Do you find your job inspiring and fulfilling, or do you dread going to work, feeling the heaviness of the Sunday and Monday blues which lowers your self-esteem, and leaves you with a lack in having a purpose of life.
Considering that a significant portion of your life is spent working, aligning your career with the following is crucial:
- your passions,
- purpose and
- meaning
Without this alignment, you may find connecting with the excitement and meaning in your job challenging. It can lead to dissatisfaction and a lack of fulfilment.
You have possibly been advised by caring or even fearful people to stay in your current job due to:
- economic uncertainties;
- or the perceived scarcity of opportunities
While it is practical to consider these factors, it is equally important to reflect on whether your current role aligns with your true purpose. And at what cost is staying in an unfulfilling job is it to your mental and self-love well-being? If you are not passionate about your work, it might be worth exploring other opportunities, even in a challenging economic climate.
I am fortunate to be able to do what I love every day. This fulfilment and inspiration fill my life with purpose, meaning and satisfaction. I encourage you to seek a similar alignment in your career.
How to accept the job you are in and elevate your career:
- identifying your core values by aligning your job responsibilities along with them. You will be more accepting of your job. You are then more recognised and acknowledged;
- write a list of what you love to do in your current career, and keep your focus and attention on that
- ensure that what you are doing in your current career makes a difference in your life as well as in those you are working for;
- prioritize your higher tasks you love to do, and delegate lower-priority duties where possible. You will then be more accepting of the job you are in knowing there will always be challenges;
- by doing what you love you will see opportunities. If you are afraid to take the leap, get professional help rather than miss the opportunity that is there for you, to elevate your career.
There are similarities between people who do what they love and are aligned with what is described above.
Understanding your purpose and what truly inspires you is essential. Consider what motivates you to get up in the morning and pursue your goals with enthusiasm. Reflect on your most inspiring vision or dream. Remember, it is not enough to aspire to be an entrepreneur. You need to identify what specific activities you would love to engage in, each day as an entrepreneur.
