The
following crossed my desk recently, and I immediately thought readers of
Career StrataGems!
would like to see this: YOU
WILL RECEIVE A BODY.
You may like it or you may hate it, but it will be yours for the
entire period this time around. Learn
to love yourself completely. YOU
WILL LEARN LESSONS.
You are enrolled in a full-time informal THERE
ARE NO MISTAKES, ONLY LESSONS.
Growth is a process of trial and error and experimentation.
The failed experiments are as much a part of the process as the
experiment that ultimately works. A
LESSON IS REPEATED UNTIL LEARNED.
A lesson will be repeated to you in various forms until you have
learned it. When you have
learned it, then you can go onto the next lesson. LEARNING
LESSONS DOES NOT END.
There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons.
If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned. THERE
IS NO BETTER THAN HERE.
When your "there" has become "here," you will
simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than
"here". OTHERS
ARE MERELY MIRRORS OF YOU.
You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it
reflects something that you love or hate about yourself. WHAT
YOU MAKE OF YOUR LIFE IS UP TO YOU.
You have all the tools and resources you need.
What you do with them is up to you.
The choice is yours. THE
ANSWERS LIE INSIDE YOU.
The answers to all life's questions lie inside you.
All you need to do is look, listen and trust. YOU
WILL FORGET ALL THIS. As
with most messages, remember the formula:
K -
A =
O KNOWLEDGE
minus ACTION equals NOTHING! What
does this have to do with your career?
If you’re asking this question, you’ve missed the entire
message. === INTERVIEW
QUESTION TO PONDER This
was overheard recently at the local bookstore, as a job seeker was
describing how he could not answer a question recently asked in an
interview: “If you were a
pizza, what part of the pizza would you be, and why?”
You might want to add this to your list of interview questions to
be prepared for in the future. You
just might be asked it! What
does it mean? Depends on
which part of the pizza you are. === SIGNALS
WE OFTEN IGNORE For
those of you who missed the February Journaling to Self-discovery
Program, here are a couple of exercises used that evening.
Journaling
Exercise – Part 1 Journal for 10 minutes on the following:
I
continue to be resistant when… Journaling
Discussion – One
morning while driving down Monaco Pkwy, I found myself grabbing
for pen and paper. Here’s
what transpired: "We go about our life oblivious to what’s around us. We get up to clock radios, watch the morning news, before driving off to work listening to the radio again. While at work, we play tapes, CDs or listen to music online just to drown out the sound of the computer… Only to find one day we wake up wondering what happened? If only I had listened to what life was trying to say to me. If only I had listened to the sound of the wind. Instead, I drowned out the sounds that I really needed to hear, the cry from my inner self that said let’s be quiet for a while. If only I had listened I would have taken a different path. If only I had listened my road would be more traveled, my destiny achieved. If only I had listened, I’d be there by now!" Journaling
Exercise – Part 2 Spend the next 10 minutes journaling about signals – some we understand some we ignore. Complete the following statement: If only I had listened … === A
LIVING EXAMPLE OF EMBRACING CHANGE Some
of you may already know that I’ve made a major life decision to
relocate to the east coast (my home State of New Jersey) to be closer to
the ocean and pursue my passion for writing.
After living out west for 25+ years, this was one of the toughest
decisions I’ve made in years. Hopefully,
I can continue to be an inspiration to all of those wishing to make
changes, and especially those of you who follow my work.
I depart in June. With
all the changes I am personally and professionally experiencing, you may
have a few questions. Hopefully I
can answer them here: I have closed my Career Coaching and
Resume Writing business in the Denver area as well as no longer
scheduling workshops until I’m settled in my new location.
Journaling to Self-discovery exercises may periodically appear in this
newsletter and may eventually be an online program.
If you’re concerned about the website: www.careeradvice.com,
it will continue to be a resource for those in career transition,
providing job search, career change and career development information.
I'll be working on Career Consulting projects in my new area through
networking contacts. Stay tuned, my personal and
professional transition could just be another book! Considering
I’ve taken my own advice in living and working my passion, if you
haven’t already purchased your copy of “How To Live and Work
Your Passion and Still Earn a Living,” purchase your copy
online today. Order
Now! Hope
this finds you living and working your passion – everyday! Warmest
