Do You Have a New Year's Career Resolution?

Repeat after me: "I read this article" The new year is a time of new beginnings, focusing on priorities, and make a resolution to take (and keep) the action. It's a perfect time to make a decision or commitment to find a job you love. But finding a natural vocation that motivates you every day, and using their talents and accomplishes its core brand to suit your needs requires more than willing. Everyone wants something. People want a big house with columns, a new partner, a different body and a vacation to Tahiti. They also want a new life - at least one new work life. At least that's what the statistics and my comments reflect. If so many people desire to be in their career dreams, why very few actually achieve that goal? The answer, dear reader, is found mainly in the difference between desires and commitments. Want: Not the state of wanting something that is absent or unavailable. Needs are our hopes, dreams, ambitions and passions. Want to keep us going, but they are a dime a dozen. This is because they are so easy to take. Wishing does not require surgery. You can stay on the couch watching "Lifestyles of the rich and famous," and the time your want to float in and out of your head like a fantasy, which is roughly what they are. Commitment: Not the act of linking you (intellectually or emotionally) to a course of action. commitments, by contrast, are the requirements you set for your life. They are solemn commitments to achieve a specific result. They provide the raw energy-motivation you need to live an extraordinary life. Compare the two statements: Nancy: "I want to find a career that I love," Karen: "I want to find a career that love," Who do you think is more likely the possibility of finding a career that love? The bottom line is that if you want to achieve a satisfying career, you need to make some commitments to yourself. Nothing to do. Where to go from here? The key to positive career choice is: 1. identify the complete list of requirements 2. decide you want to work to find a complete list of needs is necessary to examine all aspects of you and your situation: their physical, personality, work values, goals, the ideal working environment, and family status. I found the most effective way to achieve the first step is through a combination of methods (introspection), (b) the personal evaluations and (c) exercises and questions raised by a career counselor and coach. Once the list, the second phase, to decide what they want to commit and what they are willing to work. Why not get what we want? Why life is not fair. In fact it can be very poor at times. Our chances of running in one of the wonders of life are only slightly better than freezing in hell. But the odds increase considerably that they undertake to have a wonderful life. As the Rolling Stones, said: "You Can not Always Get What You Want". Please note that says "You Can not Always Get What You commit."
