False security

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.

On tiptoe or on purpose?!

We come this way but once. We can either tiptoe through life and hope that we get to death without being too badly bruised or we can live a full, complete life achieving our goals and realising our wildest dreams.

You are responsible

I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration; I can humiliate or humour, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated, and a person humanized or de-humanized. If we treat people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming.

Career Direction

From Alice's Adventures in Wonderland:
"Would you please tell me which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to".
"I don't much care where ..." said Alice.
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the cat.

I recently ran a survey to my subscribers and 99% of respondents said they considered their career important or very important and yet only 30% said they had clear goals or direction for their career!

So why is that if so many people consider their career to be important that they spend so little time and effort planning their career or creating a clear direction for their future. My experience tells me that the reason people don't set goals is because they don't really know how they can achieve them, or they may believe it's impossible for them to achieve the career or work they would really love to do. When I start speaking to clients about what they would really love to do, mostly they become more animated and passionate as they tell me what they would really LOVE to do and then immediately follow this with all the reasons why they think it's not possible for them. My job then of course, is to help them overcome any fears or limiting beliefs which stop them moving towards the work they really desire.

So, what is it that stops you setting goals for your career?

Are you looking for a career change or a new direction?

Thinker and Prover

In Robert Anton Wilson's book - Prometheus Rising, he talks about the concept of the human mind behaving as if it were divided into two parts - the Thinker and the Prover. He states that 'What the Thinker thinks the Prover will prove. For example if someone thinks that all homeless people are lazy, then the Prover will prove it. It will seek out all the evidence that it can find to show that every single homeless person is lazy. Even scientists who are still believed to be objective will prove this rule. Studies of the lives of the great scientists prove that they are as passionate and hence as 'prejudiced' as any great painter or musician.

Hence, if your Thinker thinks that it is impossible for you to make money from doing the work you love then your Prover will go out of its way to confirm this. If you think that not having a degree makes you stupid or inferior then again your Prover will go out of its way to find evidence of this.

Are your thoughts helping you to achieve what you want?!

Are you looking for a career change and unsure which direction to take?
