Do you love your career?

There is nothing you cannot do, be or have

Does your work embody who you are and do you love your career? Does it give you a sense of purpose and make you have that sense of satisfaction that you are doing what you were born to?

The fact is that, if your job does not turn on your full current, if it does not make your creative juices ooze and flow through you, if it does not energize and fulfill you then it is time to think twice about your career!

There are a lot of people who are miserable in their careers. This happens when you do not love your career. Their jobs do not align with who they are and the things that matter to them. Some statistics, the Deloitte shift index survey go as far as shockingly stating that 80% of people are in the wrong careers.

However, some still argue that with the current economy lapses in a good number of countries all over the world, one cannot afford the luxury of doing what they love because jobs are scarce and you’ve got to deal with that! Some say that what you love will not always earn you money. I am here to state otherwise.

Question is, would you rather be tired, unfulfilled, unmotivated, stressed out, unhappy, and feel like you are on a monotonous journey whose destination you subconsciously know but are unwilling to accept?

Napoleon Hill clearly states in his book, ‘Think and Grow Rich’ that when one is truly ready for a thing, then it puts in its appearance and when he or she desires a thing so deeply that he or she is willing to stake his or her entire future for a single turn of the wheel then he is sure to get it.

When you love your career, dreams can very much become a reality when you know how to turn them into one. This is a psychological and scientific fact, and not merely a fantasy idea. Many have done so, and anyone else also can.  Bottom-line! ANYTHING CAN EARN YOU MONEY AND RICHES WITH THE RIGHT MINDSET AND CREATIVITY!
