Reinvent Yourself NOW!

Create a Career Path with Heart in Spite of Your "Stuff"

The challenge is how to break free of letting everyone else control your life and to create a career with heart. In the last blog I gave the intuitive answer to this dilemma.            

This is the logical answer with practical questions to begin to break free of being a puppet on a string for other people's agenda. Brainstorm and answer with the first thought that pops into your head:                                                                                                                                

• Who and what drains you? . . is toxic to you being all you can be?               
• What fuels you? When is the last time you did these things? 
• How would you have to think, feel, see and/or act differently to begin       to put "heart" into your career path. Think small. People change in sixteenths of an inch.

To do more of what fuels you means doing less of what drains you. The secret is learning to say no to toxic events and people with respect and dignity for yourself and others.

Pick your favorite right and repeat it like a mantra as often as necessary. Know that may be 50 times a day. Don't expect yourself to believe it. Just say it and move ahead in spite of your stuff.

Welcome to my Career Satisfaction Blog

Yes, a warm welcome to my blog. I was so excited about becoming a blogger that I neglected to share with you my vision for the Reinvent Yourself NOW blog.

I invite you to partner with me, your virtual mentor, to begin the process to create your career/life path with "heart." This is my wish and passion. I will share-from my heart to yours-the tips, tricks, and laser questions based on my 30 years experience as a career/life transition expert.

Start by answering the question in the previous blog "Does Your Path have Heart? . . . or Heartburn?" Is the answer yes, no, or a little of both? Then, off the top of your head, brainstorming : list the parts of your job that have heart and what gives you heartburn. And if you are between careers (notice I did not say unemployed), answer the question based on your last job.

if you are looking for more meaning and satisfaction in your work, I welcome your feedback Just click on the Comments right after this post.

Let's have fun in the process.
