A Possible Way for Achieving Your Career Goals

When it comes to your career (or to any other area of your life for that matter), knowing what it is you really want is extremely helpful. I have come across many cases when the career change required was not even a big one but because of the lack of clarity it certainly looked like it.

Having a satisfying working life and a successful career is not easy. We often start with wanting something really badly. Then the circumstances force us to re-consider and compromise. So we do it, thinking, well, the day will come for me to return to my original plan. Only the days are passing and we start slowly losing sight of our original dream. And once we lose sight, we become lost. Working becomes a tool for survival, stripped of any joy and enthusiasm it once possessed.

And yet, it is possible to accept many different twists and turns in our career and still arrive at our original, dreamed destination. The trick is to never ever lose sight of it and only adjust our initial vision if we want to, and only adjust it how we want to.

By now you are probably saying that this is just loads of unrealistic talk but in reality, I am sure you know somebody in your surroundings who has done just that.
I, personally, have many clients for whom just to imagine their ideal day and their ideal working environment was such a powerful exercise that it brought back the clarity about their career and what they wanted from it. From then on, they became unstoppable; not wanting to lose the momentum and the newly discovered excitement was a major driving force behind their actions. And because that excitement is contagious, the offers started coming. And my clients burned bridges, moved countries, made the craziest of decisions but arrived at the point where they had always wanted to be.

If you are also at a crossroads and thinking about the right direction, visualize your final destination. Then accept that some roads might take you longer, others might represent a shortcut but in the end, if you keep your vision untouched, you will get there.

Just remember to enjoy the trip, you don´t want to arrive at your dream job as a tired, bored and grumpy person.
