Have you ever had a Job you hated?
Maybe you're in that situation right now?
It can be so frustrating being "Stuck" in a miserable job.
(Just Over Broke, too much month left at the end of the money)
But were you, or are you trully "Stuck"?
Life flows in cycles, you can flow with it or against it. Everything we do has meaning, sometimes we just have to look a little deeper to understand exactly what that is.
Consider this........ Think of a time when you were in a job, doing work that you thought was unfulfilling,without meaning, work that didn't exactly make your heart sing and spirit soar........ Thought of one?
Now with this particular work in mind, consider the following...
(If it helps,make a list, write it down)
What skills and knowledge did you need to carry out the work?
What did it teach you?
What did you learn about yourself?
What aspects of the work really encouraged you to grow?
What aspects did you enjoy?
What clues did it give you as to your true purpose?
Even if it taught you that it wasn't the work you were born to do, that "It" wasn't your purpose.... It did give you that gift!
As we journey through life we accumilate knowledge and skills, we learn as we go, we're always a work in progress. I can think of several times in my life when I found myself in work that wasn't fulfilling, or obvioulsy meaningful..... however, despite that, in hindsight if I really consider every aspect of those jobs, whilst they weren't neccessarily my "Purpose" , they were preapring me with the neccessary skills, knowledge and attributes for the vocation I now follow. I have learnt a lot, those times have helped to form the person I have become and am still becoming!
Now think about the worst job you ever had......
What skills and knowledge do you recycle today from that time?
What did you learn from that time that could be recycled now today,that you're currently not using?
When I consider the work that has gone before, there are many skills and pieces of knowledge that I recycle and use in my work today.
And if you're reading this and thinking,"But I hate my job now!"
consider...
What learning opportunities is it providing you with that you're not embracing?
What would you need to do, be or have to make you feel more "On purpose"?
If you could change your work tomorrow,knowing that with your accumilated knowledge and skills, you couldn't fail....
What would you do?
Every day on this journey is the chance to learn and apply what we've already learnt and experienced. What I've observed is that we naturally tend to recycle from those Jobs and work we've loved..... its the times that we feel have been a "Waste" that we dismiss, when in fact this is where some of the greatest "Nuggets" of learning and self-development can be gained!
Nothing is ever wasted if it's recycled!
What could YOU be recycling today?
Until next time ,
Make every moment count!
