Being Inspired is Your Answer
By Deborah Brown-Volkman
Many people I speak with are looking for that magic formula, the recipe that will transform their careers. The truth is they will never find what they are looking
for. The reason is they are looking outward, when the answer is within.
I've seen many individuals create amazing careers. Even in this job market, when they are told there are no jobs, they are still securing positions that they love. How are they doing it? They are inspired.
Inspiration is that almighty force that arises from the inside. It lights you up, and gives you more power that you ever expected. Think about a time in your career when you were excited and energized because everything was going your way. Can you imagine being able to apply that feeling to where you are today?
What Will You Do Differently If You Are Inspired?
1. You Will Call The Person You've Been Afraid To Call
You will find yourself picking up the telephone and having conversations with people that get them excited. You will be able to articulate exactly what you want, and be amazed as the person on the other end extends a hand to help you.
2. You Will Send The E-Mail You've Been Afraid Of Sending
You will stop telling yourself that people are too overwhelmed to read your e-mail. You will write e-mail that inspires people to take action, and they will. Your creativity will be at its height, and your words will flow easily.
3. You Will Send The Letters You've Been Afraid To Send
You will find yourself buying the finest paper so your words can stand out. You will find the addresses of the people you want to contact effortlessly. The people to
whom you write will read your letters because they will want to know more about the passionate person who wrote them.
4. You Will Meet The People You've Been Afraid To Meet
You will get out and network with the people you have been staying away from. You will find yourself describing what you want eloquently and the people you speak with will understand you and refer you to someone who can assist you. You will enjoy yourself and be comfortable in the surroundings of people you do not know. People will want to know who you are, and your magnetism will be the catalyst that creates the relationship.
5. You Will Have The Conversations You've Been Afraid To Have
You will speak to the people in your life and ask for the support you need to move forward. You will apologize and take responsibility for expecting them to read your mind. You will acknowledge them for the gift they have been in your life. You will tell them what you want and why it is important that you receive it from them. They will appreciate your honesty and provide you with the assistance you need.
6. You Will Conquer Your Fears
And, your life will never be the same.
So, how do you get inspired? You put your disappointments behind you because you realize how much they are holding you back. You recognize that your career gets better when you make it better. You write down your vision on a piece of paper, and you look at it every day. Then, you put a plan in place to get it.
A great career does not only happen to other people. It can happen to you.
So what do you say? You only have one life to live so it might as well be a life you love!
