Career
& Life Path
True Place, True Health, True Wealth,
True Spirit and True Love are the five goals, which all human beings
aspire to achieve in our life.
HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE A LIFE PATH?
A vocation (LIFE PATH) means more than a choice of work, more than a job. As its Latin origin suggests, vocation implies a "calling"-- as in feeling called by God, or by the needs of a community, or by a sense of one's own personal talents to make a contribution in a particular kind of work.
A career is a chosen line of work through which a person labors in a profession or trade and contributes expertise through time, energy, commitment and competence.
I always think in terms of the future: Where do I want to be in 5, 10, or 15 years? Most of us are too busy catching up with what's in front of us to take the time to see what's ahead.
Let your dream inform your vocation. Learn how to sell your dream to others. When you're selling your dream, you've got to explain everything as clearly as possible, and assure yourself and others that you will succeed.

HOW
TO MAKE IT TO THE TOP
The real dividing line is PASSION. As long as you BELIEVE that what you're doing is MEANINGFUL, you can cut through fear and exhaustion and make the NEXT STEP.
If you want to build a tree house, you'd gather some wood, a saw and a hammer, and also a rule. If you wanted to ski, you'd get skiis, boots, and a warm parka. But what if you wanted success? What would you do?
Start by writing your own mission statement. What turns you on? What's your personal definition of success? Money? Power? Fame? Or doing what you love?
A GOOD MISSION STATEMENT WILL HELP DETERMINE WHAT YOU WANT AND SHOULD DO.
I hope that you will take the time to learn and to discern the ways in which your distinctive gifts and experiences are speaking to you in your path to a true vocation.
