Motivation about Your Career Goals

by: Matthew Goudge

Many of us, when we were young, dream of many things to get once we get old. We wanted to be a nurse, a doctor, a teacher, an engineer, an architect or even a spaceman. We want to be all of them when we grow up. But as we go along in life, and gain a greater understanding of it, some of the lucky ones among us step by step tunnel-visioned ourselves into that specific dream.

The decision to follow this dream may have come out from an experience that looks to draw us to it, or the realization of what we really want out of life or how we go about living it. But someway, somewhere, and at a certain time we will choose to be what we want to be. We will look for our career path. And finally this career will be our passion.

Firstly, though we must set our career goals, we should make them as specific as possible so that we can have particular plans of actions that will specifically guide us to that dream result. These goals though we should make realistic.

They should be something you can actually get to be. Actually, you can be anything you want to be but to get there. But you have to accept the reality that anything so far high in a life’s goal is not as easy as calculating from 1 to 3. So take it one step at a time. Make a plan to reach that goal that is step-by-step and efficient. Slowly but surely as we they say.

Plan a short-term goal first. The first plan should be to get to the right job and to be at the right place. Choose a place that would open for you a lot of chances, particularly chances to grow, career-wise and personally. Then you can get from there. Follow the steps to success; go from one level to the next. If you get lucky, may be you can skip some levels. This is possible as we have seen in life from time to time.

All these times though, hold on to your motivations. It may be that flaming dream that you have had since you were a kid. There is nothing that could compare to the feeling of having your childhood dreams realized. So that hope is a very extreme motivation.

For whom you are reaching so hard for is another motivation. Generally these are family members that serve as our purpose to be the best we can be. Not only do they inspire us to provide for them financially but sometimes more importantly we want to give pride for them, for our family. Our loved ones and friends and other people and things that we care about can even be a greater motivation than what we hope for ourselves.

In the end the best motivation could be what makes us happy. What we choose to be now can guide to us being happy all our lives, or to being unhappy. So we must continuously remind ourselves of these things, because they will specify our career goals. And they will keep up our motivation to reach these dreams.

Change Your Future

by: Deborah Brown-Volkman

Are you focused on the past or the potential your future holds?

Many people can’t let go of something that happened A long time ago. Maybe it was a conversation you had, or didn’t have. Maybe it was a project you should have taken, or one that you let pass by. Maybe it was something you said on an interview, or didn’t say.

Everyone has ‘something’ in their career that they wish they could change. So, know that you are not alone. It’s not what happened that matters most now, but what you do going forward.

So, How Do You Let Go Of Your Past And Change Your Future’ Follow These Four Steps Below:

1. Admit That Your Past Is Holding You Back

If you are angry or blaming someone, you are stuck. Being stuck means that you are not taking action. After a while, it doesn’t make a difference who was right or wrong. What counts is your career, and it’s up to you to move it forward. It’s ok to be upset about past mistakes. It’s ok to wish your career was in another place. Use that energy to create something different for the future.

2. Look At What Happened Objectively

Recall the incident. (Or, incidents.) Rather than pushing your memories away, let them float to the surface. Assess whether what happened to you is a one time event or a recurring theme. Look for patterns, your role in causing them, rather than what keeps ‘happening’ to you. Your goal is to see your past from a new perspective. Once you know what the problem is, then you can fix it.

3. Forgive Yourself

If someone told your ‘story’ to you, what would you say’ How would you react’ You would probably be easy on the storyteller, while you are most likely being hard on yourself. Recognize that you are human and humans make mistakes. Gain strength from your newfound knowledge. You are a better person because of what you have found out about yourself. It’s important to let go of what happened. The past does not determine your future, you do. You can’t change the past, but you can change the path you are on now. Focus on your accomplishments and what you do right. Get ready for the future. Leave the past where it belongs; behind you.

4. Take Action

If your past no longer defines you, then you can live satisfied in the present, while planning for the next steps in your career that inspire you. Ask yourself, where you want your career to be one year from now. Where do you want to be in three years, five years, or more’ Write down the steps you will take to get yourself there. (The more specific the better.) Make a plan and put specific milestones into your calendar. The good news is the weight will be lifted. You will be too engrossed with your present goals to be held back from the past anymore. Your momentum will begin to soar and you’ll have the energy to take your career to new heights.

So, what do you say’ You only have one life to live, so it might as well be a life you love!
