Finding out your calling
I watched Oprah last week, and she had a career expert on there who helped women figure out what their calling was. Or, rather, the career that suited them the best. He said that your career should focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses. Many people get stuck in jobs that require them to use their weaknesses, which result in resentment and dread regarding going to work each day.
When you have a job that highlights your strenghs, you feel more empowered and purposeful. You can go to www.oprah.com/workshop to take the free course. I’m going to do it to see if there are some strengths that I’m not utilizing, or have pushed to the backburner, not realizing how I can use it to help me in my career, or even for a career change.
But, who would want to give up being a freelance writer, right? :) I don’t plan to do that, but maybe it can help me to figure out other ways of generating income from home by using other strengths that I have. I think it’s worth it to go check it out.
Thank you for this. It’s very good timing.
Have a lovely lovely 2009.
