When we were kids we didn't yet have the limiting beliefs that as adults frequently keep us from pursuing and having what we really want in life. Spend some time remembering things from your childhood that created joy, excitement and sense of purpose. Why were you drawn to those ideas or activities? How did they make you feel? Your ideal career should recreate those feelings.
Here are a few ways to use clues from your childhood to identify your ideal career:
- What was your favorite game or toy? What emotions did it evoke in you?
- What sports did you enjoy? Were they team or individual sports? What drew you that specific sport?
- What did you want to be when you grew up? How did you feel when you imagined yourself as an astronaut or teacher or firefighter?
- What was your favorite game of pretend?
Remembering these times vividly will start you on the path to understanding your purpose and the career that will fulfill it.
