You can use your discovery about yourself as a starting point for moving forward in the process of changing your career. It is up to you to decide when you should move forward and stay committed to making the change. Yes, you have financial, personal and other responsibilities that will need to be considered. However, you will have to decide when is the best time to go after a meaningful and fulfilling career.
You know when you are not satisfied with your job or career path, but you decide to stay. Sometimes your daily life may be so overwhelming that you do not try to reach the goals you set for making a change. You may feel guilty that making a change in order to follow your dreams would be selfish, especially if it decreases your income, or upsets your family and friends. Think about how you may inspire someone else to live their dreams, because they saw you do so.
How to Overcome Obstacles
How do you increase your chances of success in discovering yourself and a career that would be rewarding and satisfying? You can start with learning how to overcome obstacles that hold you back from accomplishing your goals. The two biggest road blocks are fear and the lack of clarity.
Fear – It leads us to believe we are too old to change; If I change jobs I may have to start at the bottom; What if I fail . . . Being afraid of change is normal and it is necessary to acknowledge it, but do not let it prevent you from moving forward. One way of conquering your fear is to look to other people who have gone through a life and/or career change.
Lack of Clarity – It is obvious to most people what they do not want, rather than what they do want. We are too busy living out other peoples’ expectations of us, where we lose sight of what actually makes us happy. Or we do not know how we can transfer our skills and talent into meaningful work we would enjoy.
