Are you looking for a job?

Friday, October 10th, 2008

The chances are, you are looking for a job, but every time you look at job offers on Craigslist.com or Monster.com, you feel nauseated because nothing fits you and most jobs you wouldn’t ever want to do. Then there are those jobs you just might be ok in, but they ask for requirements you don’t have.

ARRRGHHHHH!!! You think “Where are all the fun easy jobs?”

Here is LIFE LESSON #1: You have to create your own job and your own career, otherwise you’ll always be at the mercy of other people’s job offers that are never perfectly suited for you.

Frankly, the new energy demands it. Although the old world jobs still exist, they won’t for long. Trust me, all the fun easy jobs are the ones people created for themselves. Think of Walt Disney! And now all of humanity benefits from his courage and creativity.

And yes, it’s scary going out on your own, building your own perfect career, and then promoting yourself. Then again, even when applying for jobs, you have to promote yourself with your resume (a silly little paper which doesn’t say anything about you- not really).

Start living in the 21st century folks! This means that humanity can benefit from you only when you’re happy, but your job happiness is your responsibility. Please do not wait for someone else to do it for you.

“But how about money?” you ask. I’ll tell you! In the beginning, you may temporarily need to accept some silly Craiglist job in order to survive. But while you’re surviving, don’t judge your self-worth based on THAT job. Start creating your perfect career, and time will come when that will make you enough money.

LIFE LESSON #2: Do what you love and the money will come!

It will. You may not be able to control how quickly because there will be a lot to learn, but every step of the way, you will have the satisfaction of building something GENUINE.

Remember that story about 3 little pigs? What do you think the moral of the story was? Well, the moral was that when you build your house out of weak material, it will be destroyed. But when you build your house out of strong material, it will keep.

From an energetic viewpoint, “weak” material is something your heart is not into. “Strong” material is, of course, something that you genuinely love.

Ask yourself these questions about your current job or past jobs:

- Was I completely happy there?
- Was I completely free to express myself?
- Did I enjoy my schedule?
- Did I enjoy my environment?
- Did I love the people I worked with?

If the answers are NO to all or most questions, your job isn’t aligned with YOU. And because you are a dynamic being who is always changing, the only way to make sure your job changes with you is to create your own job.

Wishing you Success!

Why don’t you have more money?

Monday, September 29th, 2008

 

Money is just energy and if you are not receiving as much as you’d like, you need to examine your thought patterns. We usually call these limiting beliefs.

Although limiting beliefs specifically concerning money can be the cause of your lack of abundance, the causes are usually a lot more general and can be found manifesting in many areas of your life, not just financial well-being.

 

Here they are:

- feeling unworthy

- not feeling a part of global community

- not feeling appreciated/loved

- fear of failure and success (these are really the same thing)

- perfectionistic attitutes

- fear of changes in others, for example that your friends will be jealous and start talking behind your back, and/OR that they will expect you to share your newfound fortune with them

- fear of losing it all

- belief that you lack certain skills and talents, which you also believe are necessary for financial success

- Fear that people who give you money will own you and exploit you

- Fear of partnerships because someone else might take credit for your work

- Fear of getting used to a better lifestyle and then not being able to continue supporting it

- Belief that there always has to be an exchange between things you give and things you get, and that you have to give a lot to get a lot

- Belief that people don’t want to help you or see you doing well, because people are stingy and always want to bring you down to their level

- Fear of confict

- Fear of being seen and of being criticized

- Fear of people expecting you to continue living up to your newfound success or committing to certain decisions/actions

- Fear of losing your freedom, ie. gaining all kinds of new obligations

 
One of the ways to find out what’s stopping you is to ask yourself what kind of a person you think makes lots of money? What talents and skills do you believe they have? Then, think about whether you fit that profile. Here are some examples:

- confidence with people

- talks easily with people

- has a big network

- charismatic

- easy-going

- great verbal skills

- not afraid to make propositions and represent herself/himself

- action-oriented

- lots of energy

- enthusiasm

- great leader

- knows how to handle conflict

- not bothered by criticism

- assertive, self-assured

- has had great mentors who were financially successful

- had a loving childhood

- determination

- works a lot every day

- visionary

- genius

- has unique creative ideas

- is loving and selfless

- good-listener

- has great recommendations
