Where Are You in Your Career Adventure Path?

Where Are You in Your Career Adventure Path? 

Are you in a rut or in a groove in your career adventure path? Rut and groove are both furrows. But a rut is boring, uninteresting, and can be depressing. Whereas being in the groove is good fun and energizing. And being in the groove is the act of getting the best out of yourself.

Then I would like to ask you a few questions about your career and I believe if you’re able to give me satisfactory answers, then you’re good to go in your career adventure.

Where are you at the moment?

In a Rut or a Groove?

A rut is caused by having your foot firmly on the accelerator. Whereby you’re pressing it down for all you are worth but you’re not going anywhere. Absolutely nowhere!

You are, most probably, covering all the people standing behind you with earth, grass, rubbish, waste, etc, but you’re not moving. In fact, you’re getting deeper and deeper in trouble until finally, you are up to the axle and not going anywhere. So stuck that you will need a spade, a fork, a tow truck, or anything to get you going again.

How did you get there?

Doing the same thing day after day. Following the same routine over and over again. Following those wonderful phrases in your head;

It was good enough for …. It will be good enough for me

It worked. It will work for me.

You always did it this way…………..

Before you criticize me for talking negatively about the tradition, I am in no way knocking or mocking the tradition. Tradition has a place but not at the expense of happiness and excitement in our lives.

In our book, if it makes you unhappy, bored, and pessimistic why are you still doing it? Then, the question is:

How would you get out of it?

Simple.

Change your habits.

It’s your habits that got you into the rut and it’s your habits that will get you out.

But FIRST.

You have to accept that you are in a rut.

You have to admit that you have been taking the easy option for a long time.

You have to accept that at a certain point in time, you made a mistake.

You have to accept that time and money are not going to get you out of this mess.  

However, you need to know that:

You have to change!

You must initiate the action. No one else. Just YOU. No one can get you out of a rut only you.

NOW STOP.

Sit down for a moment. Think.

•    What’s the real problem?

•    What’s behind your going deeper and deeper into a rut?

•    What’s the fear here?

•    What are you trying to avoid? AND

DON’T rush it. Stay with it.

Do whatever you need to do to bottom it and find the way forward.

NOW ARE YOU WITH ME?

Gradually write down the way out. Don’t take the first answer. Make an effort to write down 30 ideas of the way out. Gradually you will become more and more creative. Then one idea will stick. It will come equipped with fairy lights, a spotlight, and if you are really lucky-WOW! a full orchestra.

That’s the way forward.

Now you have a way forward that feels comfortable. Now you are moving into the groove. You feel happy, energized, and focused. You are in the flow. The passion is aroused. Everything is in synch. Everything you do works.

You are off.

Go on try.

You owe it to yourself.

Good Luck
