Have you always thought that you had the wrong profession? That if you probably pushed through with your first, or perhaps second or third career choice, you would have, by now, your own house, or mansion, your own car or cars, and maybe managing your own company or...productions. You see there are endless possibilities. Numerous permutations that you can probably solve using a formula if you knew the exact numbers of variables – like the number of professions you would have considered and the number of your dreams/ambitions. Such will lead us to the realization, that the chances of us getting our expectations right is actually inversely proportional to the number of careers we have in mind! Which will make us realize in the end, that indeed it is not choosing the perfect career, but how we utilize what we have become to get what we want is the real deal.
If you are to ask some of your friends whether they are satisfied with their career, you are likely to get a positive response from those who are doing well financially and professionally, and a negative one from those who are not. This observation is rather an expected outcome, so much so, that it may pass as a theory but not quite a law. The reason is that there is another way of putting it logically. That is supposedly if you have the right career, then you should be getting quite a sum of money and an exponential growth in this chosen field. That, it is equally logical (if not more )that, getting your own car, your own house, or maybe your own talk show should be a product of the right profession. And not its difference.
However, partly because of an instinctive desire to spare our ego of the blame (which is justifiable) and partly to search for an easy way out of what we perceive as soon to be a “mess”, we account our profession as an inexact means to our ends. We fail to realize, that it is actually the loss of focus that has eluded us from our goals. As they say, the road to success is not always smooth. Rather it is more often than not rough. Thus, the momet we stumble, giving up, choosing another direction (then realizing eventually that this one is as rocky as the first one) may not be the best option.
Because of the complexities of life, the many variables to consider, we may be led to consider different solutions. And yet there is only one formula for victory in which finding the right career is not a constant . Rather, it is seeing a goal and aiming for it unswervingly, no matter what profession we are in, that will lead us to a 100% probability of suceeding.
