Life leaves clues. Are you paying attention?

Your life is always teaching you something. Are you paying attention? 

For those of you feeling stuck in a role or that something is missing, it is natural to question what you want to do with the rest of your life. You may even be working for a company you love, but you just don't feel like you are in the 'right seat on the bus'. As a Career Coach, I hear this a lot.

Your calling or vocation is hidden in your life. Your life is constantly speaking to you through its experiences, patterns, and turning points. It is like a tapestry with many colors each representing who you are in mind, body, spirit, and purpose.

Pay attention to the lessons woven into your life story as it continues to unfold.

I love this quote! “A calling is what you have when you look back on your life and make sense of what it has been telling you all along.” Jeff Goins

Here is a quick exercise to help you explore your calling.

~Write down all the major or significant events in your life.
~What were the takeaways from each event?
~Look for a common thread and recurring theme.
~Can you see how one event influenced another?

If you continue to feel a nudge to look for something new or something that gives you a greater sense of purpose, don't let it rest or push it aside.

Keep exploring and take a step. Career clarity comes with action.
