The path to self-awareness can be a dark, scary place. And many avoid it if they can. But if you want to have a fulfilling career…and life, you need to know the basics: who you are, what you want and what you need. And when you do, each choice you make will keep you on the happiness track. The examination of your inner psyche doesn’t have to be daunting. It can be an enjoyable exercise…if you have a palatable approach and a good guide.
The primary question before you is which of these two offers is the best choice? In order to arrive at a definitive answer, you’ll need to take a stroll down self-awareness lane. Below are several relevant questions to ask yourself:
Once you’ve completed this exercise, take some time to process all the information. Then… do a gut-check. By this time, your instincts should be pretty strong. And instincts are never wrong. So listen to them if you have a strong sense of which opportunity is the most compelling for you and move in that direction.
One opportunity does not fit all – and in order to make the best choices for ourselves, a healthy dose of self awareness is required. Once we master the basics, choices become easier and life becomes a bit better. So complete this inner inquiry and you’ll discover the signs that will point you in the direction that’s best for you…and your career.
