Are you on the right career path?

Figuring out what you want to do with your life can be quite stressful. Schools and the education system assist us in finding our passion and interests. From as early as grade 9 we are given career guidance, this helps us learn more about what we want to become in the next 5 to 10 years.

Many millennials seek fulfilment from their careers and also find work that is purposeful. You wouldn't want to spend 8 hours of your time working and not get any results or have no impact on your company. With all of that said, how are you supposed to know if you are on the right path if what you want is always a few steps ahead of you? Here are 7 ways to know if you're on the right career path for yourself.

1.       You have blocked the noise

You have eliminated all the external noise in your life that prevent you from prospering. You don't live according to what society expects and what people think does not affect you. Most importantly, you are connected to your desires and you take time to plan your next move.

2.       You are doing what excites you the most

Mondays are not a drag for you, you actually wake up in the morning with a lot of energy to tackle your work. You get to a point where you don't count the hours at work because you are doing what you love doing. A quote attributed to Confucius says "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."

3.       You are a master at what you do

You do your work effortlessly which is inspired by the talent and abilities you were born with. Your work is better than anyone you know. You are playing your own game with no stress or pressure.

4.       You don't settle for mediocrity

All your time is invested in one project that you are good at and not on side projects that can cause a disruption in your career growth. This means you are focused and have direction in your career.

5.       You don't work for schedule, it works for you

Companies these days accommodate employees and how they want to work so your schedule is centred around the time your creativity is most active. If getting your work done at 5 am helps you be more productive then you're doing it right.

6.       Everything in your life is 'working'

Your thoughts, opportunities, resources, money and time are synchronised which creates balance in your life. You no longer have limiting beliefs that hold you back on living a good life.

7.       You are committed to service

You care more about the impact of your work. You fully support businesses that are centred around a collective rather than one person. You are constantly checking trends to create new ways of solving problems.
