Working to Live, or Living to Work?

Your job may not be killing you, but if it makes you sick in the figurative sense, it’s time to find your dream job! Congratulations on taking this important step!

There’s no taboo against enjoying what you do for a living, though it seems that most of us sleepwalk through our days at boring, uninspiring or frustrating jobs. Don’t settle for humdrum: You can find the ideal career to fulfill your needs and stimulate your interests.

The First 30 Days will help you through this groundbreaking, invigorating and semi-scary life change. While laying the foundation for a fulfilling career, you can expect to:

• Discover your passions and what you’d like to do
• Determine your best skills and assets
• Explore and research your opportunities
• Organize a workspace, a schedule, your resume and cover letters
• Use any and all resources to work toward your dream job

Recent studies indicate that the people who have job satisfaction are people who have a positive attitude. Also, people who are most satisfied with their work situation tend to care for, teach or protect other people as part of their jobs. Apparently, people who help people are happy!

So, as you begin to set objectives and learn how to reach them, give some thought as whether reaching your goals could help somebody else in the future.
