Spiritually Speaking, How Did You Find A Career You Love?

January 2, 2010 – 5:00 pm

Hello,
Some people know what they want to do for their careers very early in life & stick with it. Others (like me), struggle with the issue a lot. Some go from job to job, or from business idea to business idea without finding something they truly love.
How did you find your “purpose” in life in terms of a career? Have any advice to finding your passion or career that will actually make your happy & fulfilled?
Thanks in advance!

  2. Sometimes the things we just love to do aren’t lucrative enough to have as careers, so you have to explore what other talents and skills you might have.
    You could see a career counselor and take some assessments to see what career groups might be a good match for you.
    As for me, I was fortunate in my early career as a performer and was able to tour the country singing in musical theatre groups, then I became a church music director and teacher when I had a child, only performing locally. Still do, frequently.
    But after a while I began to explore the possibility of going into ordained ministry, eventually discerning that what I was attracted to was the counseling side of it, so I earned a master’s in counseling psychology and am now a foster care manager and counselor. I love it — all the pieces came together and the timing could not have been better.
    My professional and personal statement of purpose was something I actually did sit down and think about. I wrote it out and I have been amazed to see how things have been put into place which have helped me achieve my goals.
    Good luck — since you’re giving this some thought, think of this as an opportunity to make the change you’ve been wanting in your life.
    You can achieve it–but I do recommend writing out your goals and deciding what steps you’ll take to get there.

  3. I like Web design, and into computers. I believe that purpose, when I’ve got free time, is to use the Web and its many tools to reach out to people with the Gospel.
