"Life is a game, you live so you play.
Follow your dreams and win what your happy heart desires.”
― Roel van
Sleeuwen
All
of us struggle to find a solution to the vexed issue of what we should do in
our life. Some amongst us tend to describe ourselves through our work and the
solution lies in finding a career that gels with our inherent inclinations –
something that inspires and is delightful. All successful careerists are
self-conscious and self-responsive and hence it is necessary to have a laconic
inspirational atlas. Such an atlas will help to serve as a pragmatic master-plan
against which you can gauge the suitability of any job opening or career
bearing.
The entire idea of inspiration may appear
to be rather hypothetical or speculative and transforming it into an actual
life option could also appear to be difficult. But yet, that is what is
inescapable. A portfolio of your profoundest, all-encompassing and deep-seated principles
and standards lies at the very core of your inspirational atlas. These
standards vary for different people, but nevertheless embrace various approvals
and gratifications that all of us determinedly look for, including encounters that
tend to put people off.
Your principles and standards are
characteristically what can be termed as your alignments. They manifest a
belief, precedence, contentment, abhorrence or interactive outlook. Whatsoever
be echoed, the principles and standards are describable results like
accomplishment, allegiance, steadiness, self-worth, progress and understanding,
etc. Most of your impelling forces generally take shape when you are young and
get to be concretised with the passage of time as profoundly entrenched life issues.
These life issues are nothing but fervently propelled enthusiasms; and can have
both short and long term implications.
In order to conduct an assessment of what
our inspirations are, your principles and standards need to be accorded a
precedence. You will have to identify those facets about you that are truer and
germane, including your aspirations. You will have to sift amongst them to
segregate could-be, should-be and must-be categories. This will help you to
discern which principles and standards are crucial or relatively unimportant.
Having done so, you need to know your actions that facilitate articulation and realisation
of your principles and standards. Depending upon your outlook, you make seek
challenges, foster affiliations or simply play safe.
Impelling factors that cause you to act in
a particular way manifest in the form of your conduct and deeds, but
concurrently representing your principles and standards. It has been proven
that individual mentalities invariably want to recurrently go through actions
and feelings that please them the most. Therefore, if you can catalogue, accord
precedence and knock down a couple of your most rewarding attainments, your
most potent inducers will repeatedly emerge and re-emerge. In the process, you
will also be able to see the primary principles and standards that they shore
up. In other words, you will discern if you are inventive, imaginative,
venturesome or independent, etc.
The crux of the matter is that every
single principle and standard of yours should manifest continually in your work
and life. In case, such a thing does not happen, your inspiration level is
bound to plummet. There are many people who fail to differentiate their
capabilities and aptitudes; they tend to swap inspiration for competency and
then have misgivings about their lacklustre life. There are others who
undertake to do what others tell them to do and in the process disregard their
own principles and standards.
In the light of the above, when you
conduct any self-awareness, you must mull over all earlier life decisions or
life-altering events. You should seek out the impelling factors that went to
make those decisions; and find out if they truly represented your principles and
standards as also whether they were gratifying or not. Having done so, you need
to scout around for definite designs and contours in your principles and
standards as also impelling agents. Such designs and contours, because of
repeated usage become richer, intense and refined. The outcome is that your
inspirational atlas assumes a concrete form and you become distinguishable
vis-à-vis others. Your profile penchants and conduct thus mature. You can now
transform your hitherto for abstract inspirations into an actual life
inducements.
The bottom line of all your efforts is
prioritising your principles and standards so that your true inspirations come
to the fore. And when you utilise your inspirations, you give wings to your
passions. When you take a step towards your dreams, there will be problems and
obstacles, but as you move ahead, you will overcome them naturally. There is no
way now that you will falter in embarking upon a great career.
