Moving past your mentally imposed limits is challenging.

There is so much to be aware of, so many things which can be addressed in a life that it is difficult to know where to begin.

Well, take it one day at a time.

When a particular question about the direction your life is taking crosses your mind, and it resonates with you as being truly important, make it your life-direction question of the day.

Perhaps making it the center of your mental efforts will yield good results.

Finding A "Job" - How To Direct Your Life Onto A Path Which Doesn't Lead To Regret-Filled Mediocrity

Four Simple Techniques

1. Seek Out People Who Love What They Do : When you find people who love what they do, learn from them. Maybe they reject you at first. No problem. If you want it, if the knowledge calls to you, be persistent. No one who loves what they do will turn away someone who is as passionate as they for their...whatever. Human beings are designed to share knowledge.
2. Find A Company, Coalition, Group... You Truly Like And Admire : Find a way to work for them. Start at the bottom. Get the education required. Meet them for coffee. Write about them for a newspaper or journal or blog. Shower them with letters, candy, love and affection. Whatever it takes. Love the group. Show them the love. Get in, or Get a lot of energy to find a similar place.
3. Remember Moments In Your Past Which Had "Magic" : And find a way to make them reality. A piece of music moved you profoundly? Learn to play the instrument. Learn to compose. Become a writer on music. In my case, video games and movies move me deeply. I analyze what it is about them which draws me, and it is the adventure, friendship, and the growing.
4. Approach People Who "Look Happy" : It's a good bet that if they look happy it is partially to do with them doing a "job" which they like. I think people who are happy want to help others become happy as well. Maybe the happy looking people can help you get a job at their work, or recommend you to a happy friend. Happy people want to make other people happy.
   

My Thoughts On The Techniques

• I was raised to think that you needed to get a "real" job, a "real" education to get a real job, "real" networking to get to know where the real jobs were, etc, etc, servile drivel.
• I have worked numerous jobs. Empty experiences. I don't connect with the job because I do it to make money, with the hope maybe I'll find...something which will grab me. This is a dead-end if there ever was one. I know it in my bones now. Kind of late at 31, but who cares? Certainly not our competition-driven, commercial-oriented society.
