Are you asking yourself the right questions?
Ever asked yourself the question, “What am I doing with my life?” Or how about, “What should I do next in my career?”
If you’ve asked yourself any variant of “What do I want?” – you’re in great company because… ME TOO!
Except what I’ve come to learn is that while we often ask ourselves a “What” question, we’re actually trying to answer “How?”
How do I find a job that lights me up?
How do I align my career with topics and activities that suit my unique skills?
How do I design a professional life that enables my personal goals?
Why does this matter? Well, it’s about perspective.
A “What” question implies that we don’t know the answer. Like something outside of us that we’re seeking and searching for.
A “How” question implies that the answer is already within us. That what we desire is possible – and our job is to find the way forward.
Which kinds of questions are you asking yourself?
I dove deep into all of this in a recent conversation with my friend Steve on the Career Sweetspot Podcast. Have a listen and let me know what you think!
And if you’re ready to uncover your own answers to these What and How questions, here are two options to help you:
