Do you know your personality type based on the Myers-Briggs personality assessment?
If not, this is a tremendously beneficial tool in helping you understand yourself, your motivations and behavior, and how you interact with the people around you.
And knowing the personality types of the people close to you is extremely helpful in understanding them and how you can best relate to them.
Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life. ~ Dr. Wayne Dyer
Follow your bliss. Do what you love. Live your passion.
You know the truth in those words. You’ve heard them many times and have probably cogitated on how they apply to your life, your job.
Am I doing what I love? Am I passionate about my job?
A few years ago, I wanted to start over with my career. I’d been in public relations off and on for over 25 years. When my oldest child left home, I had more time to devote to building my career, but I just couldn’t get jazzed about cranking up my PR consultancy.
I have changed over the years. My interests and values have shifted. I loved working in public relations when I was younger and childless. I got to travel, work with celebrities and fashion, live in New York, and meet all kinds of interesting people.
As the years passed by, these things didn’t mean as much to me anymore. I knew something was missing in my work life, but I didn’t know what career would be rewarding and fulfilling for me.
“The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours – it is an amazing journey – and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.” – Bob Moawad
This is a guest post by Jasmine Stephenson of An Apple a Day.
My name is Jasmine. I graduated from the University of South Florida at the age of 21 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology.
While going to school full time, I participated in extracurricular activities and worked full time at a law firm. After receiving my diploma, I moved to Arizona.
I found a great job at another law firm. I had my own apartment, and a dog.
Sounds pretty normal, right?
