“Most people aren’t majoring in the field that will lead to their dream job.”
Kendra Todd
The truth is we start our careers based on a set of guidelines where others influence us.Like parents. Like teachers. Like our ‘friends’.
So often it’s not our gut instinct that leads us on, more the pressure we take from well-meaning others.

Is it any wonder that so many of us are square pegs in round holes?

Notice the sensation. There is something you can do about it.

You can choose differently.

What does matter when you try this little exercise, is to make sure that you are very open and honest with yourself. That you ‘let go’ and run rampant in your imagination. Forget about guilt and shouldn’t and that you are being all selfish and ungrateful.

It’s OK!

Remember, you only get one go on this planet and you really do want to make the the most of it. And for most of us, we spend that at work. So getting your job right is a big leverage on the rest of your life too.

So, this is your space to dream and thoughtfully consider what your life will be like, when you really are living your dream job.

Using the couple of sheets of paper, write on them what the perfect work day in your dream job would be like, in an ideal world. Do it quickly, use a real pen and write!

Be descriptive - using as many of your senses as you can. For example, what you hear, what you see, what your feelings are. Be as descriptive as you like from your waking up, to the very end of your day, step-by-step, hour-by-hour.
