Do you wake up each day excited about what’s ahead for you in that day or do you have to force yourself out of bed and drag yourself to work in a job that depletes you. Is there something in life that makes you come alive? Take a listen to this podcast as I introduce an opportunity that could help you move into that place of “coming alive.”
Welcome friends to my podcast Giving You a Fresh Start After Trauma. Trauma comes in many forms and being in a job that frustrates you and doesn’t fulfill your purpose can be very hard. I have something for you that would definitely help move you closer. Let’s get started.
“I’d Prefer to Read Your Message!”
As part of my Transform Your Trauma into Peace program, I have a segment that we go over what your purpose in life is. We all have been placed on this earth for a purpose. Our purpose doesn’t need to be a major entity like becoming someone famous, well-known or important. A calling could be a stay-at-home mom, a teacher, a Doctor or Lawyer, a writer or a number of other occupations.
But not living in our purpose or calling can definitely put a hinderance on our life and prevent us from enjoying it. There is nothing worse than being in a job that you hate to go to every day. I’ve been there.
When I lived in Miami, I was working for a National Recruiting Company, and I hated every minute of that job. I would force myself out the door each morning and as I drove towards the office foreboding feelings would come upon me. Then when I turned left onto 125th Street (I remember it vividly), great depression would envelope me. Ugh I struggled in that job.
Now the one good thing was that I recruited Salespeople in the medical industry. So, I recruited myself into a medical sales job. It was better but not the best. It was a job to get me out of the recruiting job, but it wasn’t a job that fit what I was called to do. I guess you could say it was a “rebound job.” You know almost like a “rebound relationship.”
It had bells and whistles like salary, commission and company car. I LOVED my sales manager, and she became a really nice friend. But the job wasn’t the place that I felt fulfilled or alive in.
How about you?
Are you in a place that you are not feeling fulfilled in? I love this quote from Howard Thurman.
“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” Howard Thurman
What are things that make you come alive? For me:
- Writing
- Ministering and encouraging woman (especially the younger woman)
- Helping young moms navigate being a mom
- Quilting
- Making beautiful gardens
Those are a few of the things I love and if I could do those all day, every day, it would fill my cup.
Sometimes the things we wish we could do are not necessarily a way to make enough provision to support ourselves or our family. Or we continue to stay at a job because we need to make a living. That is such a hard place to be.
I Have Much on My Heart to Write
Right now, I have about 9 book titles to create digital books that the Lord has put on my heart. I’m in the process of editing a second one but that all takes time and trying to make a living selling digital books is also a timely process as well knowing the unique marketing strategies.
So, as I considered my purpose and heart’s desire, I decided to take a path that will enable me to full that purpose. First, I needed to learn digital marketing and so I stepped onto that path. As I am in the process of learning digital marketing, I also can introduce others to this program to enable them to add additional income into their budget. (According to Forbes, digital marketing is the fasting growing in-demand skills.) … and age or lack of skills do not matter.
Is there something on your heart that really makes you come alive but getting started will take time and creating provision could take even longer?
Are you in a place where you are thinking of getting a second job or doing something to supplement your finances? Or does retirement seem far off because financially you are not there? Being in a hard place financially can enhance trauma in your life and the older we get the harder it can be to come out from under it.
Then this opportunity could be for you as well.
Yes, please I want to hear more!
No pressure and no commitment. Just an opportunity for something that thousands of people are turning to for help in the financial realm.
I would love to help you move to that place of feeling alive in what you do each day as it would be my joy for you.
Blessings, hope and love,
Your Spiritual Life & Health Coach … believing in you!
