Are you making all of your career decisions based on where you are today, or where you want to be tomorrow?

It is sometimes difficult to have a rosy outlook for the future when you do not know what the future will bring. But, if you allow a disappointing situation in your career to shape your future plans, you will miss out on the opportunity to create a better tomorrow.

THE WEEKLY ACTION CHALLENGE

For a moment, set aside today's struggles, and ask yourself: WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO ME? Then, write down a short-term plan (six months at most) that is based on your priorities, and not on a problem you are facing today. You may accomplish your plan or you may not. What matters is you are considering your future with confidence, and working towards what you really want in your career.

So, what do you say? You only have one life to live, so it might as well be a life you love!

HOW DID YOU DO?

If you followed this week's action tip, or it made a difference in your life, I would like to know. Please send your story in an email to info@surpassyourdreams.com

Each week, one lucky individual will win a free copy of my e-book "Living a Life You Love! The Pathway to Personal Freedom" for their contribution.

This week winner is Crystal who wrote in to say:

"Wow! Your tip: Appreciate The Waiting Process, could not have come at a better time. I have been working on completing my degree while working full-time. It seems to be dragging, so I was looking at my previous and current calendars admiring what I have accomplished, but wishing I were further. Not having the degree has held me back on a few job openings, but I know that everything happens for a reason and all the rejections are just forcing me to wait until the right one comes along. Persistence does pay off, but being patient while waiting makes it all more bearable. Thanks for sending the tip and confirming that I should just relax and be patient because it will be here sooner than I think!"

Congratulations to you Crystal!

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
