Three Reasons to Love What You Do Before Doing What You Love

Three Reasons to Love What You Do Before Doing What You Love The following is a guest post by  Arman Sadeghi.  His bio follows.   Do what you love. Go after your dreams. Pursue your passions. Those are just some of the things we hear as young kids growing up. While many things change as we get older, this is one of those adages that never seem to change. The advice from everyone around us, including those who love us, the books we read, podcasts we listen to, and just about everyone who gives us advice, is to do what we love. However, before we take this advice and start applying it, let’s consider just a few things. For most people, “doing what they love” isn’t always the same in reality as it is in theory. One of the first things that happens when people pursue what they love as a career is the discovery that it isn’t that much different from the last thing they were doing. Within about a year or so after starting, most people end up having approximately the same level of happiness as they did when they doing what they didn’t love. In fact, study after study has shown that changing the circumstances in an individual’s life rarely results in a change in their level of happiness. What that means is that there is a particular order in which one must pursue happiness in work to produce the desired result. In this case, step one is to love who you are and what you do right now first, before undertaking step two, which is to go after all of your dreams and everything you have ever wanted. There are three very important reasons why this is the case: If You are Unhappy With What You do Now, You Will be Unhappy When You Make Your Dreams a Reality It has been shown that approximately one year after either winning the lottery or having a catastrophic, paralyzing accident, both people will go back to approximately the same level of happiness as they had in their lives prior. This fact points to one simple thing happiness is not determined by outside influences in the long term. It’s true that, in the short term, more money, an attractive mate, a better job, a sense of freedom, or something else could bring us happiness. But the human mind maintains a beautiful equilibrium, and we consistently go back to our equilibrium set point regardless of the outside influences. This is much like the thermostat on a heating and air conditioning unit. Regardless of the outside influences of the sun beating down or a blizzard blowing through, a thermostat can maintain the temperature inside a home. While in the short term, the sun may heat up the house slightly or the freezing winds may cool down the house, the thermostat will always kick in and bring us back to equilibrium. Therefore, to have a warmer or cooler house, it is not necessary to pray for more sun or snow. Instead, we must focus on finding the thermostat, learning how to use it, and changing our set point. Regardless of the outside influences, we can always get back to a newer, happier set point that will allow us to thrive. So in other words, before trying to do what you love, love what you do. This Used to be What You Loved It’s easy to look at what we are doing today that makes us unhappy or simply not happy enough, and think that changing it will make us happier. When people say, “follow your dreams” and “do what you love,” there is something inside of us that makes us believe there is something better out there. It reminds us of all the things we want to do that we are not doing. In that dreamy state of thinking about these things, our mind has a beautiful way of pushing away the negatives and hiding the potential reality of this new path, and instead only focusing on the positive. Like a teenager who wants to be a rock star, we think of our dreams. In that moment, we don’t remember that being a rockstar involves spending most of our lives on the road. There are many days and hours in busses, with long hours practicing and recording in a studio. We forget the pain of having our latest album and our life’s work scrutinized by the media, and even our own fans. We forget that even the best pieces of art are met with criticism and negativity. As we continue in our dream state, we don’t consider the reality of our potential new endeavors. Defining The Dream If you think long and hard enough at the things in your life that make you unhappy today or things that are simply not good enough, you will realize that many of these things used to be our dreams. For most people, their relationship is the easiest place to look. For just about everyone I know, the relationship they are in now at one point was a dream. But for some, that dream turns into a nightmare. It’s important to remember however that this used to be the dream. Therefore, as we close our eyes and dream about our next endeavor or our next mate, it’s important to remember that there is no guarantee this new dream won’t end up in the same place as the last dream unless we drastically change the way in which we do things. This means taking responsibility for our happiness, as opposed to thinking that outside influences are going to change things. Be happy with who you are and what you have and then pursue everything that you want. Be the Best Version of Yourself Now I have coached thousands of people in just about every aspect of life, but nothing has allowed me to see human beings for who they really are better than working as a business coach. When you work people and see the ins and outs of every aspect of how they run their business, you really get to know them and who they are as individuals. What I have observed is that most people in business who are struggling often are looking ahead at a time where they will be out of this current business. They often blame outside circumstances on the realities of their lives. Many blame the economy, their customers, their employees, the laws, and even God. Nevertheless, the most successful people in business take responsibility for the current status of their business, regardless of outside influences. They understand that they alone control the destiny of their business. While outside influences can attempt to change their reality, they are more powerful than any of these outside influences. Wherever you may be in life and whatever you may be doing, the key is to focus on being the best version of yourself today, taking whatever situation you are in, and focusing on growing as an individual so that you can be at your personal best. By learning to be at your personal best and not focusing on always running away from the current situation, your mind and body will be prepared to help you battle whatever comes your way in the future. Can You Be Happy Now? I have presented this content in front of thousands of people as a keynote speaker and to individuals on a one-on-one basis. In most cases, it is initially met with resistance because it goes against everything that we have been taught since we were young. However, I want you to think about it for just a moment and consider how your life would be if what I am saying is actually true. If what I am saying is true, doesn’t that mean that you don’t have to wait for all of your dreams to come true to be happy? Wouldn’t it be nice to be happy today? Wouldn’t it be nice to have all of the things you dream of and all of the feelings you wish to have today, without having to wait months and years? Focus on loving what you do and more importantly, loving who you are. Once you have accomplished this, get absolutely focused on everything that you want and pursue your dreams like nothing before. Now, I would never suggest that you should not follow your dreams. In fact, I think very strongly that everyone should follow their dreams. I simply feel that there is an order of operations to everything in life. When it comes to happiness, it is about loving who you are and what you have before pursuing everything that you have always wanted.

Preparing An Elementary Teacher Resume

Preparing An Elementary Teacher ResumeThere are certain things you should be on the lookout for when you prepare your elementary teacher resume. Some of these are critical, while others are of limited value.The first thing you need to be on the lookout for when preparing an elementary teacher resume is your name. This will be the first thing people will see and it is a good idea to ensure that your name is something that reflects you as a teacher and also your educational qualifications. As you can imagine, this can be difficult to do if you've never worked in the field.Your contact information should include your mailing address and phone number. Be sure to place it where the teachers will be able to easily find it. You should also make sure that they are able to reach you should they have any questions or problems. You should try to add a line to the end of your resume that states your work hours, the dates of the school year and any other important information related to the posit ion you are applying for. All this information should be included so that it is easy for you to be seen.Work experience is something that can be included on the resume, but it must be related to teaching. The school you attended will be the best place to provide evidence of this. However, it is not a must that you have completed a master's degree. Work experience is vital to your application, but you do not need to prove it by a document that is a part of your education.Something that is overlooked and which could cause a person to be passed over when it comes to the teacher applicant pool is the grade point average. The grade point average that you have received from a college or university will be used as a factor when it comes to judging your education and your potential. It is important to avoid your grade point average as this will also be used against you.You should also not try to use personal references when you prepare your teacher resumes. You should write down people who can relate to you and share similarities with you as a teacher. This will help to increase your chances of being seen as a good candidate. Make sure that the list you create does not have any names or other identifying features that will cause the person to pass you over. This is to ensure that your reference is a friend or relative and not a possible employer.A final point is to check what is commonly referred to as the 'resume example.' This is where you can take a look at a sample resume and compare it to what you already have written. Use this as a tool when preparing your own application. You should consider this a simple way to see how a person would see your application. It is a very powerful tool and it can be used to your advantage by showing potential employers exactly what you have to offer.There are other things that you should consider when preparing your elementary teacher resume. It is all up to you whether or not you use these tips. You should always focus on what is going to work for you, no matter what it is that you are trying to accomplish.

Micromanagement Magic How to Build a Happy Workforce for Your Business

Micromanagement Magic How to Build a Happy Workforce for Your Business Photo Credit â€" Flickr.comWe’ve all worked for someone at some point in our lives, and we all know what it’s like to have a boss who’s uncooperative and doesn’t listen to our suggestions.Managing your business is no different, and you shouldn’t become that boss who refuses to take suggestions from his employees.Loyalty is a big factor in building up an efficient and productive business. If your employees hate your guts, they won’t put in the extra work in keeping your company running smoothly and could even damage your reputation.evalMicromanagement is key to making your business run smoothly. Get involved with your employees, listen to their suggestions and concerns, and remember to speak to them regularly.1. Building a Relationship is Key to Employee LoyaltyPhoto Credit â€" Flickr.comYour employees are far less likely to leave or be upset at work if you’ve connected with them past the “professional” level. The effect grows when your business is a small one becaus e you’re more likely to interact with them on a daily basis.It’s understandable that in a business with thousands of workers, it’s almost impossible to get to know all of them, but you should still encourage people in positions of power to build relationships with their teams.Employees want to be understood. They want to feel like they have an influence on the company besides their daily duties and the best way to give them that feeling is to interact. Not everyone’s a natural leader, but there are places like Executive Coach International that specialise in nurturing executives.2. Don’t Hide Information from Your EmployeesPhoto Credit â€" Flickr.comBeing transparent is one of the most important decisions you can make for your business. Like mentioned before, employees want to feel like they are part of your company and that they have responsibilities.Don’t surprise them with decisions you’ve been planning for weeks, or lie to them about how much they are contributing. Make sure they know their place and show them that you are listening to them.Workers want to know the state of the company more than their own money problems. They want to know that a decision they made a week ago has positively affected the company, not just “good job, here’s a bonus”. But they also want to know if the company is doing badly, or if their decision wasn’t greatâ€"they need to take responsibility for their actions so they can feel like they are part of your business and not just a bystander.3. Create a Career Path for your EmployeesevalNo one wants to be stuck in the same job for a long period of time. Tell your employees what to expect in a few years time, and tell them what decisions they’ll be making in a higher up position. Give them the motivation to reach that goal.Give your employees opportunities to advance up their chosen career ladder. When you introduce them to your company, give them an idea of what they can expect if they work hard. Just the th ought of a promotion is enough to motivate your workers to put in extra work, but never lie to them and sell them false promises just to encourage them.

Do your work projects bring value to your career - Hallie Crawford

Do your work projects bring value to your career I was excited to be featured in this recent career article on the Work Reimagined website, How To Pick Projects That Will Boost Your Career. I wanted to share a couple of additional thoughts with you: 1) Diving into something new to boost your talent in your career, or beef up your skills, is also a good way to network. You can meet new people in the firm that you may not have, or clients youre working with who you havent interacted with before. This can increase your list of networking contacts in this new area of skill for you. 2) Remember to mention what you accomplished on new projects in your resume and on your LinkedIn profile. We often dont update our resume for years if weve been in the same position for a long time. Keep your resume fresh. Make a task to update it every 6 months so you dont forget anything. Updating your resume doesnt mean that you want to leave your job. You can also use these stories or examples in a performance review. It helps you remember to keep track of your performance. 3) Be willing to say No as well. If a project isnt going to directly boost your career and may end up being a drain on your time, say no and be confident with that decision! Realize your time is valuable and that you want to spend it on productive activities. If you’d like more help with your resume, contact us today for a complimentary consultation. Career Coach P.S.
