hi seriously sold my name is jackie
glazer and we are talking today about
jobs and about how do i know how do i
get clarity on which direction to put my
time my energy my focus my talents my
skills into like how do i do that in a
fulfilling way so that i can live life
on purpose
and one of the best
maps
that i've seen is written in the
hoverslavis which is the duties of the
heart it's a book written for
how our inner orientation should be
essentially spiritually
and one of the things it talks about
there is about how to get clarity on
your purpose it sort of draws three
circles so if you draw three circles
on a page and then i'm going to leave
you this with homework it talks about
really having a deeper sense of
self-reflection that it's really about
knowing yourself right
go to yourself is really the answer for
how to get clarity on your life purpose
rather than just like i'm going to just
travel around the world and hope that it
drops into my head some clarity from
somewhere which is what a lot of people
do
after
college in australia i'm not sure what
it's like here in america but a lot of
people do the ba the bachelor of
anything because they just hope that
some point they're going to get clarity
about what they should do so they're
going to do the bachelor of anything
which is what you do when you have no
clue what you should be doing but in
order to avoid that and i did that too
by the way but in order to avoid that um
it's better to have clarity now around
um who you are who you are and what
you're good at and and what direction
maybe you should be going in so
the first circle if you think of three
circles like this like this and like
this concentric circles and where they
overlap is a hint to where your life
purpose is the first circle is what are
you good at what are you naturally good
at ever since you were little you were
so good at xyz right if you ask your
aunt betty she'll tell you if you ask
other cousins and relatives and family
they'll tell you you're always so good
at this since you're a little girl right
there's something you're naturally
effortlessly good at it doesn't mean you
can't improve but it just means that
you've had this ability and one of the
ways you know about it is because other
people come to you for advice in these
areas right not just professionally
personally also so let's say you're a
good listener so you get people coming
to you for
just wanting to to talk to you and you
and you just listen to them and you give
them good advice right let's say um
you're a detailed person so you're very
good at details and and organizing
things so people come to you for help
with that right let's say you you could
have all sorts of different skills
events putting on events being creative
artistic people ask you to do the design
elements of different things
just see what have you been naturally
drawn to that you're really good at
effortlessly
there's every single person is giving
skill sets that they're really good at
effortlessly
and that's the first circle so start to
think about and write down
what you're good at naturally and if
you're not sure check it out with your
family okay these are skill sets general
skill sets
people person you know detail person
builder fixer troubleshooter problem
solver these types of things right the
other circle is next to it is what
inspires you what do you actually enjoy
so you can be good at something and not
enjoy it and you can enjoy something and
not be good at it it's something you
actually enjoy something that gives you
energy rather than you being drained of
energy right so what types of things do
you feel really like on a high about or
inspired or it feels effortless to do it
because you enjoy it so much
those kinds of things right so start to
make a list now
of these kinds of things of like what am
i naturally
inspired by what gives me energy
for example i might love art but i am
not good at it at all so i could enjoy
it but i'm not good at it or i could be
good at let's say event planning but and
i'll do it for a friend or so but
personally it drains me whereas i have
other event planners who get inspired by
event planning they feel it's creative
so they get energy from it so you have
to know for yourself
what gives you energy and what inspires
you and what you're naturally good at so
those two things are key right as far as
like a pointer towards your life purpose
and job and career aspirations the third
one is what's up what opportunities come
your way so the bottom circle what
opportunities come your way which door
is open for you in life and which doors
close that's a divine providence a
divine
interaction of which direction you're
meant to go in is which door is open
once you've tried to to get in and which
doors don't no matter what you do they
just won't open right so that could be
also a hint and a clue
not only do you look at which doors open
and close but that third circle contains
what does the community need around you
so looking around your particular world
where you're living with your neighbors
and your family and your community maybe
your school maybe your employ place of
employment
what
does the world around you need like what
what is necessary and what is needed and
when you look around and look at what's
needed and then you see that you have
the skill sets to be able to provide
what's needed and you really really
enjoy it
there is no greater feeling in the world
than that clarity of that fit of like
what i'm good at what i enjoy and then
what the world around me needs there's a
deepest sense of fulfillment that comes
from that place and that's usually a
hint to something you're meant to be
doing as an expression in a job or a
career
sometimes jobs are just a means to an
end and you need to do it just to get
the money so that you can then pursue
what you love to do so that different
times in life where with our job we
actually do need to um do jobs we don't
like so it's okay if you're in a job you
don't like however in the bigger more
macro picture when we're reflecting on
who we are and what direction to go in
this is the kind of direction so for
homework i want you to draw these three
circles and i want you to get really
really clear in the more detailed the
more specific the better for you because
it's going to inform all your decisions
and help you to live a life on purpose
tag samaya and may this year bring only
sweetness blessing and reveal goodness
for everyone
[Music]
