It's YOUR choice!

IN A NUTSHELL...

A simple truth is that if you hate what you are doing - and would love to be doing something else - most of the time you DO have a choice to change direction. 


A TRUE STORY

I was introducing myself to the person on the adjacent exhibition stand at Earls Court Arena in London.


"Hi! How's it going...?" was all I said .


(The answer below inspired the creation of this website...)


"I've just left  uni and now I'm lost!

Life is so confusing!

We don't know whether to get a job now, or continue studying, or go travelling.

It was so much easier in our parents day.

They got their qualifications, got a job, got married, got a house, got a career.

Now there's just too much choice, it's terrible!"


If your immediate reaction is "That's me!"  - read on and be encouraged!

This section is dedicated to all those readers who are struggling with doing - or being about to do - something they either hate or know deep inside is wrong for them. This is often because someone else expects it of them. 


It's all about a conflict of values i.e. what really matters to you, deep down, and what this next job is about.


This inner struggle is often about:

"I must do this because... but I don't want to!"

"I should do this because... but I don't want to!"

"I want to do this BUT... "
