Find Your Passion


6 Phases of Being Employed at a Stressful job


Phase 1  
You are listening to jazz -- Your first day at work is great. Your fellow co-workers are wonderful, your office is cute, you love your agents, and your manager is the best!


Phase 2
 
You are listening to pop music --
After a while you are so busy that you are not sure if you're coming or going anymore.

Phase 3

 
You are listening to heavy metal --
This is what you feel like after ONE month.

 Phase 4

 
You are listening to hip hop --
You become bloated due to stress, you're gaining weight due to lack of exercise because you are so tired and have so much work to do and, when you do get home, you feel sluggish and suffer from constipation. Your fellow co-workers are too cheerful for your liking, your family doesn't understand a word you say and the walls of your office are closing in.

Phase 5

 
You are listening to GANGSTA RAP --
After more time passes, your eyes start to twitch and you forget what a 'good hair day' feels like as you just fall out of bed and load up on caffeine.

Phase 6


Y
ou are listening to the voices in your head --
You have locked your office door to keep people out. You wonder WHY you are even here in the first place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Moral of the story, find something you can be passionate about then love what you do.

Extremely Powerful Steps To Get What You Want by Michael Lee

"If you fail to plan, you're planning to fail."

STEP 4 - PLAN YOUR WAY TO SUCCESS

The planning phase is very important in organizing your thoughts to carry out the desired effects.

You might say that this is boring stuff, but you should never underestimate this process. This is like a guideline to steer you into the right direction.

Your plan will be your road map. Spend enough time to ponder through the different approaches and choose the best one to implement.

It will be best if you choose a quiet place to make your plan. Your mind can focus and think more clearly this way.

Evaluate all the pros & cons. Assess how much time, money, & other resources you have to impart or sacrifice in order to fulfill your desires.

Let your goal guide you to choose the best plan to implement. Let the image of your visualization inspire & motivate you to make a plan that will produce the desired results.

Every individual has his own unique perception of a well-made plan. There are no specific rules in making it. But in case you're in a tight situation, let me give you some tips.

1) Write down your objective. This is a precise definition of your target.

2) Brainstorm the strategies & tactics you will employ to accomplish your objective.

3) Assess the advantages & disadvantages of carrying out those strategies & choose those tactics where the pros outweigh the cons.

4) Set a timeline or deadline in completing your mission.

5) Make modifications & back-up plans in case Plan A doesn't work.

6) As your plan evolves, you will gain experience. Learn from your mistakes.

Hey, to make this more fun, you could imagine being a top secret agent with "an impossible mission." In everything you do, try to mix up some fun & excitement to motivate you further.
