If you are here because you are in a position where you are not sure if your job or field of study is right for you and you want to know the signs that will let you know for sure…

Also if you’re wondering if you’ve found your life purpose then…

You are in the right place!

I will be sharing with you the 3 major signs that your job is not meant for you.

And in fact you may already be aware of these signs but you’re just avoiding them.

Don’t ignore the signs! Avoiding them will push you further away from your life purpose!

BTW, these are not in any particular order!

Sign #1:

lack of motivation:

If you constantly feel lazy or unmotivated to go to work, then most likely the job is not meant for you. You may be saying to yourself I’m just lazy in general or everyone is lazy when they have to go to work. Yeah, we get lazy here and there but if you see yourself not wanting to go to work everyday then thats a very clear sign!

If you are working a job or in the process of pursuing a specific career by going to school, if this was really your dream or if this was really something that was meant for you then you should feel excited to go to work/school. It should feel right in every single part of your body. You should be happy every time you wake up because you know your doing something you love. If you were working your dream job then that should be something that keeps you up at night because its something that makes you feel excited about life.

For example, I’ll share my personal experience with trying to find my life purpose/ dream job…

I was going to college for film & tv where I wanted to pursue becoming a t.v editor. For a long time I was certain that this was my dream because I’ve thought about it since I was younger.

At first going to school was fun. I was excited to go to school everyday. But as time went on I started to loose interest. However, I didn’t want to admit it or believe it because I already gave it too much thought, energy and money into the program. I forced my self to keep believing that this was meant for me because I didn’t want all of it to go to waste.

I did and said everything I can to convince my self that this was the right path. But my heart already knew I wasn’t happy and I naturally started to feel sad and unmotivated…

Until I started to find what my other passions were. I started to write again and eventually started a blog.

When I tell you the difference between these two things and how different they made me feel… WOW!

With writing and working on my blog, I couldn’t sleep. I wanted to write all day long and was constantly thinking of ideas. I would want to wake up early to write. I wouldn’t force my self to work or wake up, I just did because I wanted to because it makes me happy. I was naturally motivated to do this. I think about blogging 24/7.

And thats how I figured it out! and now I’m finally happy again and finally feel like I am on the right path!

Sign #2:

Dreaming About A Different job:

If you catch yourself at times thinking or day dreaming about doing a different job or dreaming about a different life…

Then most likely your current job is not meant for you.

For example, while working have you ever had a gut feeling or kept hearing a clear message in your head that you are meant to be doing something else or that you’re suppose to be doing something bigger…

Trust me, I’ve experienced that and it was a very clear sign that has helped me move on to another path.

If you were working your dream job then you wouldn’t wish to be doing something else or wish to be living a different life because you already got your dream. You’re already doing something you truly love so there’s nothing else you need to wish for.

When working your dream job, the only thing you focus on and think about is your job and how you can do better or how you can accomplish bigger things with your job. Thats it! Not ” oh but I can be doing this or I can be doing that” or ” but my life would be better if I was doing this or if I was doing that”.

Sometimes we pursue careers that we think is our dream because its the only thing we think we would be good at or be successful in. We often go for the things that are the most convenient because we are too afraid to go for something we think we are not good enough for because of what society tell us.

But, in reality go for the big dream. Go for the bigger things. Even if people are saying you won’t make it, most likely you will because that’s what your heart truly wants. If your passionate about what you do and feel happy when doing it and if you are naturally good at it, nothing will go wrong.

For example, maybe you wanted to start and grow a business. This was something you dreamed about for a long time and you really see yourself being successful in it because you have a lot of ideas. However, people or t.v or other business owners or society in general gets in your head. They keep making you think that it will be hard and that you will most likely fail and so you believe them.

You start to believe you are not good enough to start a business even though every part of your body truly knows you will be good at it and…

SO you try to forget that dream and go for another passion/ job.

Then you end up with a career that doesn’t feel right and then start to wish you were a business owner instead.

Don’t let people think you’re not good enough for something. Most importantly, don’t tell YOURSELF you are not good enough.

Life is too short to settle for less.

Find your natural talents, the gifts that you have that doesn’t allow you to force yourself to be good at something because your already naturally good at it and then find a way to make a career from it!!

Which is not something that is going to be easy. You most likely will expereince pursuing many different interests/paths before you find the perfect one for you! Just don’t give up because the more you explore the closer you will get to finding your life purpose.

Sign #3:

Having to force yourself to be great.

Do you see yourself having to force yourself to come up with ideas for your job?

Do you constantly need to force the creativity or any skill out of you?

Then most likely the job is not meant for you.

When working your dream job/ the job that is meant for you/ your life purpose, the ideas should flow through you. You should come up with ideas easily because simply this job is meant for you.

If it’s meant for you then you can be yourself and be naturally good at what you do because this is your life purpose.

NOT saying to stop trying to pursue a job because your not good at it. Nobody’s perfect! We need to constantly work on ourselves and learn to become better.

HOWEVER, if EVERYDAY you feel sad because you feel out of your element because you need to try so hard. Don’t feel bad. IN FACT, YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH! You are just working a job that is not matching up with your talented self.

Everyone has their own natural gifts and talents. These are the things we are naturally good at and things that naturally makes us happy.

If were doing a job that doesn’t allow us to use those natural gifts and talents then is this job really meant for us?

All of us is good at something whether you believe it or not. Everyone has a special skill.

There is a job out there that is specifically for you and its going to be the job that is going to make you so happy because you can be yourself and successful at the same time.

Why waste our time and energy into a job where we can’t even be ourselves and where we can’t even use our natural special gifts and talents.

You have so much more to give to the world. You can possibly make a difference. Don’t change yourselves and force yourselves to have skills people want you to have.

You have your own set of skills that you are naturally good at. Skills that makes you unique because you don’t even have to try but yet your amazing with it.

Bring these special skills to a job that needs them.

You may be the person they have been looking for or have been needing and on the plus side you’ll be 100% happier because you will feel like yourself, you will feel like your in the right place and feel so incredibly special because your natural gifts and talents are finally being used and appreciated.

and AGAIN, you are good at something 100%. You just don’t see it yet. So take time to find those hidden natural talents and put them into use!
