Awesome Career or Dharma Questions to Ask Yourself

 I love to work.  I won't bore you with the astrological details of my Saturn (hard work) being conjunct my Venus (love) in my second house of money, but that creates a person that would probably choose to work over eating, sleeping, playing and just about everything else.  Work is play.  I guess that explains my entrepreneurial skills and my enthusiasm for building yoga centers, websites and creating workshops and products.

Another thing that I have tapped into that supports all of this is the ability to embrace uncertainty.  If you could relax into the uncertainty of changing jobs or launching your own career, you would find that the whole world colludes for your success.  Relaxing into uncertainty is a practice.  You can begin this practice by envisioning your dream job that is connected to your Dharma or life's purpose.  When you can combine your passion for work, need to achieve success, and desire for income with helping and serving, you have a slam dunk recipe for passionate work.

Think about the following questions:

  • If you had all the money and time in the world making those two things irrelevant, what career would you choose?
  • Today, how can you help and serve another?
  • What skills do you possess that are unique and set you apart from others?
  • What did you want to be when you grew up and how has that changed?  Has it changed?
  • What is your biggest material desire and why?  How will you feel when you receive that desire?  How will your life be different than it is today?
  • Who do you admire and why?  How can you cultivate that quality within yourself?
  • What is your biggest obstacle stopping you from having the career you desire?  What small thing can you do today to begin to move that obstacle?

Manifesting your dream job isn't really that hard.  I think the hardest part is simply giving yourself permission to dream.

Om Shanti,  Pamela
