Being Inspired is Your Answer
by Deborah Brown-Volkman, contributing columnist

Many people I speak with are looking for that magic formula, the recipe that will transform their careers. The truth is they will never find what they are looking
for. The reason is they are looking outward, when the answer is within.

I've seen many individuals create amazing careers. Even in this job market, when they are told there are no jobs, they are still securing positions that they love. How are they doing it? They are inspired.

Inspiration is that almighty force that arises from the inside. It lights you up, and gives you more power that you ever expected. Think about a time in your career when you were excited and energized because everything was going your way. Can you imagine being able to apply that feeling to where you are today?

What Will You Do Differently If You Are Inspired?

1. You Will Call The Person You've Been Afraid To Call

You will find yourself picking up the telephone and
having conversations with people that get them excited.
You will be able to articulate exactly what you want,
and be amazed as the person on the other end extends
a hand to help you.

2. You Will Send The E-Mail You've Been Afraid Of Sending

You will stop telling yourself that people are too
overwhelmed to read your e-mail. You will write e-mail
that inspires people to take action, and they will.
Your creativity will be at its height, and your words
will flow easily.

3.You Will Send The Letters You've Been Afraid To Send

You will find yourself buying the finest paper so your
words can stand out. You will find the addresses of the
people you want to contact effortlessly. The people to
whom you write will read your letters because they will
want to know more about the passionate person who wrote
them.

4. You Will Meet The People You've Been Afraid To Meet

You will get out and network with the people you have
been staying away from. You will find yourself
describing what you want eloquently and the people you
speak with will understand you and refer you to someone
who can assist you. You will enjoy yourself and be
comfortable in the surroundings of people you do not
know. People will want to know who you are, and your
magnetism will be the catalyst that creates the
relationship.

5. You Will Have The Conversations You've Been Afraid
To Have

You will speak to the people in your life and ask for
the support you need to move forward. You will
apologize and take responsibility for expecting them
to read your mind. You will acknowledge them for the
gift they have been in your life. You will tell them
what you want and why it is important that you receive
it from them. They will appreciate your honesty and
provide you with the assistance you need.

6. You Will Conquer Your Fears

And, your life will never be the same.

So, how do you get inspired? You put your disappointments behind you because you realize how much they are holding you back. You recognize that your career gets better when you make it better. You write down your vision on a piece of paper, and you look at it every day. Then, you put a plan in place to get it.

A great career does not only happen to other people. It can happen to you.

So what do you say? You only have one life to live so it might as well be a life you love!
