Whom Are YOU Trying to Please?
Are you trying to please Mom? Dad? Spouse? Friend? Grandma?
You may think this is a strange question. It can be a subconscious and hidden revelation that's not even recognized, but for many folks in search of a career it plays a big part in the decision making process.
Truth is.... YOU are the only one who needs to be 'pleased' when it comes to deciding on your career choice. No one else matters! If that sounds harsh, reality tells us no one has a right to 'control' another persons future.
many Dads' get caught up in their own shortcomings. It can be your Mom or Spouse, maybe just a close friend.... even the "grands" want to put in their 2 cents worth. Some parents played sports in school and want to see their children follow the same route. You see it on the ball fields - football - baseball - soccer - basketball - and more.
Don't get persuaded to seek a career path because.... someone you love and respect wants to influence your chosen life's work based on something they missed in their own career choice. YOU are the KEY player in this picture and it's important that you "snap" the right picture.
It's not your responsibility or obligation to meet peer pressures, society pressures, or any other pressures from the outside. let your own personality rise to meet the demands from within yourself.
Never let Dad's or Mom's career choice dictate your own. Too many Preachers, Doctors, Lawyers, Business Executives and others are the result of following in the footsteps of their parents or grandparents. A bad idea UNLESS it is YOUR chosen field of influence and persuasion.
Deep conflicts come from accepting the path of least resistance. Yes, it may be a real challenge to choose your own path, but nothing in your future is more important when it comes to happiness in your work and family life. Lotsof good feelings will arise when it's your choice, not those of anyone else.
One final thought - it may seem selfish to you, ruling out the desires of your family members who want you to follow in their foot-steps. Failure to make your own choice will have you working in a position you do not like or enjoy and in the end it will be a disappointment for those you wanted to please inthe first place.
Kids Yoga MatWedding Minister Bringing People Together
As a wedding minister bringing people together in holy matrimony is one of the most rewarding things I could ever do. When two people willfully decide to commit their ongoing love one to another, it establishes a deep covenantal and unbreakable bond.
marriage provides the perfect context to grow individually and together. As you give and receive unconditional love, you become increasingly secure and strong as a person. Trust and transparency grow over time as you celebrate the joys and share life's sorrows together.
Recently I officiated a wedding in Central florida for a Japanese bride and an American groom who met at walt Disney World. They first laid eyes on one another at It's a Small world, the unforgettable ride that separates the cultural divide. This magical moment led to them taking a journey together on Peter Pan's flight.
Truly the world is all interconnected and interrelated. This couple's love for one another attests to that and further joins East and West together in perfect harmony. The groom popped the question to his bride-to-be on the 4th of July, a surprise engagement with fireworks and people celebrating. It was a small taste of what their lives will be together forever.
Such is what matrimony is all about. The coming together of two vastly unique individuals to become one is magical and wonderful. I as a wedding minister could have no greater pleasure or honor than to seal the deal, tie the knot, and wholeheartedly celebrate the love two have got.
Love is the true meaning and essence of life.
