My answer to a reader who expresses what many people feel when finally taking the plunge and quitting their job. Dear Carol I am a huge believer in the law of attraction and synchronicity; I have recently quit my job because it was absolutely eating at my soul. In discussing life with so many different people over the years, I think my problem is more common than not. I just quit "Corporate America" at a bank where 9 out of 10 hated their work but continued being miserable everyday. The negative energy of the work itself and the environment was pulling me down with it. I know so many people that are not living with their authentic selves out of fear of what they would do next. I have taken a blind jump into the universal flow, and can definitely see the frightening aspects of it.
Congratulate yourself for making a good decision. Don't look back,
I feel free and happy again, but broke.
Don't describe yourself as broke--not a good message for Law of Attraction to match.
I am 30 years old and feel very lost and want so badly to find my purpose and make a difference.
You make a difference everyday by the way you are with the people in your life and the people you meet in everyday transactions. I think it's better not to draw a line and make Life Purpose so weighty and all about a JOB or CAREER (as you know from my writing.) Get a job for now so you don't feel scared or can't pay your bills. Find something different and relaxing--heck, you could work in a 7 11 store for six months--until you feel drawn to make a more definitive choice (such as maybe going back to school.)
I have read your book about the purpose of life, and James Redfields whole series of books. Is patience all I am lacking? For an understanding of your nature, I think the Primary Life Chart will throw some light.
All the best--and don't forget to use the metaphysical wisdom you have learned--write down your ideal job (the conditions, kind of people, commute time, salary, what types of activities you enjoy and match your talents) Your list is your intention. Stay happy--and tell a good story to people, such as "I'm exploring new options." "I'm looking around for a good fit for me." etc.
Her response: Thank you so much for responding. You have made very good points and I will use them.
I, like many others, have defined myself by my career. I guess after putting so many years and money into schooling, the focus remains fixated on the goal of attaining that success I have been working towards. I will focus on my fortune of a wonderful husband and an exciting next chapter to my life. CD
