Remember when I said that thee should not take just any job.
Well, several readers contacted me to tell me stories about how leaping into a new job that looked really great wound up putting them in deep doo doo.
So, if taking a just-any-job is a mistake … what IS one to do?
Get picky.
Start looking for work that fits with your Mission from God.
How to do that?
It’s simple … but not necessarily easy.
According to Richard Nelson Bolles, author of the best-selling What Color Is Your Parachute, you need to answer 3 key questions:
- What talents (Gifts) has God called me to exercise?
- Where do I yearn to exercise those talents?
- For what Purpose does God most need to have this done?
Now, some people would argue that the idea of having an inborn Talent or Gift is a myth (you know who you are, SD!). I don’t agree. I believe. I know. I grok the fact that we are in fact given Gifts from God.
In his first letter to the Christian congregation at Corinth, the Apostle Paul said:
“But, I wish all men were as I myself am. Nevertheless, each one has his own gift from god, one in this way, another in that way.”
These Spirit Given Gifts were originally meant to be exercised within the Christian congregations. Now, though 2 centuries later, I believe they are meant to be exercised, used, applied, throughout the World of Man.
And, you may be asking, “But, how do I identify my talents ,my Gifts?”
Good question.
Good news!
There are ways.
And, over the next few days I’ll share those ways with you.
