What's the BIG secret?

It feels good to be back at Blogging this week. I took a week off as a refresher; taking time to reflect on the transition taking place in my life. It is my understanding that to be rooted in your convictions requires discovery of what you're searching for.........reaching for.......fighting for.

As a career consultant, I'm always drafting quotes and inspiring reminders to assist my clients in their journeys of finding fulfillment in their work. The quote for today is: Carry yourself in the realms of success; when the doors begin to open you'll be confident enough to walk through-SychronProfession.

How many doors have opened for you? Did you walk through? Did you close them out of fear of the unknown? Are you willing to take the chance to believe in what has yet to be revealed?

There's a balance that must be acheived in maintaining financial security and identifying what comes natural to us professionally. It is unreasonable to think that we can walk through a door with our eyes wide shut and neglect our responsibilities in the name of following our dreams. The wider the door opens the clearer our approach becomes to what lies ahead. Flexibility and adaptability in an uncertain world are a real tribute to our survival skills. We make a way out of no way for the sake of our families, friends and companies. Yet, through it all, we neglect ourselves and discover that we are less fulfilled than we imagined we would be.

I can recall times that I talked myself out of opportunities providing a myriad of excuses as to why this isn't for me....not the right time for me....not conducive to my personality etc. Needing to be sure about the cost/benefit of opening the door is self defeating. We will never know what's on the other side if we don't believe that we are already successful. To me, success starts within and can only be seen in our lives with dedication, commitment and an undying passion of serving others. When we acheive this we will not only notice abundance in our quality of life; our bank accounts will see an increase too!

The next time you feel that there is a secret to sucess; just look within......
