Career paths

Came across this little gem on linked in today - Perhaps this is what I need to do:

When you’re faced with alternative career paths, develop your own CPS – Career Positioning System – the features of which should include:
  • Options: You always have options. Write them down, record them, listen to them, say them in the mirror, let them live and breathe until you make the decision. Then, forever surrender the road you don’t take.
  • Decisiveness: If you don’t make a decision, someone else will make it for you. Why not be active in your own rescue?
  • Wisdom: Seek an unbiased advisor who is a fount of knowledge and experience and whose perspective is not clouded by your fear, ego, or enthusiasm. He or she can help you shape the questions that will reveal to you the most authentic road to take.
  • Model: Model success. Have acute sensitivity to others who have made similar choices and analyze their successes and outcomes.
  • Gaps: Create a gap in the process, whether it’s sleeping on it, meditation or taking a hike in nature. This pattern interrupt will allow your subconscious, intuitive mind to help inform your decision.
