Are you in the right job for you? As you become more aware of your choices, and find your calling, the answer to this question should become more and more obvious, as well as what the right job is and how to get there.

Essentially, you can tell if you’re in the actual right job for you (not just the right job for right now, but the one where you really belong) by whether you’re excited to go to work, and thinking of all the possibilities of what you can do today, or wishing you weren’t at work and thinking of how you can avoid what you should be doing. Once you’re at a job for more than a few weeks, one of those two possible feelings will become an obvious trend.

Your right job may not involve working for someone else. It may be writing books (or a blog, if enough people read it), or it could be owning and running a small restaurant, or a number of other things where you tend to be self-employed. It could even be something where you don’t get paid at all, provided that you can set up enough recurring income to take care of your needs.

The wrong job is draining, in all aspects of your self. It makes you mentally tired, physically tired (and sometimes sick, if the fit is bad enough), emotionally drained, and spiritually worn out. The right job, however, energizes you. You enjoy it so much that you feel almost more like it’s a the reward to do the work, rather than just work to get a reward.

So step back, find your calling, and start working on getting the right job. Oh, and you’re unlikely to be in the right job if you haven’t figured out your calling, your purpose in life, yet. It’s very difficult to tell what the right job is without that information.
