What Career Field Is Best For You?

Choosing a career is one of the hardest decisions you will ever have to make. The reason it is so challenging is because this decision will stay with you for a long time and it takes a lot of work to prepare for any career. This choice needs to be made in the first year or two of college if you choose to attend or in your early twenties for most people. It is important to research and explore a bunch of different careers so that you can find the one that is a good fit for you. Once you make a decision about which career you want to have then you have to start working towards that career with college or training of some sort and this takes time. The fact that it takes so much time to get a career going is why the decision of which career you want to begin is so important.

There are a few ways to help people who are unsure about which career they want to pursue. There are personality tests that can tell you if you have an artistic, logical, dominant, or other type of personality and which job is a best fit for your personality. These tests can be taken at a psychologists office or at a number of employment offices prior to enrolling in technical schools or afterwards. The tests can also be found online, although they might not be as legitimate as one at a psychologists office.

It is important to answer all questions honestly and naturally on the personality test because the test is going to match your personality with a job that is appropriate for your personality. If you do not answer all of the questions honestly you might get paired with a job that is not right for you at all. Another test that is popular when trying to find a career path that is right for you is aptitude tests. Aptitude tests tell you whether or not you are capable mentally and possibly physically of performing a job. You can take an aptitude test to test your knowledge of the career field that you are thinking about choosing. Employers might ask you to take an aptitude test before they hire you for a specific job, which is another reason it is important to learn and prepare for a career that you want to pursue.

Choosing a career is a tough but exciting decision that everyone has to make. Luckily there are a few tests we can take to help give us an idea of what we want to do with the rest of our life. If you already know what you want to do, there's a good chance you can find a school tailored to your specific program. For example, if you're interested in dental hygiene you could look for dental hygiene schools in California. Enrolling in one of these schools gives you a better chance of getting an education which will be perfect for the area you're interested in.

Changes.

I know that for many of us, January is a pivotal month. Whether we call them resolutions, promises, initiatives or some other name, it all boils down to the fact that we are planning to start the year by making changes to one or more aspects of our lives. We determine to quit bad habits, acquire good habits, eat less, save more, etc. You know the drill. Unfortunately, these are the types of superficial changes that mask the real changes that need to take place in our lives.

I am referring to profound changes in the way we perceive our experiences, and how those changes can be processed and filtered to improve our relationships with Self and others. Making these kinds of changes requires a huge effort that often takes us far beyond our respective comfort zones.

If we change our way of thinking, we can change our way of seeing. And when we change our perspective on things, Grace follows.

However, until you feel good about yourself by making some internal changes, you won't achieve lasting results with the external changes you make in your life.

Internal Change

Start by taking baby steps toward making internal changes in your relationship with Self.

You are probably familiar with the saying "don't sweat the small stuff." Overall, that's pretty good advice. Sometimes, however, the small stuff is not so small, and we really must address (or "sweat") it, in order to get rid of it and make room for the blessings.

One way to get rid of that small stuff is to add prayer and meditation to your day. This suggestion is not just for religious people, but for spiritual people, as well. It has been said that prayer is simply us talking to God, while meditation is listening to God in the silence.

It is difficult to silence our minds, especially in the early stages of meditation (and sometimes even in the latter stages), so don't try to suppress the thoughts that come up. Just let them pass through your mind. Imagine yourself waiting for traffic to slow down so that you can cross the road. Eventually, there will be a break in the traffic and you will be able to cross. There is an old saying that goes something like this: Trying to control the thoughts in your mind during meditation is like wrestling with a pig in the mud. Two things are accomplished: first, you get dirty; and second, the pig likes it.

I encourage you to start your day with 10 minutes spent in prayer and silence. A carpenter would not start a job without his tools, so why would you start your day without yours? In the silence, we connect to our innermost Self; our heart. The prophets and great teachers have told us that the heart is the place where we can find our true nature.

External Changes

Our lives are made up of a series of routines that are sometimes so ingrained that we no longer recognize them as routines. They are simply there as a part of our daily lives. That's why changing a routine might require some real thought and consideration.

But once you identify those routines, it is fairly easy to make changes to some of them. You could switch the order in which you shave and shower. Brush your teeth before you wash your face or vice versa. Dress yourself by putting on sock, shoe, sock, shoe, instead of sock, sock, shoe, shoe. Order takeout on a different evening. Go grocery shopping at night, instead of during the day. Take a different route to work, or use a different mode of transportation.

The possibilities for change to your routine are endless.

But it does not really matter what routine you change. What matters is that you do something . . . anything . . . differently, and that you notice how it feels, the new things you see, the new people you encounter, etc. Take it all in and really feel the difference that a change in routine can make in your life.

I ask that you take some negative event that has happened in your life and review it. I mean all of it.

I'll give you a short example taken from my life. My parents died within six months of each other: first my Dad when I was 15; then my Mom when I was 16. Both my parents died of cirrhosis of the liver. Because they each suffered from the progressive disease of alcoholism, they had been incapable of taking proper care of me for quite a while. Later in life, when I was able to look at the bigger picture, I was able to see that the need to fend for myself at such an early age led to me developing into the person I ultimately became.

I did not (or felt that I could not) rely on others. I went out and did things for myself. I worked very hard to accomplish my goals because I knew there was no one (or so I thought at the time) to help me. At the same time, I went out of my way to help others who were in similar situations. This is a huge positive that came out of a negative experience early in life.

I ask you to try and look beyond the hurt or resentment of any one experience. Try to pull back and look at the big picture to see how the situation has made you a better person. You will find something positive there. Believe me. Everything happens for a purpose.

Step Outside Your Comfort Zone

I ask you to embrace another change in perspective, and I am guessing that this will be a tougher challenge.

We all have people in our lives that we just automatically pre-judge, often for no concrete reason. Inevitably, these folks end up on a list of people we don't really care for, even though we have not really taken the time to get to know them or find out what makes them tick. But who are these people really? What are they like? Why do they rub us the wrong way? Why do we have such a visceral reaction to them?

Getting the answers to these questions could very well require us to step outside of our respective comfort zones. And believe me when I say that I know what a tremendous challenge it is to step outside the comfort zone. But I promise you that the trip will be worth every bit of discomfort and angst you may feel.

I believe that there are no coincidences. Every person in your life is there for a purpose; they have something to offer you. I challenge you to pick someone on your list and make it your business to learn something about them and really absorb it. Then determine how what you have learned impacts your life. I guarantee that what you learn will in some way change your perspective on that individual.

I hope you have picked up some valuable insights related to change that will assist you as you make your way on your life journey. The exercises I suggested will bring you closer to discovering the secret of being human. May you feel the presence of The Divine Mother, Heavenly Father, and Friend Beloved God walking beside you on this journey every moment.

The Law of Subtraction

We live in a world where bigger is better and more is all the rage. When we are trying to get the life we want, it often involves adding something new: a new routine to lose weight, exercising more, taking a class or starting a new activity. Also, we are always looking for more time–most of us want to spend more time with our friends and family. Lately, we have heard many promises that if you just put out the intent, then it will all happen for you. In our business we have found that this simply is not true for most of our clients. Our clients’ lives are so packed full already that adding just one or two more things in to the mix or the thought of adding anything else is just too overwhelming. Simply willing something you would like to happen is not enough.

We live in a high pressured, busy, success driven, in search of perfection and not excellence type of world. Often you can’t get what you really want because your current lifestyle is so jam-packed with things you don’t want, that there is just no room for anything else.

So before you contemplate adding anything else in your life, practice the law of subtraction. Remember, when you say “yes” to something you have to say “no” to something else. So let’s say “no” to some things, so we have the space to say “yes” to things we want.

You can do this in many ways:

1) If your boss is piling more tasks on an already full plate – ask what could get postponed or handed off to someone else.

2) If you are making impromptu purchases of clothing, furniture and accessories – ask yourself what you are going to let go of that you already own.

3) If you start worrying about a future event – ask yourself what nice things you won’t have time to think about as a result of this worrying. Are you willing to give up those nice thoughts for something that may not happen, alter your mood and cause frustration?

4) You stop spending time with toxic people who don’t make you feel good and find more time to spend with the friends that empower you and make you feel great.

5) You no longer do your children’s laundry or pack their lunches and have more time to do the things you would like to around your home.

6) You spend less time sitting in front of the TV or your computer and you find the time to get moving and do some exercise.

7) You say no to extra volunteer activities and have more time for activities with your partner.

You don't always have to say "yes", even if it is something that you feel you are obligated to do. Saying "no" makes room for the things that matter most in life. Practice the Law of Subtraction and less can actually make you happier and healthier.

Money Making Ideas For Kids That Are Easy by: Derrick Janson

One valuable lesson that kids should learn is that they need to earn their own money and some simple money making ideas for kids can aid you in teaching this. As a parent you are probably aware that kids constantly want things and ask for you to spend money on them. It really does not matter the age anymore and if you want your kids to have these things that they want then it is also important that you teach them the responsibilities that come along with it.

Some people think that the best thing to do with kids and money is to freely give it to them. This is because they do not want them to ever think about financial problems during their childhood but this could be a really bad thing. The value that is being taught is that someone should just give you money not the reality that money is earned.

It is important that children realize that money has to be earned. This can be done in a variety of different ways. One simple way that you can do this is by basically giving your child a chore chart and awarding money as chores are completed.

There are a lot of great choices for kids who want a job and a way to earn money. A great choice for a lot of kids is a simple stand where they can sell lemonade. There is also the opportunity to be able to take campaign or sale fliers around the neighborhood.

There are many great options for children who want to be outside like washing cars or mowing lawns. If being outside is not the top choice then there is always babysitting or having a bake sale. You might also find that animal loves enjoy helping care for pets or walking dogs.

Another great think to think of with money making ideas for kids is the value of an allowance. This is one way that you can teach your kids multiple money lessons at the same while also getting them to pitch in and do work around the house. Plus it is a great way to help them understand the value of money as well and things like savings too.
