Do you Practice desperation over Aspiration?




Whenever I had a dialogue with high career aspirants, one idea always resonates in our dialogue that ‘what are your career aims and how do you want to achieve them’?

Invariably I have experienced, the most career decisions are made - either aspiring to do something or desperation to leave something. In other words, either we want to get drawn towards unseen pleasure or we want to get withdrawn away from present pain.

Why our career decisions are pivoted on these two factors the most and how does this matter when making career decisions?

If you dislike your current job so much that you are ready to accept any other job ant any other place, you need to ask yourself that just by changing the work environment, will you automatically become happier and interested in your job and the work-place?

 Is there anything that needs to be changed other than the workplace? Anything related to your outlook?

Many people make crucial career decisions, desperation based. They need to get out of their current situation as quickly as possible. They might find their new role also not interesting in another 6 months and want to leave from there as well.

Maybe you will have to change your perspective on the work-front so that you derive more pleasure from your current role.

Maybe you have to work on your soft skills. 

You must develop your ability to cope with stress, and strike balance between what you consider your rights and your responsibilities.

 You need to have a proper understanding of the basic principle that you get more output if you put more input.

 Many individuals make a personal transition towards acquiring more skillset and it has enabled them to feel the right mindset to start to think about what they would aspire to receive a fulfilled career.

A piece of warning to those - please don’t wait in a present job until you hate what you do and then you are driven by desperation to leave the job at any cost. Instead, try to work upon yourself, develop a positive attitude, train yourself, develop yourself, invest in yourself and make yourself a model of Inspiration so that your organization and you both become assets for each other.
