What is stopping you from your ideal job?

I’m sure that everyone at one time or the other has dreamed about their ideal job. I know I have. The definition of an ideal job is certainly different from one person to the other. Some folks like to interact with other people all day, or maybe you want to be contributing to society and those less fortunate, while others might want to be their own boss. What is stopping you and me?

There are always excuses that stop us from doing what we want to do.

• I am too old to start anything new. While it is true that it might be a little more difficult to follow your dreams when you are older, it still shouldn’t stop you. Late bloomers make the news all the time for doing things that are usually considered reserved for older folks. You could be one of those late bloomers. 
• There are too many things at risk to make a leap into something completely different. Well, you don’t have to quit your job today and start looking for your dream job tomorrow. That would be risky. Take your time, do your research and then see if you do your dream job part time. There is no risk in that. 
• I have to pay the bills. This is one of the risks that you don’t want to take. See number 2. 
• What if I don’t like my dream job? That certainly is a possibility but you have to be willing to take that chance. You don’t want to go through your whole life wondering if you should have tried to do something different. 
• Will I have my family’s support? You need to discuss it with them and tell them how important it is to you. I bet they wouldn’t have any objections. 

So stop making excuses and start thinking about changing your life for the better. Pursue your ideal job! You’ll be glad that you did.
