Where's my cup of tea?

Where's my cup of tea?

Many search their entire graduation for a 'calling'. Some even extend that to job life. Ironically, this is a paradox. Most of the endeavor for right career can be in vain if there is a lack of right thought given to what can be done with what you are passionate about. In his book 'The work you are born to do', author Nick Williams points out 'One prevailing belief is that work is, on the whole, an activity that must entail a degree of pain, boredom or suffering. It is something we have no real choice over - we just "have to do it"'.
Nick feels that this believe is a deterrent for essential productivity. Is it necessary to do what the market demands that which the society is so conditioned to believe it as 'settlement'?
        So what's in it for a job life that has resonance with what you are truly destined to do? Firstly, there is a scope of staying long with the organization that you are working for, which is essential for building strong foundation for economic stability. There can be opportunities in galore to strike your competency chords in the right notes. You get to understand the intricacies in business as well as the 'supply chain management' a.k.a 'do-catch-the-tails-of-your-job's-cat' badge. Specifically, there can be defined work boundaries and organizational goals to work towards. Then you have creative endeavor to nurture, feeding your right brain.
        Clarity is power. It gives a sense of direction and purpose for the job you are taking up. Through work you can express the spirit of your passion. But where to find the work that you feel like paying and working? Knock your heart's doors and you'll get that calling. Identifying your passion is the first step to make a significant difference in life that is devoid of conventional conditioned thinking and its limitations. So it is important to ask 'What's my cup of tea?' The thing that you take up with inquisitiveness and curiosity like a child staring at a chocolate.
        Many of us have divorced our soul and 'deeper self' from our livelihood. So it’s high time that we reconnected our spirit with our work. A deeper part of us is calling us to let our work become a more complete expression of who we are, and a more joyful activity in itself. Then comes the issue of where to find that cup and so comes the question 'Where's my cup of tea?' Do you need to do a course that augments your prospects in the area of your passion or do you need to stir new techie cups to add more arrows to your job quiver.
