Comments on: Are Your Values Deal Makers or Breakers? (part 1) http://joblifearchitect.com/life-satisfaction/are-your-values-deal-makers-or-breakers-part-1/ We alone must DEFINE and DESIGN SUCCESS - otherwise, life may happen TO us, instead of THROUGH US.~Jeanne Male Wed, 06 Apr 2011 18:19:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.3 By: Jeanne Male http://joblifearchitect.com/life-satisfaction/are-your-values-deal-makers-or-breakers-part-1/comment-page-1/#comment-71 Jeanne Male Mon, 04 Jan 2010 03:19:19 +0000 http://joblifearchitect.com/?p=280#comment-71 Chuck: Absolutely! Thanks for the Socrates comment, "to thine own self be true"...first we need to take a step back to reflect and reveal our true values. They are the internal engine of our motivations and happiness. Kathleen: I'm nodding in wholehearted agreement. We need clarity around what we do not want or what doesn't work for us in order to discover our true nature. I can't take credit for your kind comment of 'practical and useful' as I first learned of a similar exercise from a relationships book by Beverly De Angelis. The results of the exercise shocked me because for the first time I realized that I needed a nurturing mate that would respect me as a full and equal partner. Only upon gaining that clarity was I able to find my perfect match. It works just the same for identifying the ideal job - I consider it a vital starting point for anyone. Chuck: Absolutely!

Every encounter and situation was an opportunity to expand or contract my being and all evoked situations which provided opportunities for inner growth and healing. Sometimes a job that makes one feel like the "round hole in a square peg" is just what one needs to bust of out of a restrictive inner pattern. Looking back some of my most challenging jobs were the ones in which I grew the most because they didn't fit the person I really wanted to be. My heart led me to experience them in order to become clearer about what I did want. Your exercise may assist people to discover this much sooner; I appreciate your practical and useful insights! .-= Kathleen Casey´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.soundalchemykc.com/2009/create-from-a-clean-heart.html" rel="nofollow">Create From a Clean Heart</a> =-.

Socrates said "know thyself." So you are saying that people should follow Socrates' advice. Finding a job has become more competitive than ever.
