Dear Mr. Lloyd,
Can you share me that tips and
insights. You know I have read your book, Is There a Job Waiting for
You? I just finished reading the first weapon. After reading it, a
lot of questions played in my mind.
I really don’t know where to
start. It’s true that if I took the course that I really don’t
enjoy, I will regret all of it. And that is what’s happening to me
now. For four years, I have not been given a chance to get what I
wanted. I’m planning to take another course again, but this time I
want to make sure to follow my heart. But do you think I can make
it?
Dear buddy,
Let’s see how it goes from
here. I’m afraid you’ve spent so much time living a life that
you don’t want. Nonetheless, there’s no more time to waste to
look back and regret. I think the best that you’ve ever done so
far is to have acknowledge where you are and what you want.
You’re not the only one who’s
living with the same kind of problem. I’ve met so many students
also who have been on almost the same boat as where you are right
now. Many of them don’t recognize what’s wrong until now.
In my own experience, before we
can live up to our dreams, we need to wake up first. Now that
you’re awake, let’s work on some assignments to make you stay
conscious.
There are three things that I’d
like you to do starting today. First is you forget about the sad
experience that you’ve had in the past but take the lessons
you’ve learned along with you. Your downbeat experience may
either help you to totally commit yourself to a life change or a
career change, or it can paralyze you to stay where you are
regardless of your conscious knowledge and desire to change.
Second is you need to come up
with a very strong commitment to what you really wanted to become.
Many people don’t get what they want and don’t become their
ideal person simply because they don’t have any idea about what
they want or what they want to be.
Being specific gives you a clear
path to achieving whatever it is that you want to achieve. Our mind
can only act on the mental picture that we feed in it every single
day and the emotion that we consistently repeat most of the time.
Third, you need to find your
strength and capitalize on it. You’ve mentioned in the latter part
of your letter that you’re not good at one particular area and you
asked me if it’s necessary to work on it.
My answer is no. We all know that
everyone is weak on his or her weakness. I think that’s the
simplest reason and logic that can explain my answer. Many of us
though still try to work on our weaknesses because we thought
that’s a smart way to succeed.
It’s very interesting that I
discovered that all successful people that I’ve known and studied
were all “strength capitalists.” They became so successful in
business and in their career because they developed their strength
and left their weakness for other people to compliment it.
In other words, this is not about
one person. Your success in whatever career that you’re going to
choose will depend also on how well you do in finding the people who
can compliment your weakness.
Thanks for writing!
Your life coach,
Big L
