The people who look for help, assistance & guidance, I call them “Seekers.”
I got this question yesterday night, there is a lot of information that is needed to address this but I don’t have that information & as always, no idea about the seeker.
I can understand what it means to be lost & don’t know what to do, I have been in such a situation, it is not surprising if one feels depressed, hopeless, worthless... because this situation is like this.
If you were in this situation what you should do, you shall figure out:
1) Your core values:
Our core values are our life directions, the qualities, beliefs, or principles that guide our lives.
My biggest core value is helping others, it has always been & always will be the same.
So, what’s your core value? What is that which you hold close to your heart?
2) Your passion:
Is there anything you are passionate about? Anything which could do day in & day out, with a feeling of self-satisfaction, pride...
Something that drives you, something for which you don’t need external motivation.
My passion is Psychology & it comes from the heart; it also serves as my core value.
3) Your interests:
At any given point (unless we are not depressed) we have loads of interests, our job is to list them down and pick the dearest to us.
I’m a multipotentialite with interest & a bit of goodness in loads of areas but I do have psychology as an interest that is most dear to me.
4) Your hobbies:
Success is often seen when hobbies get converted into professions, so think about hobbies that may help you to build a career.
Apart from that, one should have hobbies, things which they enjoy doing without feeling guilt/regret later.
Again, I have loads of hobbies, but most dear to me is my reading habit to which I had devoted a day from my week, it’s known as Reading Wednesday 🤓
The seeker also asked me to suggest some career options, & I can’t suggest, as I don’t know about his/her educational background, subjects, interests, strengths...
I would strongly recommend the seeker & reader to do their SWOT Analysis.
I will soon make a digital version of it to share with you guys, meanwhile, you guys can google it.
