If you truly live life by your purpose then work will be fun. The old adage is true, do what you love and the money will follow. Now if you are starting out in the work world or just need to pay some bills while you go to college, more than likely you will not get your dream job right away. You will work for lower pay than you think you should be getting but at least you will be getting a wage. That is why if you must determine your purpose or what you want to be working at, then get your starting job in the field or line of profession that best directs you toward the job that will be your dream job.

• If you want to own you own restaurant or be a chef. Get a job in a restaurant (busperson, cook, waiter, bartender, host, hostess) ‘

• If you want to be a best selling author or speaker, get yourself an entry level job with a publisher, newspaper, or seminar company.

• If you want to be a real estate investor. Get yourself a telemarketing or receptionist job in a real estate firm.

• If you want to be builder, be a laborer or carpenter.

You get the point right? The point is it makes no sense to work at a job that pulls you away from your ultimate vision of where you want to see yourself. Internships are great for that reason because even though they often don’t pay – you really get the inside scoop of what it is like on the inside.

Sometimes you can create your own internship in the industry you want to work in. You can go to an employer and say: “I know that it is my vision to be doing what you are doing someday. I would love to be able to help out in any way even without pay in order to learn the ropes.”

Most people will see that you are so passionate that they will hire you on the spot and pay you something. Or you might have to prove yourself.

“What if I don’t know what my vision or purpose is yet?” That’s ok. At your age, you have time to figure things out. You might take a job in a restaurant and after a few months or weeks you realize that you would never want to own a restaurant. You see the stress the owner goes through or the crazy hours and it may not be for you. It’s better to discover that when you are young instead of figuring it out at 40. Many people learn to turn their desire mechanism off. They are so use to do what is expected or safe that they don’t even listen to that part of their brain anymore. They live life in a fog. Doing their daily work tasks, counting the minutes till they get off work and then complain to their co-workers, spouses and friends about all the problems they have at work. They zone out in front of the TV or drink beer all weekend to forget about having to go to work on Monday.

It’s never too late to discover your true passion, but wouldn’t you spend the earlier parts of your life feeling fulfilled instead of being in your sixties and deciding you are not happy with your current job.

Life is short. Enjoy it while it is here. You live in America, one of the few countries in the world you can really chose your destiny. It doesn’t matter about the color of your skin, the gender, where you came from, who your family is, or your ability to read and do math. It doesn’t matter. Some of you from certain backgrounds may disagree with that statement. You probably even have examples to back up your contradiction. In fact you have probably been fed since you were a baby, doses of examples and testimonials to prove me wrong. For every example you can throw at me, I can throw an example back of someone who defied the odds. There are illiterate millionaires, black millionaires, women millionaires, gay millionaires, Asian and Hispanic millionaires. There is a black person who is now our President and a woman ran for president against him. Not too long ago in history, both groups were not allowed to vote in this country.

You may have a more difficult journey than some, but it can be done and you need to learn from the people in your same situation who have done what you want to do. You must ask the question: “Who do I need to be? What do I need to do? What do I need to learn n order to be the person I and the world truly deserve I be?” Go be the person that the world deserves you become. Don’t expect instant success. Expect Hard Work. Expect putting time in and making mistakes, but before you know it you are in a career and playing by your rules. You may even revolutionize an entire new industry. Spend time on getting clear what you want to do, and then find the masters to teach you how get there. Go do it and make it happen!
