What pair of jeans are you wearing?

Sometimes careers can be like buying or wearing a pair of jeans you own. Sometimes they fit, sometimes they feel ok, sometimes they fill just right and sometimes we grow out of them and then force ourselves to keep them or were them too tight or uncomfortable. Sometimes we buy them and love them and then later down the road we don’t like them anymore after the newness wears of. .

But most of the time I have realized that most people won't even shop for them.

Or we will look for the latest and greatest pair of jeans and forget about how they may look on us.

Could that be so for the careers we choose?

Could we be choosing careers that look good but don’t feel good? Are we choosing jobs because we listen to what “Everybody thinks “so we need to be in that field because we know you can make a lot of money?

If your success is not on your own terms, if it looks good to the world but does not feel good in your heart, it is not success at all.”
~Anna Quintile

Well I believe in my heart when you contribute in a job that fits you like a pair of great jeans you will be in alignment with your true self and find financial abundance.

I one time heard this saying “ Wealth follows wisdom “– I feel it’s true.

When you are doing something you love wealth follows you….I truly believe that. We each have a purpose and something we want to contribute to this life. When you are aligned with your emotions and your well being and you follow your purpose – you can never go wrong. If you follow your heart you are never wrong. We are always caught up into what is the right thing to do – but sometimes we need to turn that question right back at ourselves. Each person has the there own truth within themselves and there own answers inside themselves.

So let’s think about this. Some of us truly believe there is not a good pair of jeans out there that fit well and make you feel good.

Could that be the same for finding a career? Are we only choosing the name brand jeans, the most expensive jeans that we see in the high dollar boutique or dept stores?

So why would we only choose something uncomfortable but looks good to the world and something that doesn’t feel right ----but the brand is right , it’s the most fashionable and stylish then why not buy it.

But why choose a pair of jeans that doesn’t make you feel great? That is the real question.

Do you choose a pair of jeans because it’s the most popular? Do you choose a pair of jeans because of the price? Same rules apply for your job or your career. Do you only choose or stay in a job because of the money? Or choose a job because it looks good?

Make a vow to choose a career: (or a pair of jeans)

1. That feels good

2. 80% of the job activities feel good to you

3. Trust that if you follow your heart you are never wrong

4. Trust that if something is true for you it will manifest and unfold easily

What pair of jeans are you wearing? Is it time to shop for something that makes you feel good, confident and only matters to you.

What do choosing a pair of jeans and choosing a career have in common. –They should both always feel good to you –

So my pair of jeans: feel like soft denim, dark jean, frayed at the bottom, flat front, flat pockets in the back. I handle them with care, have flexibility and they feel so good. That is the same for my coaching practice – I feel alive when I coach and I feel soft and gentle when I need to be with clients and I feel grateful to be alive while sharing my coaching abilities with my clients.

So what do you want to feel like in your pair of jeans?
