John Harmer


Questioning your career choices might be the key to unlocking a future tailored to your true personality and aspirations."

In a town brought to it's knees by Recession, Alex found himself 7nemployed

The job he had drifted into along with his mates 25 years before disappeared when the employer closed down overnight. Leaving no similar jobs available. Alex had a family to feed and support.

What to do?

The future looked bleak.

Faced with the  prospect of finding a new career, Alex pondered the societal expectations that had shaped him professionally.

When his wisest adviser came up and said, "Is the comfort of conformity worth sacrificing the potential of your undiscovered journey? Don't make the  mistakes others  do in your position. Look closely  at  your  personality and the  traits that control your decision making".

The advice rolled around in Alex's mind.

Sparking a journey of self-discovery for Alex that led to a career reimagined.

Here are the 3 questions that Alex asked himself and answered correctly:

Do I Trust  The Illusion of Stability?

Many mistake stability for happiness, clinging to the illusion of security in a familiar career. From a spiritual perspective, true stability lies in aligning your work with your inner self. Embrace self-discovery that leads to your core purpose.

Do I See Fear of Change as a Barrier?

Fear of the unknown often traps individuals in unfulfilling careers. Recognize that fear is a natural part of any transformative journey. Embrace it as a guide . Within fear lies the gateway to personal and spiritual growth.

Do I Ignore What I Believe is Right For Me?

Many dismiss their inner callings, ignoring intuition. Acknowledge and trust your inner guidance. By attuning to your intuition, you open yourself to insights that guide your professional path.

Remember that discomfort is the gateway to growth. By questioning the norm and daring to redefine your professional path, you embark on a spiritual journey of self-discovery. Embrace the discomfort, listen to your intuition, and design a personal learning path that aligns with your true goals.
