- Knowledge
- Self-Confidence
- Effort
- Compassion
- Patience
Gather the appropriate skill set, and begin with the knowledge that you are good at what you want to do. In fact, you are perfect for someone out there in your world. Each morning, wake knowing someone needs your talent, your intellect, your creativity, your compassion, your intuition, your services, your product, and your contribution to humanity. Someone needs you, and they need you now!
When knowledge of you is solid, by daily repetition, self-confidence will bloom and bubble, like rising yeast bread. Now is the time to make an effort. Get to know people. Make phone calls. Get on the internet. You now have the knowledge that what you do is good, and the self-confidence that accompanies that knowledge, but other people are not yet aware. You are a hidden gem, so get out into the sun, and shine!
This is the time to incorporate that vague understanding of simply being human – most refer to this as compassion. There are people in the world who are still at step 1: knowledge. They are not secure in their understanding that someone needs them, so let them know it. A rising tide lifts all boats. Be part of that rising tide. People will need you even when they don’t know it. And so will you need them.
Finally, be patient. Think of it as making bread from natural yeast. It may take a bit of time for you and your perfect job to find one another. Repeat steps 1 through 4 as needed along with step 5, and enjoy.
