Cleanse Your Career Karma: Pt. 5

“Nothing which has entered into our experience is ever lost.” William Ellery Channing

The last step to cleansing your career karma is probably the most important, experience. The experience that you gain in life is a direct consequence of your actions. Most books that you read will agree that you learn from experience, but unfortunately, they don’t always remind you that it is the negative experiences that we tend to learn from. So, with that in mind, you should always weigh your pros and cons based on past experiences because once completed, an action cannot be undone. Life is a constant series of decisions and acts that build upon one another. So, in order for your career karma to become and remain clean, you must consider that your words and your actions cannot be undone. Your actions must always move you closer to your goals.

Cleanse Your Career Karma: Pt 4

So far, you have identified the old habits that were preventing you from career satisfaction and you should have also discovered what actions you need to put into place to begin cleansing your career karma, so you can begin to reap.

You’ve heard the saying, “you reap what you sow”, well that is what this principle is all about. You need to ensure that the actions that you decide to put into place have positive outcomes. I’m a firm believer in, it’s not the choices that you make that decide your fate, but your reaction to the consequences of those choices. For example, You may have identified that you need to attend school to further your quest for success, so you select a school and attend classes. Now, you’ve completed the education required for your new profession, the next logical step is to begin your job search in your desired field. However, that doesn’t always happen. I’ve seen this time and time again. People functioning in jobs that they hate, with a master’s degree in a totally different field. We complete the educational requirement, but fear prevents us from moving forward. I mention this to say, that it is not enough to make the decision to change. Every decision that you make going forward must be conducive to getting you closer to your goal. If at any time, you evaluate your current status and decide that you are not moving forward, then you have not reacted appropriately to the consequences of your choices. Remember, you can only reap if you are actively sowing.

So, that’s it for today. In tomorrow’s post we will cover the last law of career karma, Experience.
