Holistic Career Coach Tips#3
Don't lose focus in what's important to you.
What do you want to be when you grow up? For most of us, it was perhaps one of the most memorable memories growing up as kids. In case you weren't one of them, you aren't alone! Please enjoy the short video that I have provided below.

Dream job fixation
If you aren't careful in learning what else is important to you, attaining your dream job can also be devastating. Let's be honest, our identity isn't simply tied up to our job! By identifying what it is, the potential can be both boundless and rewarding.
“None of us are guaranteed a tomorrow, but we can always protect our greatest assets."
Finding what's important to you beyond a high-paying job will help you safeguard your life assets. The assets I am talking about aren't monetary. Instead, they are things money can't buy such as: your characteristic, strengths, values, family, closest friends, community, or place. Now ask yourself, "What is the cost?" If your dream job did not allow time for your greatest assets or needs, would it still be a dream job?
Career success can also become your biggest regrets
Success can easily become regrets if you aren't developing a profile of yourself and protect what's actually important to you. How? You can start by building a root system in what's meaningful such as the following: your belief, faith, family, community, business, etc.
Here are some key strategies in how to safeguard life assets:
Nurturing Relationships: Invest time and energy in maintaining strong bonds with family, friends, and loved ones. Open communication, trust, and mutual support help create long-lasting connections that can provide emotional and practical support during challenging times.
Prioritize Mental and Physical Health: Regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and setting aside time for rest and relaxation can help safeguard your physical and emotional well-being. A healthy body and mind are foundational assets for a fulfilling life.
Cultivating Personal Growth and Fulfilment: Engage in hobbies, pursue lifelong learning, and invest in activities that bring joy, fulfilment, and a sense of purpose beyond career life. Continuous, personal development also helps protect your sense of identity and self-worth, even during life's up and downs.
