Great Occupations

I’m not a fan of the term “getting clear”. In the past the term didn’t resonate with me, nor did I want it to. I was just trying to get by one-day-at-a-time. I didn’t have time for “clear” - I was perfectly willing to settle for “cloudy”.

There comes a time when that feeling of “the grind” becomes unbearable. On one extreme it may be called a “mid-life crisis”. At the least it is often the feeling of “my job doesn’t make a difference“. Our friend, Jeff Johannigman, calls job significance the spiritual pillar of job satisfaction. It is that pillar - where you know your job means something. When the spiritual pillar of job satisfaction is met, the others (physical, intellectual, and social) seem to fall magically into place. Many never find that level of job satisfaction, but the most successful actually start with this pillar. The first part of finding that spiritual pillar is getting clear.

I still don’t like the term - “getting clear”, but I can’t think of a better first step to increasing satisfaction in every aspect of life.

Jay Markunas hired a Career Coach to work individually with him to get clear. It was one of the best things he’s ever done for himself.
