13. Stop Trying to "Figure Out Your Dream" - Do This Instead! with Devin Jones

Next Level Confident Podcast

Soulful Life Coach & Career Coach Devin Jones says "It’s okay to not have a dream. Most people have lots of passions. You can’t make any mistakes, everything is just a lesson!"

"Life & career isn’t as serious as you think it is! It’s not an exact formula. It’s an experimentation & exploration."

We talk a lot about this CliftonStrengths Personality test - You should take your Top 5 Strengths Test today!

My favorite Quotes From Today's Podcast:

“There’s no magic formula, like these 5 strengths = you should be a teacher! It’s about having the self awareness to know how you will use your unique 5 strengths in a specific job.”

“Suffering isn’t the worst thing that can happen. In order to truly pursue our purpose we will struggle a little bit. I don’t think struggle is the worst thing someone can experience. Maybe the struggle is okay. And it’s probably temporary.”

SMART Action Steps You Should Take:

1. Every day ask yourself, “What do I want? What makes me happy?”

2. Identify your limiting beliefs.

3. Be relentless in designing the life you want.
