hey ambitious professionals it's Linda
Rainer of Linda Raynor comm career
strategist and intuitive purpose coach I
help different professionals like you to
enhance your personal brand so that you
can pursue a career you'll truly enjoy
and in today's video I really wanted to
share with you something that's a little
bit different in a different bit of a
different format so I wanted to talk
about three lessons that I've learned
within myself that have helped me to get
to where I'm at when it comes to my
career and I think that this will really
benefit a lot of you out there who are
on your job search actively looking for
a new position and who may be feeling a
little low and not great about how
things have been coming along and I
really want to share with you that there
are ways to break out of that to stay
positive to stay to increase the
momentum within your job search but you
just have to recognize a few things and
so the negative wisdom that I want to
share with you come from this book here
at Carr tollis a new earth if you
haven't read it already I highly
recommend that you do especially if
you're not feeling the greatest you know
and wondering what's wrong with me why
am I feeling so stuck this will really
help you to break out of that and
recognize what's creating that I
actually picked up this book about a
year or two after I had discovered
Eckhart and the way I discovered Eckhart
was probably the same way is the same
way that you probably discovered me
which was through YouTube I had googled
I don't know what I do gold but I
googled something and I found a cart and
I started listening to his teachings and
of course I got into reading his books
and this by far has been my favorite and
there's a whole series actually Oprah
has done a whole series on this book
with him on her super-soul sessions or
super soul Sunday or something like that
on YouTube you just have to google it
but anyways the whole reason why I'm
bringing this up is because I found out
about a cart back during a time when I
myself was going through a state of you
know inner turmoil and discontentment
with my career back then I was still
working in a corporate job I wasn't
married yet I was still living at home
so you know there was I was in a
completely different life situation but
at the same time I was looking for more
I was looking
for what is going on with me and how can
I get to where it is I really want to go
what is holding me back I was asking a
lot of you know really deep questions
and I still do and so that's when I
discovered Eckhart and so today I want
to share with you the three lessons that
I mean to be honest there's a lot more
lessons that I've learned from within
this book and I think I'm gonna actually
end up sharing a lot more over time but
just today three little nuggets of
wisdom that have come from this book
that hopefully will help you and you
want to know how can you stay positive
while you're going through this so
hopefully these little nuggets of wisdom
will help you so the first lesson that I
wanted to share that I've learned is
recognize that who you are is not based
on the title of the job you held so this
definitely rings true for me back in the
past when I used to feel like I really
identified with the work that I did and
I still do but at the same time you're
not necessarily the title of the job
that you've held meaning for you for
example if you were once a VP or a
director or CEO of some organization and
now you find yourself unemployed looking
for that next opportunity and you're
starting to feel this sense of
uncertainty the sense of I don't know
who I am that's where you really have to
really embrace the idea that who you are
is not the job title that you once held
and Eckhart says this really well he
says the egos sense of self-worth is in
most cases bound up with the worth you
have in the eyes of others you need
others to give you a sense of self and
if you live in a culture that to a large
extent equates self-worth with how much
and what you have if you cannot look
through this collective delusion you
will be condemned to chasing after
things for the rest of your life in the
vain hope of finding your Worth and
completion in your sense of self there
that's really what he's talking about is
that you get wrapped up into this ego ik
thinking that you are the job that
you're
to be holding or that you've already
held and you get into this state of
discontentment and this state of
suffering because you feel that you are
and worth nothing if you don't have a
job and what I really want to express to
you that I've learned is that who you
are is much more than the job title that
you're able to hold and truthfully if
you keep holding on to this idea that a
job is what's going to make you feel
valuable that's actually creating a
block from getting you that job I know
it sounds so counterintuitive the fact
that you're gripping onto that vision so
hard and that desire is so strong in
that you know you're putting so much of
that pressure on yourself and that
feeling of unhappiness because you don't
have it it's actually what's blocking
you from getting there because the
opposite where you could feel you know
what instead I will let it flow I will
know that that is coming to me and that
I am not truly that job title I'm more
much more than that and I know that any
organization that ends up hiring me is
going to be able to see me for who I
really am because I'm able to stand in
my own truth and be able to show that to
them when I get there in that room in
that interview room
instead of coming from this place of
desperation that oh my god I need this
job and because if I don't have this job
I'm not worth anything instead of having
that thought you have you have this more
relaxed easy free-flowing idea and and
knowing that you are much more than just
a job any job if you really allowed
yourself to embrace that that will give
you comfort in moving along this job
search so the second lesson that comes
from Eckert's book is actually a quote
from William Shakespeare that he quoted
where he said there's nothing either
good or bad but thinking makes it so so
if you really think about that quote
there's nothing either good or bad but
thinking makes it so it means that the
way we perceive a certain situation or
someone or something is what determines
whether it's good or bad it's purely
based on the power of our own thoughts
and our own judgment
and in the chapter a cart goes on to say
whenever you are in a negative state
there is something in you that wants the
negativity that perceives it as
pleasurable or that believes it will get
you what you want otherwise who would
want to hang on to negativity making
themselves and others miserable and
create disease in the body so if you
really ask yourself am I worrying about
the fact that I don't have a job am i
stressing myself out because
subconsciously
I think that that's productive if that's
how you're thinking then all it is all
it takes is awareness to know that it's
actually not productive and the reason
why I know that it's not productive is
because that has an energetic impact on
your reality on your situation so if I
backtrack a little bit and I explain
this I honestly believe that it's our
given birth given right that we are able
to create our reality and the way we
create our reality is through our
thoughts through our beliefs and what we
tell ourselves and if we're telling
ourselves negative things if we're
telling ourselves that it's impossible
that we'll be able to find a job or that
we're too old or that somebody else took
our job away from us and now there's no
way that we'll be able to find something
because we're you know outdated or
whatever I don't know whatever you might
be telling yourself okay anything
anything along those lines what is
happening is that you're marinating in
this timeline in this situation of not
having what you want you're marinating
in this negativity instead you could
recognize that this is what's happening
that you subconsciously believe that if
you worry about the fact that you don't
have a job meaning you really tell
yourself if I want to shift the states
that I'm in if I want to shift my
circumstances my reality into another
into another state then I need to break
through this barrier that I've created
for myself I need to break through this
negativity so what I'm trying to say
here is this is that we really genuinely
do have the ability to create our
reality and that's just simply by the
choices that we tell ourselves the
choices that we make and being willing
to be aware that
you're doing this to yourself that's all
it takes just have the awareness that
maybe I haven't been telling myself the
nicest things and maybe I need to shift
the beliefs that I have about this whole
thing and once you can shift those
beliefs that's when opportunities will
open up for you
that's when synchronicities will happen
that's when creative ideas will happen
and where it is that you really want to
go is you're going to be led to that
you're going to be guided to that I know
that from firsthand experience because
that's how I've come to where I'm am
currently and where I know I'll be going
is purely by relying on my own internal
guidance so instead of listening to the
egos thoughts the negative voices
thoughts listen to your own voice listen
to that inner clear guidance that's
within you that is trying to nudge at
you every single moment of every single
day but you keep suppressing it because
the more you're aware the more you can
step out of it and say wow that's not my
voice that's not who I am and then you
can make the choice to move in that
positive direction and finally the third
lesson that I want to share with you
that comes from this book is the source
of all abundance is not outside of you
it is part of who you are so for some of
you abundance simply just means any form
of financial compensation you know for
it I mean meaning the form of a job a
job that pays you fairly that gives you
good benefits and in line with your
experience and your skills and your
abilities that's considered abundance at
this point for you whatever it is it
doesn't matter because what I know to be
true is that a lot of people think that
abundance is based on an external
situation and external circumstance so
in your case it might be that you think
I'll be abundant when I can actually
land a job that's that's the only time
when I'll feel abundant but what Eckhart
is trying to say is that abundance
starts with you feeling abundant first
then you get more of it in return for
acknowledging the abundance that you
already have okay so for example in the
book he says the acknowledgment
abundance that is all around you awakens
the dormant abundance from within when
you smile at a stranger there is already
a minut outflow of energy you become a
giver ask yourself often what can I give
here how can I be of service to this
person this situation you don't need to
own anything to feel abundant which
means you don't need to have a job yet
to feel abundant although if you feel
abundant consistently things will almost
certainly come to you abundance comes
only to those who already have it it
sounds almost unfair but of course it
isn't it's a universal law both
abundance and scarcity are inner states
that manifest as your reality Jesus puts
it like this for to the one who has more
will be given and from the one who has
not even what he has will be taken away
so I think that sums it up very clearly
you know if you're feeling that you're
in this state of lack that you just
don't have what you want you don't have
a job you don't have money you don't
have this sense of self-worth you don't
have self-confidence well you're just
going to continue to get more of what
you feel you don't have because that's
what you're focusing on but if you can
really look at the world around you and
I'm telling you this because I know you
have the time to do it if specially if
you're not working at the moment you
have the opportunity to really
acknowledge the abundance that already
is within your life that is all around
you even if it's just taking it in the
breeze that's outside or the sunlight on
your skin I mean starting to recognize
little hints of abundance from that
perspective is actually what's going to
generate this positive energy and it's
going to shift you out from this
negative turmoil that you're at in this
negative state that you're at and shift
you out of that and into one where like
he said abundance comes to those who
already have it things will come will
almost certainly come to you so if you
want those opportunities if you want
that new job to come along
well you have to first of all feel that
you are deserving of it because that you
know you are already abundant it it
naturally of course belongs to you it's
not something that you you can't get
because you don't have it it's that it
naturally is going to come to you
because it's attracted to the fact that
you are already deserving of it if that
makes any sense I really hope that makes
sense and one final thing that I wanted
to mention was this concept of momentum
okay so when it comes to our energy
states our energy state the energy that
we are sort of holding on to that
determines the speed and the momentum
that we have the ability that we have to
manifest whatever it is that we want and
if what you tell yourself are things
that are of lower energy then what
happens is the momentum to getting to
where you want you know if you tell
yourself I'm probably not good enough
for that job or I'll never find a job
again you know very slow moving energy
low thick energy that's the energy that
you're carrying with you and that's what
you walk into an interview room with so
if you're walking to an interview room
with this negative heavy low-level
energy well it's not a surprise that you
didn't really get further on in the
interview process move further along
because people we every single one of us
we have the ability to sense somebody
else's energy whether we know it or not
you know a lot of people think that it's
just based on appearance it's beyond
that you can look at someone but if you
sit in front of them and you're in the
same room and you're breathing the same
air as they are you feel something you
know from that person that comes off
that person that you can't ever describe
you know you it's hard for you to be
able to but you just get this feeling
from them and it's either that they are
in a low vibrational State or they're in
the middle or they're a high vibrational
State you can feel that off someone so
you really have to be really cognizant
of this idea of energy and the momentum
that you're creating for yourself
because if you are if you are doing all
the things that I just mentioned
all these lessons and and really
understanding them and embracing them
what's gonna happen is you're going to
shift out of this more lower energy
state and you're going to shift into
this the state of being lighter a little
bit more positive a little bit more open
and that creates opportunities that
creates greater momentum greater speed
to getting you to where you want to go
and so what happens is you walk into the
interview room if you are a little bit
lighter and you're a little bit more
open and more positive the other person
on the other side do you not think that
they can feel that of course they can
they will totally pick up on that and
when they pick up on that that helps
them to decide whether they want this
energy in this organization in this
company they want to work with this
person or not and it does help them to
make the decision of whether you'll move
along so you know a lot of people think
that it's all about you know having the
connections and having the skills or
whatever but it also has a lot to do
with your energy and guess what you can
control that you know you may not be
able to control all the connections that
you have at a very you know at an in an
instant but you can control the energy
that you're carrying in an instant and
you and that comes from awareness so I
really hope that that was helpful to you
