Excerpt from Chapter nine
For most people, work is one of the most important parts of their lives. Most people claim that work gives them self respect - it makes them feel they are someone in their society. It makes them feel they are pulling their weight within their group, that they are paying their taxes just like everyone else. Without that job, many people feel devastated. The loss of their job might well be their own fault, brought about through attitude, behaviour, incompetence, or - as has been occurring more and more frequently during the last decade - through downsizing of organisations and companies. Yet how many people do you know who go to work each day knowing they will have a fantastically enriching eight hours? If you keep similar company to me, the answer will be not very many. We do our jobs, not because we like them, but because we have to. I cannot always see how that self respect component can come into it as one of the most important aspects of a person's working life!
Work is no longer secure. Work is no longer permanent. When I left school, I was asked to decide whether I wished to stay in my first job until I reached the age of sixty-five, or preferred early retirement at the age of sixty. It was expected of all recruits in those days that most would stay on within the organisation until they reached retirement age.
No more.
Survival of Those Best Suited To Their Environments
Yet there is not one aspect of all that is involved with changes in direction in career - reskilling, retraining, starting anew - that cannot be made easier with visualisation. Did you hear that? Let me repeat it. There is not one aspect of all that is involved with changes in direction in career that cannot be made easier with visualisation.
It is not always that jobs disappear. It is not always justified that we blame bad management that led to the downsizing. Often categories of positions disappear. Other times, there is a demand for certain types of positions, at other times, there is no demand at all for those same positions.
Between the ages of sixteen and about sixty-five, most people spend about one quarter of their total hours at work. With that investment in time, it should be worthwhile. It should be something we enjoy. It should be satisfying. It should be rewarding - and here I am not merely referring to the financial gains of the work.
