I am..!!

I barely managed to spend some time to think thru what i want to achieve in life - which is kinda bad, considering how important it is to constantly think thru and reinforce your direction in life and not devoting time for such a critical exercise is suicidal to say the least..!! With the few minutes i spent, it was crystal clear to me what best job would be for me like that i will enjoy doing the most..considering there are no money and time constraints. It is important to remove constraints in the first stage to understand your true motivations and things u would love to do..)

In the second stage, i've considered what all things i would like to have from the job - it is critical to know what u r going after in choosing among so many options with as many trade-offs. Once you are clear of your job motivations, try to focus on only those jobs that will provide u what u identified in steps 1 and 2.

After step 3, identify the gaps in your strengths so that you can effectively compete and win over those jobs/roles which you desire. This is most crucial step for me right now...and i am working towards it.

I know, this sounds very mechanical and methodical - but unless you think in such a structured style, it is easy to wander and make wrong decisions.
