What do you do when you have lost your passion for your job? Consider re-imagining your work potential.

What would happen if you paid attention to your dissatisfaction? What if your dissatisfaction was prompting you to reach out and find or create a new job?

What if feeling dissatisfied was a gentle nudge to help you fly out of your comfort zone and into new territory and new challenges.

Change is sometimes initiated with dissatisfaction or loss of interest and passion in your job. After all, why would we change if we didn’t have to?

It is never too late to change. Brain scientists have discovered the plasticity of the brain. They discovered that just about anyone could change if they want to. You can change no matter how old you are.

Re-imagine your life. What do you find no longer works for you? What do you want your life to look like in five years? Do you want to work more or less? Do you want more time to travel or time to pursue other interests? Do you want to downsize your life to open up time for other things? What would your best day look like? Where would you be working? Whom would you work with? When would you start your day? What days would you work? What would your duties be? What are your strengths? How can you work more hours using your strengths? Start asking questions. What comes up for you? Explore and see what may want to emerge.

In our culture, we are used to the idea of moving up the ladder - What if you wanted to change ladders.

People are starting to re-evaluate always wanting bigger and better. Listen to your heart and hear what it is saying to you now. Dissatisfaction can be a signal from a wise part of yourself knocking on your door. Open the door and begin to re-imagine your life from the new potential that may be waiting to reveal to you new ideas if you will consider listening, looking and learning.

Make sure your resume, cover letter and other documents reflect your change of heart. Go after what will bring you happiness and career/life satisfaction.
