Life is complex. We are all unique and varied individuals. At CareerTruth, we use the term “work-life flow” to capture the importance of work flowing in harmony with our multifaceted lives. “Work-life balance” is a binary concept that oversimplifies this idea with work and leisure as its two counterparts. But there is much more to life. We’re here to guide you to find joy in your work by helping you to intentionally pursue your life’s purpose.
People often make career choices out of fear—fear of failure, fears around security, or simply not knowing what else to do. But what if you had the courage to be free, and stop making short-sighted decisions based on fear, and instead make decisions from a holistic sense of purpose?
CareerTruth guides you to discover what your priorities are in your season of life. You’ll build a Personal Inventory around time you wish to spend on activities such as relationships, work, commuting, health, and leisure. Financial goals are also part of this Personal Inventory and come into play when considering your freedom. This personal inventory is a process of getting to know yourself and what drives you. It also helps you to be realistic about what sacrifices you’re making with certain choices. For example, LeBron James decided to focus on becoming a great basketball player. He didn’t spend his time and energy on football or baseball, and he didn’t do drugs or drink alcohol. Because he knew what he wanted to do, and this meant sacrificing certain things to attain that goal.
Your Personal Inventory will help you uncover what’s most important for you today and plan for future goals over months, quarters and years. You’ll understand how your decisions impact other aspects of your life. By making conscious decisions, you’ll be fully aware and in control towards your purpose. This way, you’ll feel less reactive, and less like a victim of your circumstances. You can make decisions with a sense of “freedom for” doing things, such as achieving a specific goal, rather than “freedom from” things, such as a toxic work culture.
Life is not static. Freedom and the implications of our career choices are continuously impacted by changes in life. CareerTruth provides a flexible framework so you can adjust your priorities as needed and make decisions that allow you to maximize your life with positive flow.
