The thing that is so wonderful about our children and young people is the way they come up with so many new and great ideas and new approaches to things.
There is so much more going on in developing a life than getting a job in an existing field doing repetitive work that has been done that way for so many years.
It is different if a person is learning traditions. Then they can bring their interest and curiosity and learn the best practices of that period.
But if they are here to contribute their time and thinking to the new situations and circumstances that confront us today, then this is the time to really and truly look within.
What are the tools that you have to do this?
Do you have some quiet peaceful time?
Do you know how to shut up all the sounds around you and the mental comments within?
When you do, you can listen for the thing that you are here to do.
You may start with something simple or you may start with something complex.
Start.
That is the key.
If you can, include doing a service for someone.
Honestly, mow a lawn, clean a garage, help sort out a room.
That gets the service mentality flowing.
This habit is the one that will lead to a job and will keep you going while you invent it.
Valuing your brand new young ideas and investing your own time and thought into them and using your time and abilities for service, all together, are what will produce your job.
You put your productivity in motion first.
Then you receive the reward.
