Career & Life Counselor

 

 

"personalizing weltanschauung for creative professionals"

  • Organize your business & personal affairs, in purposeful, yet fun ways.
  • Live the creative life, while optimizing your time with focused activities.
  • Interconnect the various aspects of who you are, to shine as a whole person.
  • Voice your thoughts, emotions, needs, & wants in healthy ways.
  • Express your creativity with newly found freedom & joy.
  • Satisfy your purpose on this earth, using the talents that God gave you.


As creative professionals, our employment, both career & survival, is often temporary

& freelance.  Our lives are fragmented & those individual fragments are not necessarily

joined together in any cohesive connection.  Picture a body with arms, legs, torso, head, neck, etc, all trying to function separately from each other!  Not a pretty picture.  The Bible says Jesus is the vine & we are the branches.  If the branches are not connected to the vine, then they can't grow & flourish.  Likewise, if our lives are so separated into different functions that don't make sense as a whole unit, a whole person, then we are torn from one activity & relationship to the next, without prioritizing their purposes & connecting them with each other.

 

How much of life's stresses can I handle, & how much is too much?

 

We have our work, possibly several different kinds of jobs at the same time, volunteer &

other activities, each fragment of our lives with it's own agenda.  We have our family,

friends, unions, charities, acquaintances, business associates, recreational associates,

exercise routine, publicity (desired & not), fans, people on the street & in the stores,

household responsibilities, society in general, etc.  Each of these require (sometimes

demand), our time & attention.  But, when, where, how?

 

Should we focus on one, at the exclusion of all the others, to pursue a prize?  Or

should we spend equal amounts of time & energy on each part of our lives, maybe never

accomplishing anything great with any of these activities?  What obstacles get in the

way of living our lives to our fullest capabilities & desires?  What is best for our

family?  What is best for us, individually?  Are we just serving ourselves, or are we

an integral part of our community & the global picture?

 

Where do I fit in?  How does my faith become the foundation for all I do?  Olive's Briefcase is here to help - let us:
