" "Imagine what you can give in these areas of the Twelve Areas of Balance: 9.YOUR CAREER. What are your visions for your career? What level of competence do you want to achieve and why? How would you like to improve your workplace or company? What contribution to your field would you like to make? If your career does not currently seem to contribute anything meaningful to the world, take a closer look — is that because the work is truly meaningless or does it just not have meaning to you?

Additional quotes by Vishen Lakhiani
Steve Jobs when he was asked to address the graduating class at Stanford: Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
Exercise: The Eight Statements The simple set of eight statements below will help you gauge where you are on the path to bending reality. Indicate how true each statement is for you by selecting one of the choices offered. There are no right or wrong answers. If you’re still in the starting gate, no worries. We’ll be talking more about how to get there. 1.I love my current job to the point where it does not feel like work. NOT AT ALL TRUESOMETIMES TRUEVERY TRUE 2.My work is meaningful to me. NOT AT ALL TRUESOMETIMES TRUEVERY TRUE 3.There are often moments at work that make me so happy the time just flies by. NOT AT ALL TRUESOMETIMES TRUEVERY TRUE 4.When things go wrong, I don’t worry at all. I just know something good is on the horizon. NOT AT ALL TRUESOMETIMES TRUEVERY TRUE 5.I feel excited about my future, knowing even better things are always on their way. NOT AT ALL TRUESOMETIMES TRUEVERY TRUE 6.Stress and anxiety don’t seem to faze me much. I trust in my ability to attain my goals. NOT AT ALL TRUESOMETIMES TRUEVERY TRUE 7.I look forward to the future because I have unique and bold goals on the horizon. NOT AT ALL TRUESOMETIMES TRUEVERY TRUE 8.I spend a good amount of time thinking excitedly about my visions for the future. NOT AT ALL TRUESOMETIMES TRUEVERY TRUE If you answered “Very true” to statements 1 through 4, you are likely happy in the now. If you answered “Very true” to statements 5 through 8, you likely have a good vision for your future. If you can answer “Very true” for all eight statements, you’re likely in the state of bending reality. Most people, however, find that they tend to be able to answer “Very true” to either the happiness-related statements or to the vision-related questions, but not to both.
