Follow your Passion
An inspirational Audio Program hosted by Adventurer Mark McMahon and Vocational Coach, Craig Nathanson

 

Is your job killing you?

So many people spend their lives working at jobs they hate. Are you one of those people? Does your stomach ache with apprehension every morning? Do the weekdays drag on and the weekends pass by too soon? Do you get the Sunday evening blues? All of these are signs of inner stress, ways your body has of telling you that you are doing something that doesn't work for you. We act on other warning signs all the time; our bodies tell us when we're in danger, when we're allergic to something, when we need to see a doctor. Why don't we listen when our bodies tell us our work is killing us?

One reason is social convention. We're supposed to have a "good" job, make lots of money. It's acceptable to go to the doctor when we have pain, but not acceptable to quit a job even though it may give us stomach aches or anxiety attacks. So we continue this dangerous behavior day after day, without listening to our bodies, without recognizing the signs of inner stress. A physical and emotional illness descends over us. We stumble through life depressed, anxious, suffering. Escaping into the television, or into food. We drown out the mind and body signs that are trying to warn us of the danger. It doesn't make much sense when you look at it like that, does it?

 

Heed the warning signs before it's too late!

Sadly, most of us ignore the danger signs until something terrible happens. I once had a job that nearly killed me, literally. Every day when I walked into work my stomach would physically hurt. The pain never lasted long, so I ignored it. But there were other signs of inner stress. I was irritable, and often cried for no reason. I developed asthma, which became so bad I ended up the hospital twice, and I had to carry an inhaler everywhere I went. Even though the doctor told me my asthma was stress-related, I still didn't consider quitting my job. I needed the money. So I blamed others for the stress, I blamed myself for being too weak to handle a little pressure. I completely ignored what my body was telling me.

Then one day when I was alone at home, I had an asthma attack so bad my inhaler couldn't even clear my lungs. I was lying on the cold bathroom floor, struggling for breath, and I was sure I was going to die. Finally I remembered what the doctor had told me. My asthma was stress-related. Stress. I had control over stress. I closed my eyes and started meditating. I imagined the stress leaving my body, my lungs clearing. It took awhile, but it worked. I could breathe. I thought my way out of trouble, just like I had thought my way into trouble by ignoring those signs of inner stress. At that moment I realized that I was my own worst enemy, and that I had been exposing myself to a hazardous poison -- a job I hated. I quit the next day. It's ten years later and I don't even have an inhaler. I'm free!

If you are in a job you hate, don't keep hurting yourself. Life is too short, too valuable. It's time for you to take the next step. It's time to find work that brings joy instead of pain. Don't you owe it to yourself and those you love to be healthy, happy, and connected to life? It doesn't mean you have to run out tomorrow, quit your job, sell your house, and struggle to make ends meet. Just commit to listen to your inner voice, commit to taking one step towards a more fulfilling way of living. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

 

Take a step closer to happiness.

Another reason people stay in jobs that are killing them is because they simply don't know what else to do! Maybe they have a secret dream to open a bed & breakfast, play in a band, or open a juice shack on the beach. But these aren't serious goals, right? They're childish dreams that have no place in the real world. WRONG. Your dreams tell you what you like, as surely as stomach pains tell you what you don't like. Listen to your dreams. For once, listen to yourself. FOLLOW YOUR PASSION.

Admittedly, the first step is scary, especially if you're trying to do it alone. It's hard to figure out what your dreams are telling you. What exactly are you passionate about? There are practical things to consider as well, such as family and mortgages. Without help, it's hard to know how to take a dream and turn it into a reality, and how to financially support yourself in the process! Without help, most people get overwhelmed and go back to the poisonous lifestyle they had before.

Don't let this happen to you! Mark and Craig's Tele-class is specifically designed to help you get past that first scary hurdle. Through exercises and advice, they give you the tools you need to figure out what you want, and then how to turn that desire into a practical plan you can take action on right away! Listen to the one-hour class, do the exercises, and you can start now. That's right, NOW.

I know, it seems hard to believe. If your current job and life isn't satisfying, then you're probably depressed and exhausted. Everything seems overwhelming, heavy, murky. How can one hour and a few exercises lift that heaviness off your shoulders? I'll tell you how. Clarity. Imagine being able to say, "I know what I want and I know exactly how to get it!" Can you feel the power of that statement? Can you see how much momentum can come from a clearly defined goal? Well, that's what Mark and Craig will do for you. They will help you turn a vague dream into a clear goal. And a goal based on YOUR dreams, YOUR passion, not a goal based on someone else's idea of what you "should" do. How can you lose?

 

Let the experts guide you on your new journey!

This is not a journey you should start alone. Like any major life change -- losing weight, quitting smoking, starting a new job -- you need support and encouragement from people who have experienced the challenges you're about to face. Mark and Craig both made their dreams a reality.

Mark followed in his father's footsteps and became a dentist, without really questioning it. But it wasn't what he wanted. His secret dream was to travel and take photographs. After his father's death, Mark's inner voice just started yelling! He realized he was going to die one day, too. If he didn't make his dream happen, he'd be throwing his life away. So he made a commitment. He decided to take one step forward every day. Even if it was something as simple as taping an inspirational quote to his wall or reading a book related to his dream, he did something every single day. And now he lives the life he dreamed, and even discovered a new passion for writing! He made it happen. Who better to help you on YOUR journey than someone who's already been down the path? And, he admits, if he'd had a class like this to help him get started it would have been so much easier!

Craig Nathanson is a successful vocational coach. He's dedicated his life to helping people in mid-life discover their vocational passion.

And Craig isn't all theory -- he practices what he preaches. Teaching and helping others make their lives more fulfilling was Craig's passion -- now it's how he happily fills his days.

Like Mark, Craig now lives the life he dreamed. With their help, you can, too.

 

Don't waste one more minute!

Don't wait a moment longer. Every day you drag yourself to a job you hate, you waste another day. You make yourself more sick. You slowly smother your dreams, your potential, your very soul! This Tele-class is a key first step, designed to help you gain clarity and leap over that first scary hurdle. Here's a taste of what you will learn:

It's so easy to get started! You owe it to yourself and your family to try. To take at least one step in the right direction. So many have gained momentum from this class, me included! That's why I'm writing this letter. I want everyone out there who is feeling lost and discouraged to feel hope. To feel excited about something again. Read what others have to say about how the class helped them!

The Tele-class was most helpful! Especially in figuring out what I want and shutting out the other voices, figuring out how to coalesce several dreams into one workable collage; and hearing the aliveness in your voice helped me to remember!

After talking to Mark and Craig, I saw the only thing holding me back was ME. I was so afraid to trust myself and to take a risk. After doing one of the exercises every day for a week, I realized there was a theme that kept appearing, a fear that was at the core of my "frozen life". Now I can tackle that issue and finally get moving forward! — KH, Magdalena, NM

With all the participants joining in and asking questions, I realized I was facing the same challenges everyone else was.
It was so therapeutic to break through the self-criticism that was keeping me from action. Sharing in the fears and desires of the others helped me get a more productive perspective. — EO, Tucson, AZ

Like Craig says, "The world works a little better when we do what we love." Don't let your life slip by you, don't let your health and well-being fade. There's no need. You CAN have a more fulfilling life! And it all starts with defining your goals and committing to small steps. Make the Follow Your Passion Tele-class your very first step towards the life you want! Make today the first day of your new, happy life.
