Nature has blessed us with different passions. We live and work happily when we discover our passion. Observe people around you, who don’t have a passion for their work. You will find, they aren’t satisfied by themselves! A person who is not even satisfied by his own life, is he able to impact others positively? No, not at all!
“A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.”
(Jackie Robinson)
Career counseling assists the person in discovering his passion. He lives a much happier life than others.
Case Study:
Nelia Zingapan Cauila from the Philippines. She started her career as a lecturer/part-time instructor at the Cagayan State University’s College of Arts and Sciences. But, she was passionate about her work so she didn’t get worried about less salary at the initial stage.
According to her,
“When passion becomes your profession or vice versa, it doesn’t feel like anything is work anymore. If you just do it because your job requires you to do it, then you are missing the joy of living”
Nelia completed her post-graduate studies from the Cagayan State University. Finally, her passion, unparalleled commitment, and great performance led her towards higher posts. Now, she is the President of the “Apayao State College”!
What is the key factor in her success? Passion! She discovered, followed, and worked according to her passion. This path ultimately led her towards a successful and happy life!
Let’s discuss the impact of career counseling on different aspects of life.
Personal life
In human life, one decision is extremely important i.e. which career he is going to choose. If he finalizes his career wisely then there are more chances of living a contented life. As out of 24 hours normally we have to work for 8 hours. If that work is according to our strengths then we don’t get annoyed by it. As a result, we stay calm, positive, and motivated.
Personal behavior
Our behavior towards others become rude when we get annoyed by something. Imagine, you are daily getting frustrated by your work! Do you think, your behavior toward others will be satisfactory? Choosing the right career for yourself results in good behavior towards others.
Goal setting
Suppose, you are doing work against your nature. Will you plan that effectively? Contrarily, think about the task which is according to your strengths. What will be your strategy now? You will plan this passionately. Right? You will stay inspired all the time. There will be no major need for external motivation. Chances of planning and achieving your goals will be much higher now.

Everyone has heard the phrase “health is wealth”. How many people are working for their health? The majority of the people work the whole day just to fulfill their basic needs! Will they even think about exercising, running, meditation, or yoga?
