However, a lot of us struggle to define what that means. Our idea of success and happiness can change daily. So how do you go about building a great career when your wants, needs, and desires are constantly changing?\u00a0<\/span> <b>Ditch the Destination<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When many of us try to define a great career, often we think of a destination. So let\u2019s agree right now that we\u2019re all a work in progress. We need to shift our focus from destinations and plans to one where we are continuously discovering new opportunities and gleaning value from the journey. Any kind of \u2018career plan\u2019 suggests there will be a point where an outcome is achieved. However, this logic is broken for a happy career.\u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shawn Achor, psychologist and author, challenges the assumption that success leads to happiness and argues that it happens the other way around. The people who are happiest tend to be the ones that focus on their journey and don\u2019t focus too much on their destination. Studies suggest these people are also more successful overall.\u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So if starting with a destination in mind isn\u2019t the answer, then what is? If you\u2019re only enjoying the present and ignoring the future, isn\u2019t that risking career failure? Well, how about instead of future plans, we focus on future possibilities?\u00a0<\/span> <b>What are future possibilities?<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Future possibilities are not about answering the traditional career questions like \u2018where do you see yourself in 10 years?\u2019<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Career plans don\u2019t fit within a squiggly career.

Progressive organizations recognize that people leave jobs for a variety of reasons, from career advancement and broadening experiences to working in another geography or starting their own business\u201d<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Future possibilities are about spotting the opportunities to discover ways to experience more.&#8211; ways in which we can try new things, learn new things, and collect a wide variety of valuable experiences that make for a great career.\u00a0<\/span> <b>Why future possibilities matter in your career<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exploring future possibilities will allow you to uncover your career \u2018why\u2019, and not just your career \u2018what.\u2019 Understanding and knowing how to explore future possibilities will help your career in three ways:<\/span> <b>Discover opportunity. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exploring future possibilities enables you to get curious about different roles and industries. Your previous ideas about what your career might or could look like will open up when you think about all of the different ways your strengths can add value. When you start to connect this with your values, you unlock possibilities you never considered before.\u00a0<\/span> <b>Find a good fit.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Any career move will come with risk. Will you like it? Will you be successful? Will you be secure? Actively exploring future possibilities enables you to dig deeper into whether your next move might be a good fit for your strengths, values, and career \u2018must-haves\u2019. Making this practice a regular habit enables you to start to de-risk any potential moves and make any transition move likely to succeed.\u00a0<\/span> <b>Take ownership.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It is not the job of your manager or employer to provide a clear career path for you. Your career is uniquely yours and only you can truly design a journey that fits your lifestyle.
