Finding the best job in the world, tailored to your needs, is easier than you might imagine. Doing what it takes to land the job and making yourself qualified for it is a little more work. The best job in the world can range from that of a business executive, physician, sports player, school teacher, post office clerk, TV producer and much more. There is however one key characteristic that is common to any and all of these jobs - before they can become your best job - and that is, the ease it produces inside you while doing that job.

"The ease it produces inside you?" - What does that have to do with my job? Isn't a job supposed to be hard work?

A job is hard work for someone viewing from outside, but for one who is working from within; it should come easily, naturally, without any stress. Any form of true work is a form of an offering from us to the Universe that sustains and feeds us, and in that spirit, just as a plant grows naturally and effortlessly, so should our own movements - in body, mind and spirit - while executing that job. The creativity that flows through when you are in complete harmony with your task, and the "good luck" that you enjoy when in that state, are, to put it mildly, astounding.

So how does one find such a job for oneself? Websites such as careerbuilder.com, jobs.com and others can help you find the right job, but these are the last steps in your journey for finding your best job in the world, not first.

The first step is to take a close inventory of your areas of work in the past, with a keen eye on where you have been headed in the last 3-5 years. Also pay some attention to your inner feelings as you go through your history. There will be certain jobs that make your heart sing again, and others that - though valuable when seen from a social lens - were not so delightful to work on. This will quickly begin giving you insights about the nature of jobs where you usually excel.

The second step, after having taken a close inventory of your past jobs, is to meditate silently and listen for any words of wisdom from within yourself. Do not begin thinking - simply sit silently and let the thoughts emerge. Do not chase these thoughts, but wait for any movement that urges action. If you do not get anything, then perhaps you already are in a job that is a perfect vehicle to express your full potential, naturally and easily. Repeat this exercise every few days, even as you continue to gather additional inventory of your skills, knowledge, areas of past interest and so forth.

When the time is ripe, you will be appropriately moved from within - and then, with the full might of your energy, prepare yourself to gain a job in the area towards which you are being propelled. It is extremely important to ignore the social norms and value with which all of us have been raised (high paying, high prestige jobs for example). Once prepared, then, and only then, seek jobs in specific companies that you have targeted and lo and behold - you will soon find yourself in the best job in the world for you!!
