Among the stages of development in life, there is the career stage. This is the stage where everyone decides what they want to do with their life, and also the stage where they may struggle with career failure.

Finding the right job and excelling at it is a mystery many claim to have figured out but truthfully haven’t. Many people fight tooth and nail every day to avoid career failure. But to completely avoid a problem, you must address the root cause.

So, what is the root cause of career failure? Let’s talk about it.

Picking the Right Job

The root cause of career failure is often choosing the wrong career. So, what is the right job? The right job is the one that perfectly aligns with your natural, God-given talents. Excelling in the right job would be relatively easier; it would almost feel like good luck.

Your chances of success increase when you capitalize on your natural talents. When you try to create a path for yourself different from the one you are given, failure is inevitable.

Sadly, factors like family/parental and peer pressure play a key role in why numerous people do not follow their predestined careers. This is why it is extremely important to surround yourself with people who will encourage and support you when you want to improve upon your natural talents.

Career failure is avoidable when people capitalize on their intelligence and talents. We all have something we are good at or are destined to be good at. To ensure success, we must find it and build on it.
