　　Like the way of Zen, which includes understanding of oneself as one really is, Miller encourages job seekers and those dissatisfied with work or life to examine their beliefs about work and recognize that in many cases your beliefs are what brought you to where you are today. You may have been raised to think that women were best at nurturing and caring and, therefore, should be teachers and nurses. So thats what you did. Or, perhaps you were brought up to believe that you should do what your father did, so you have taken over the family business, or become a dentist just like dad. If this sounds familiar, its probably time to look at the new possibilities for your future.

　　Miller developed a 7-step process to help potential job seekers assess their current situation and beliefs, identify their real passion, and start on a journey that allows them to pursue their passion through work.

　　Step 1: Willingness to do something different.

　　Breaking the cycle of doing what you have always done is one of the most difficult tasks for job seekers. Many find it difficult to steer away from a career path or make a change, even if it doesnt feel right. Miller urges job seekers to open their minds to other possibilities beyond what they are currently doing.

　　Step 2: Commitment to being who you are, not who or what someone wants you to be.

　　Look at the gifts and talents you have and make a commitment to pursue those things that you love most. If you love the social aspects of your job, but are stuck inside an office or chained to your desk most of the time, vow to follow your instinct and investigate alternative careers and work that allow you more time to interact with others.
