Need a Pay Raise? 7 Tips for Making More Money

“There is in every true woman's (and man’s) heart, a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.”
Washington Irving

It’s not uncommon for us to desire a pay raise if not once a year, then at least, every once in a while. We all work hard, put in long hours, go over and above what’s required to sustain our jobs and yet somehow our paychecks still don’t quite make ends meet.

We have to realize that what we once knew as the traditional middle class household is gone. So we have to consider the reality of doing something different to earn a few extra dollars to alter our lifestyle and just keep us afloat. But in order for the concept of earning a few extra dollars or a pay raise to work we need practical solutions to this dilemma. 

Traditionally when we consider a pay raise, we are always looking to our boss and employer to provide us with just a little more cushion in our paychecks. But the reality is that cushion isn’t always possible or doesn’t necessarily have to come from our place of employment. So quite frankly it can be up to us to make the financial gains in our lives.

Beyond Your Vocational Wilderness: Answering Your Call and Knowing the Truth About Your Purpose

We all have been blessed with unique gifts and talents that sometimes may not be used at our current place of employment. If this is the case then somewhere deep inside of us there remains a feeling of dissatisfaction, lack of fulfillment, an emptiness that can’t quite be filled by money or possessions.

We have been created to fulfill a certain destiny, we have been created to fulfill a certain purpose, a specific call on our lives and when that calling has not been responded to then there is a void that is left unfulfilled. And we are left wandering aimlessly in what I like to refer to as a “vocational wildness.”

Your vocational wilderness is the prime spot where NONE of your needs are met, you are never satisfied, you can’t quite understand why you spend so much time staring out of the window if you have a window to stare out of. Your job tasks are so simplistic and you’re not challenged. Perhaps you are employed at a job where you feel as though you’re on a merry-go-round, completing the same assignment, over and over again. Are you in the wilderness? 

The best and only solution to digging through the maze of your vocational wildness is to answer your call. To some, the call on your life may be confusing; you may even be in denial to some extent.  Wondering why this is even a concern, why you are experiencing an emptiness. Especially since so many of you make six figures or in some cases much more than that. But you still experience emptiness. In that respect, you should do a bit of soul searching. Take a moment to look within. If you have all the possessions and you’re still not happy, if you are putting in several hours at your job (your vocational wilderness), then what is it that could make a difference?   

The answer may not always be what you think, but it could be an earth shattering realization when you discover what the truth is that reflects your purpose. It sometimes may not always have to do with how much money you make, although the amount of money can certainly provide a more comfortable living for so many of us. It also may not have anything to do with the amount of hours that we work (the popular author Timothy Ferriss states that we can condense our passions to a 4-hour work week), but it will have something to do with one important aspect, your purpose. When you decide to take a moment to reflect on your gifts, your passion and simply answer your call.
