THE EVER FLOWING WELL OF BEYONDISM oozes the delicious message that true HAPPINESS, entails the unfolding of your powers in accordance with the law of your human nature and the assumption of full responsibility for your ‘existence’. Propelled by the drive to ACTIVATE your SELFHOOD, you will move forward toward growth, happiness, and satisfaction. To be at peace with yourself, you must start at this early age of YOUTH, to prepare yourself to indulge in an occupation that will be in synch with your personality (your God-endowed unique pattern). Otherwise when you go to the real world of work, you will suffer from the Triple B’s (Bored BEYOND Belief), which is a virtual death. When your interests and traits will be in synchronicity with your skills, there will tend to be a consummation between your work and your play such that your work will become your play and your play will become your work.

Your concise career choice can be the only mortally rewarding attempt to gratify your impulses. Well informed and sincere career choice offers an arena for realistic self-appraisal (a judgment or opinion in regard to assesment of your effectiveness or usefulness). It is an ennobling expression of your ego-ideal (image of what you could or should be), thus giving value and meaning to your LIFE. This implies that, to courageously curve-out your divinely destined direction, in order to competently contribute to your career calling, is to be assertively authentic.

As a clarion call to utilise the best of what God gave you, BEYONDISM intimates that, Career Development (either formal or informal) is a lifelong process whereby self-concept changes over time, and develops as a result of experience. BEYONDISM places a lot of emphasis upon viewing vocational choice more as a development and not simply a process. As a result, we emphasise the term vocational development as an extesion to vocational choice. We advocate for the use of the term development mainly because it encompasses important concepts of preference, choice, entry and adjustment.

SEVEN therapeautic tonics to loftily LOCATE your LIFE’s BASIC BEARING:

1. BASICALLY, people differ in their unique abilities, interests and personalities. By virtue of these diverse characteristics people are particularly qualified to do many different jobs.
2. EACH specific occupation requires a certain pattern of interests and abilities. However, it still leaves enough variety to allow for different kinds of people in different occupations.
3. ACTUALLY, the nature of career pattern one develops will largely be determined by parental influence, one’s mental ability, personality and the opportunities one gets in LIFE.
4. REAL work and LIFE satisfaction depends upon the extent to which individuals are able to balance between personal factors and social factors in their vocational choices.
5. IN all vital considerations, the process of career development can be summed up in a series of FIVE stages; growth, exploration, establishment, maintenance and decline.
6. NURTURED well, each particular CAREER developmental stage can be further divided into FIVE phases; growth, exploration, establishment, maintenance and decline.
7. GUIDANCE through the different stages can be very vital. This is done by facilitating the development of interest and abilities, and by reality-testing and developing self-concept.

A person puts into occupational terms his or her idea of the kind of a person he or she is. In entering an occupation he or she seeks to implement a concept of him or herself. In getting established in an occupation he or she achieves SELF-ACTUALISATION. From research on self-concept and career development, career theorists have reached SEVEN key conclusions:

1. Agreement between self-concept and one’s occupational concept is related to occupational preference and internal and external criteria of failure and success.
   
   
2. Agreement between self-concept and occupational role of important persons is not related to external criteria of success.
   
   
3. Rather vocational self-concept is related to levels of attainment in an occupation.
   
   
4. Certain characteristics of self-concept such as self-understanding, increases with age and strength of certain needs.
   
   
5. The process of vocational development is essentially that of implementing a self-concept.
   
   
6. Through experience and self-examination one acquires and clarifies his or her self-concept.
   
   
7. The satisfaction felt by a person about his or her job largely depends on how his or her work is related to his or her self-concept.

In our present technological times of IT Revolution, as fired by Internet and the Big Data, most young people have a high chances of achieving MASTERY in their specific fields of interest. MASTERY does not here means having a MASTERS degree (although it may be necessary), but it is the feeling that we have a greater command of reality, our profession, other people, and ourselves. It entails moving to higher levels of intelligence; to see more deeply and realistically; to practice and make things with skill; to learn to think for yourself; to become capable of handling complex situations without being overwhelmed. In essence, being a MASTER.

Here is BEYONDISM FORMIDABLE FORMULA for SELF-ACTUALIZATION

Smearing your CAREER with the ointment of desire for MASTERY.

Therapeautic Takeaway #1.vii

Cardinal Concept #1.vii: As substantially scribed FOR YOU. ..............
Move BEYOND the theoretical description of your developmental stage to churning out its import.
Critical Canon #1.vii: As candidly cracked BY YOU. ..............
To BECOME relatively comfortable in my present ‘existence’ with a hawk eye to a fertile future.
Renaissance Rehearsal #1.vii: As purposively partook BY YOU. ..............
REFUSE ineptness and ineffectualness, by mastering prerequisite SKILLS in my relevant FIELD.

#1.vii. To the extent I desire to immerse fully in my career developmental STAGE,
Which are the basic PREREQUISITES of mastering SKILLS in my FIELD?

When it comes to mastering a skill, perseverance and time are the magic ingredients.
As your practice proceeds, over time certain elements of the skill become hardwired.
Slowly, the entire skill becomes internalised, and core part of your nervous system.
The mind is no longer mired in the details, but can clearly see the larger picture.
Persistence will lead to this miraculous sensation, no matter the level of your talent.
The only real impediment is yourself; boredom, panic, frustration, and insecurity.
You cannot suppress such emotions; have faith in the process and they will vanish.

#1.vii. I, ___________________________, immersing fully in my career developmental STAGE, do DECISIVELY DECLARE that, what separates Masters from others is often something surprisingly simple. Whenever we learn a skill, we frequently reach a point of frustration - what we are learning seems beyond our capabilities. Giving in to these feelings, we unconsciously quit on ourselves before we actually give up. The difference is not simply a matter of determination, but more of trust and faith. I have realised that, many of those who succeed in life have had the experience in their youth of having mastered some skill - a sport or game, a musical instrument, a foreign language, and so on. Buried in their minds is the sensation of overcoming their frustrations and entering the cycle of accelerated returns. In moments of doubt in the present, the memory of the past experiences rises to the surface. Filled with the trust in the process, they trudge on well past the point at which others slow down or mentally quit.

In this reference, as a BLESSED BEYONDIST, I hereby, make an ABSOLUTE AFFIRMATION that, boredom, panic, frustration, and insecurity are some of the militating factors which I will have to work on. The boredome will go away once I enter the cycle. The panic disappears after repeated exposure. The frustration is a sign of progress - signal that my mind is processing complexity and requires more practice. The insecurities will transform into their opposites when I gain mastery. Trusting this will all happen, I will allow the natural learning process to move forward, and everything else will fall into place.
