Jobs, Health, and Paradigm Shifts

Now I know this is not exactly health and fitness related, but at the same time, depending on how one perceives it, it could be!

I've been looking for jobs, with some luck, but only in fields that I am not that interested in (IT staffing is not my forte).  I kept looking and looking, somehow hoping my "Dream Job" would open up somewhere, with no avail.  Then I remembered something I believe I heard a classmate tell me in a presentation where he interviewed the Director of I believe Marketing of the Miami Marlins.

He said "Don't wait for your dream job to open up.  Find out EXACTLY where you want to work (as in what company, organization, etc.), and let them know HOW BADLY you truly want to be there, even if it means making up your own position!"

I remembered this advice, and am now focusing my time on the companies that I REALLY would like to work for, instead of just "looking" for a safe, secure line of work that I have no real interest in.

Now how does this relate to our health?

EASY!!

I have had friends who got jobs straight out of college, jobs that they really just accepted in order to start working, and are now very unhappy with their life!

A happy mind = a happy body, which = a happy soul.

SO GO OUT THERE AND GET WHAT YOU WANT

When trying something new....

Remember this.....


Whenever you are trying to do something well, repetition
results in understanding. For instance, every one of us
practiced behind the wheel of a car before we studied the
DMV booklet for our test. The repetition of opening the
door, sitting behind the wheel, closing the door, starting
the ignition, feeling the engine rev up, etc. is what relaxed
us. We all feel a bit of anxiety whenever we drive a new car,
and this is normal because it is not our car. We do not know
this car. This looks new, the door closing sounds new, and
the engine feels different. It is only driving in it a few times
that causes us to be comfortable.
