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
