Stay ‘UP’ Now, No Matter What
I have said it before, and I will say it again. There is NO better time than now, to get to know yourself, to become introspective, have a bit of fun again, start working on your purpose… do you have one; do you know what it is?
With all of the bleak news about the economy and the large volume of lay-offs, the doomsday feeling is so easy to inherit. It’s just right there- it seems we are ‘suppose’ to be scared; weary about our future. All we have to do is pick up the newspaper, or turn on the news….. and this has been going on for awhile.
Please try with all your might to not buy into it. It is that simple. I think there is a reason that this is happening now. Our country has been living in excess for too may years; many of us have been. Also, we all seem to be looking for the answer outside of ourselves. Oh, if I just had a job (or that particular job); if I could just have that career; if this relationship was better - all external things!
Look inside. You have what you need within yourself. It has just been ignored. You have many gifts. You have been tricked into thinking that the answer was outside of yourself. It is not! You have unlimited potential; there is more to you of which you are aware. We just have been living a bit unconsciously.
So, it’s good news then. There will be new businesses starting. Companies will begin to hire again. And in the meantime, you will have learned more about ‘you’. You will have a better understanding of your strengths, interests, values, and motivators. You may have realized your life purpose, and can now weave that into the new job. There may be surprises every day, as you learn something new about yourself.
Be gentle with yourself. Take this time and enjoy this time. There is much still to learn about yourself, and it’s all good. The potential is waiting to be discovered, polished, or renewed.
