Perception Is Reality

Perception Is Reality Job search is a full time job and requires discipline, project management skills, thick-skin, perseverance, marketing skills and so much more. You haveheard this all before. Yet, how many are really accepting this? How many are learning to master the skills mentioned? A lot of you are, but mostare not. The easiest thing to do is to take the path of least resistance- continue doing what were doing and cross your fingers. I am reminded each and every day how difficult it is. I also am seeing people succeed in securing employment each and every day, so I know it is possible to overcome these challenges. Last night, I dreamt I was walking with two friends along a country road. I was still in my work clothes and 2-inch heels. (I dont often wear heels because I am a klutz). In this dream, I was walking along side my friends as if I had my sneakers on, keeping up with their pace and not thinking about how odd it was that I was in heels. One of my friends asked me if my feet hurt from walking so far in heels. I replied No, this is actually the second walk today in these things, and my feet feel fine. What does this dream have to do with what youre going through? How does it relate to looking for work? What I am trying to say is that our perception of our situation can sometimes make all the difference. If you dont think something is bad, difficult, uncommon, stressful, terrible, unbearable, then it isnt. It doesnt mean you necessarily like it, just stop thinking about how bad job search is. You can do it. You will get a job. Just do it!
