Balance
Making different decisions when the madness of who I am is clouded by what I am used to? Change is a fickle concept. Far too often we entrap ourselves in the embodiment of our created security and ego. Sure, we can make different decisions about the food that we eat from day to day, or the people we’ll talk with from one moment to the next, but what about when real change is needed? When at the crux of continuing down a familiar and constant trail that is potentially leading nowhere or embarking on an entirely unknown path, so unknown that you’re not even sure where to start;...

What Lies Ahead Well, I woke up today and started wondering how long this madness of being unemployed was going to carry on. At the onset of this thought, I went to a folder on my computer which is a repository for all the jobs that I apply to. My method of retaining this information is as follows: Find a job posting to apply to Select print and save the job description page as a PDF Save the PDF to my folder: “Jobs applied to” I do this each and every time. Part of the reason is so I can keep track of where and when I am applying for the Unemployment agency in Florida in case...

We Are Here and We Are Ready I’ve written a lot about my personal trials, refocusing and the shifting in my thinking about the current perils of being unemployed from my perspective (and about myself on a personal level). This post today is being written for those companies throughout the U.S. that have positions posted, but seem to be stalled in their hiring; or failing to do so. By “failing to do so”, this is not meant for companies that are still on a hiring freeze or those that do not have the budget to hire another person, rather, this is meant for the companies that...

Leaping With Our Choices On March 26, 1989, I was 12 years old and on this day premiered a television show called Quantum Leap. This was a series created by Donald P. Bellisario. It presided around a man known as Dr. Sam Beckitt and his trusty, patriotic friend, Al. They were aided by a computer system, named Ziggy, that was able to determine the probability of what “most likely” needed to be done on a leap. The crux of the show: Sam built this system and in the process of a test run, he started his downward (or upward, depending on your view) path of leaping from his...

What Lies Within Our surroundings are like a cloud. Grey and hazy. It’s where we hide. It’s where we lie. Walls govern this inner world that we often close off from the outside world. But in our hidden sanctums, we possess a desire to attain and gain to fill in the emptiness of our surroundings. In this perpetual accumulation, we enter ourselves on to a path of self importance. Even when we say that what we have or what we want is for our own need, often times we can not wait to go and show it to others, or to someone. To prove that we have risen and triumphed. To be...

Drifting can loosen your anchor; that you may never be able to cast again So, it’s been about five months since I’ve been out of work and I remember that initially I was really gung-ho about finding my next career opportunity. I spent every waking hour touching up my resume, having people (friends and former co-workers) review my resume and applying for jobs that I wanted to be in. I thought to myself that I was going to bounce back on my feet and set sail again. I’m confident that for 2-months straight I was on this mission. I’m still on this mission. I...

To "run without condition" is a metaphor for doing all that I can, with all that I have; to be boundless. It's my acceptance of an unconditional spirit and thriving to move beyond the constraints of myself.
