Job Search Success Tip #1 - Learn How to Guide Your Mind to Success First
Exactly like any champion athlete you also, must have the heart and mind of a champion. Face it folks, finding a job now can be a marathon event. So why not start with some small steps first, stop watching and listening to all the bad news broadcasts. Better yet, why not simply unplug your TV set until you get hired again. Make a bet with a spouse or family member on your ability to shun TV.
Now that, is real motivation, after all TV is addictive and encourages inactivity. In place of TV, we should substitute highly productive job search activity and measure our success and follow up activity with a job hunting log. Any logical set of laws of success dictate that your employment should ideally be either highly rewarding to you or very helpful for others.
So, if you are going to be really happy and successful it only stands to reason that your life's work should be able to make you or others better off. I just refer to this as aligning yourself with God's will for the greater good. If you really wanted to be an animation artist or a Major League Baseball player shouldn't you give it a real go? After all, someone has to teach high school in Hawaii and be a Yacht Salesman in Bermuda.
A real simple mind expanding exercise that works is to open a picture file on your PC called "I am Thinking It Into Being." Save it to your desktop, and seriously review it two times a day. Mine has all sorts of inspiring pictures in it and other positive goals for my mind to picture and transform into reality. It helps to keep your eye on the prize and your family too.
Next we want to harness the incredible power of your subconscious mind by setting it to work on some important questions. Simply, tape up a list of life altering questions where you will regularly bump into them and review them daily when you can. How can I train my brain to identify opportunity? How can I make this better? What is my next most productive step from here?
How can I show more gratitude regularly? Which of my unlimited opportunities would be the best for me right now? (Banishing negativity makes it easier to focus on all the positivity.) In reality, our negative reactions to new information can seal our own fate simply by concentrating the focus on less than ideal thoughts. Gratitude, comedic entertainment, music, sharing, volunteering, experiencing nature, exercise, hugs and love are natural ways of erasing bad thoughts and getting back our joyous energy.
Happiness is so simple a child can do it. So some of the best advice I have ever heard for determining one's career path is to follow your passion and joy and the money will naturally follow. Clearly, this would be the way our Almighty God would have designed it. Does it work? Ask you friendly local Florida Charter Fishing Boat Captain, An Air Force Pilot or a successful Actress on Broadway. Not everyone can have the wild success of the Rolling Stones or Bruce Springsteen. But the whole idea is, we all were born to enjoy the journey, not the destination. Living well is all about enjoying the journey.
