I talked to my career guru Mitchell today. He gives me pep talks and has more contacts than anyone I've ever met. He knows absolutely everyone.
Mitchell shared something with me today that I will, in turn, share with you. Most of us work for someone. We (if you're like me) put most of yourself into your job/career. But how much do you give to yourself? If you're like me, not a lot. But you are your most important asset. You need to put time into yourself. Every day. Put time into achieving your goals--be they personal or professional.
In my case right now, the very core of my being is focused on getting a new job and possibly doing a bit of a career shift. Finding my Bliss.
The thing about putting time into yourself is how surpisingly good it makes you feel.
Mitchell told me all of this today, but on Saturday when I finsihed my resume I was recharged--for the first time in weeks. On Sunday when I sent it out to a company I'm very interested in working for I was practically vibrating with excitement. (And I mean that in the cleanest way humanly possible.
So as of today, my main employer is Me. I, Inc.
And as if Mitchell's pep talk wasn't enough to galvanize me into action, this was today's horoscope:
Take charge of the situation and steer it toward a final commitment. Your willpower is unmatched right now and any decisions finalized today will be strong.
The signs couldn't be pointing any more in the right direction.
