No Job Joy #46 Doing something new

Our parents told us we could be anything we wanted to if we work hard enough. That is partly true, it will take a lot of work to do what ever you want to do well.

It also takes the willingness to make trade offs. In some cases what we want to do doesn't enable us to have the kind of lifestyle we have or want. That is a trade off that has to be made. Not having a job right now may be the best thing if you want to do something you love.

Many people who are unemployed are looking at what is really important to them, To me being home and able to spend more time with family and friends is more important to me that it used to be. Others may see the opportunity to take a risk and live some where new.

What ever is important to you I would say follow it. If you say I will do that in 5 years, that is 5 years of not being as happy as you could be and you will be 5 years older when you get there.

Today's joy is the opportunity to do something new and make yourself happy.

  1. and........no one is guaranteed a tomorrow. We forget that until one day we are stunned/shocked when a friend/family member passes away - a harsh reminder. We live close to others for a while, then we forget and go back to our day to day way of living. We need to always remember
