Animals have a simple decision to make when things are going bad- fight or flight. This isn't to say that animals aren't intelligent it only says they tend to work in black and white decisions. As humans we often respond the same way as animals but we do have an option. We can go against genetic programming and do something different.
Just like in our job searches we can fight and fight to where we think that there is no other option but to look somewhere else. It could be geographically or industry or function. This is still a fight or flight option.
What makes us different from animals is that we can look at how we are doing things and try to improve how we do them, We can look at our strengths and use them to our advantages to stay focused on our goals. We can work on our weaknesses and get stronger in that area through training or experience.
Today's joy is about the possibilities of doing things different or better to change the outcome. Instead of fight or flight we have better, faster, stronger, or smarter.
