The compass within

There are many people who are out of work today, in some areas the unemployment rate is at an all time high, but I believe this could be the best thing that ever happened to some of these people.  

Now, I'm not saying it is enjoyable to lose one's job but sometimes when we don't choose to leave a position we are not suited for the universe chooses for us.  The thing that separates people is how they react to the situation.  Are they smart enough to see it as an opportunity to do what they've always wanted or have they fallen prey to fear and gone back to what they've always known. 

I would encourage that person to check in with their inner compass before making their next step.  It could mean the difference between finding a career that satisfies their emotional and intellectual needs or climbing back into another job that gives them no personal satisfaction.  Just like trusting whether we like certain foods, or movies, or music - there is a compass within that knows what we kind of work we are meant to perform.  

The good news is, until we choose to honor that internal compass, life will continue to give us new opportunities to make the right choice.
