I really mean it when I say searching for a new job is a roller coaster ride. The week started with three viable leads and then yesterday and today’s searches have left me with no new options.
I am trying to stay positive. I am trying to keep my nose to the grindstone and every day I work on the job search. I’ve put my hopes and dreams and wishes out there in the universe and have imagined them and prayed for them.
I even did a vision board. I know, I know. But there are days when you have to throw conventional methods out the window and try something a little crazy. In case you’re not familiar with the book “The Secret” and the vision board, the idea is that you put on a board or paper images and words representing what you want and you focus positive energy and imagine these things to be a reality in your life.
So I made a vision board and have it on my desk. On my board are images and words reflecting a good job in a good company and travel for business and pleasure. Pretty good stuff right? I look at my vision board several times a day and focus on these things being a reality.
I made my vision board almost a year ago. Now I know I need new contacts (something I’ve been putting off until I get a new job), but I’m beginning to think the universe might being experiencing some blurry vision of its own!
In the interest of fairness and not making the universe angry, maybe it is me? Have I missed something? Should I be rubbing the vision board like a Genie in a bottle or would that really cause the neighbors to talk? Should I throw pennies on top of it as if it were a fountain? Should I light a small end of it on fire and make a wish like a birthday candle?
Maybe trying to clean the coffee stains off of it would be a start?
