Embracing Change

In this economic environment there are countless individuals who find themself looking for a new job after not having to do so for a great number of years. For many this is a truly tramatic situation filled with what seems to be nothing but negativity.

For others the situation is one of great promise. Perhaps they have always wanted to do something different but never wanted to take the chance. Now the chance, opportunity, challenge, whatever word you want to use has been forced upon them.

Having gone through that situation myself back in 1992 I can relate to their feelings. You are excited yet scared stiff at the same time. However, it can also be exhilarating. For me it was the chance to go back to school, add some credentials and step into my life's real career.

Whatever an individual decides is best for them that is what is best for them as long as they are committed to that course. Where I believe we often fall short is when the goal is not clear and we give up when it starts to get a bit more fuzzy.

The best advice I would give anyone in today's environment is to:

"Set your course and stay your course. The other shore, success is not that far away!"
