Who do you want to be when you grow up?

That is the question most Space Shuttle workers are asking themselves right now. Being laid off from work is a difficult thing, and most people start by updating the resume and looking for a job which is similar to the one they are leaving. The problem is, that an equivalent job may not exist locally. Being "forced" to move to keep doing the same kind of work is also painful.

Maybe it is time to be honest with yourself and start asking better questions.

The first question is what do you WANT to do? If you are like me you just stumbled into your old job because of circumstances. Somebody offered you a job because they saw you were good at something. It may not be what makes you happy, but it pays the bills and your good at it - so you keep doing the same thing. If it feels like a JOB, then your in the wrong place.

Do you look forward to going to work? Or do you count the hours till Friday when you are "FREE" from the pain of work? If you hate Monday morning then it is time for a change!

Is there something out there that you would love to do, but just don't know how to go about making it a "JOB"?

Find out what you LOVE, and then figure out a way to do it so you can be happy. You don't need another JOB... you need a VOCATION! A Calling... Do something that inspires you! What "trips your trigger"? What do you do that "makes time stand still"? What can you work at doing that invigorates you?

Stop living a life that is not what you want. Doing something for 8 hours a day that you don't enjoy is crazy!
Life is too short for the wrong job!

Find your passion and start living it- NOW!
