Acting "As If"

I imagine if I spend too much time gloating about my fabulous and relaxing vacation in Puerto Rico, you might just skip this part and head right to the openings – and who would blame you. I will say this: The closest I came to working was sending my boss a photo of my feet against the backdrop of the ocean-side pool….it was payback, in case you’re evaluating the cruelty factor.

It’s the hardest thing to do sometimes, to simply let go and take a break – at least it is for me. In this economic climate I just want to push push push – stay in touch and keep trying to open as many doors as possible – because, if for a second I let seep in, the fact that we are in a global recession – I will start acting "as if" and lose momentum. All I control is my little corner, and my attitude.

I am not suggesting denial – there is no way to deny what’s going on out there – but we can act “as if” in the most positive fashion – a downturn does not make us less valuable, less productive, less in demand – it does provide us with opportunities for creative approaches to problem solving, a chance to look at things differently and try something new.

I know this, with absolute faith: You have the ability to change your circumstances – you simply have to choose it – you also have to know that it may not show up in the manner you expect – so be flexible, and creative in your solution to the problem.

Whether currently employed or out there looking – try a different approach today and see what comes of it.
