Are you happy with the current state of affairs? If the answer is yes read no further. If the answer is no, please keep reading.
Have you ever pondered how things get to where they're at? Do you believe it's the politicians' fault? Or the corporations' fault? Or everyone else's? Maybe you're not sure.
We like to blame because we don't really like to be responsible. It's easy that way. We're off the hook. However, that perpetuates the status quo. Change can only happen if we do something. Remember what JFK said so famously: "My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."
If you are tired of your old job you need to do something in order to find a new one. You need to get your resume together, you need to put the word out, you need to research potential companies, and, most importantly, you need to formulate what this new job is supposed to look like. WHAT DO YOU WANT? If you put wishy washy out there, wishy washy will come back. Imagining what your perfect job looks like in detail, and then focusing on only those companies that are suitable, will get you much better results than simply complaining that you don't like your job.
So it is with the rest of life. You have more power than you think. But you have to do something to effect change. And you have to imagine what exactly you want.
