Bad To The Bone
I am working today and in the background is the song "Bad To The Bone" redone by some unknown artist to me. They added the saxophone and other instruments that I am not aware were in the original one. This song struck a cord with me today. The reason it did is because of the beat. The beat got me moving at a time of the day when I normally start to slow down. I noticed without realizing how that my attitude slowly started to change. It changed I think because the music "pumped me up."
Do you have anything that you use to "Pump You UP" when the search for a new job is getting you down? Your attitude is the key factor in succeeding in your job search. I need to say it again: YOUR ATTITUDE IS THE KEY FACTOR IN SUCCEEDING IN YOUR JOB SEARCH! Do whatever you can to keep yourself positive. When you start thinking the search is never going to get anywhere, think positive. When other things are happening that affect your search, think positive. When you get down, start to think positive.
I am not an advocate of some of the extremists of positive thinking but I do believe it can influence all you do. Do whatever you can to find the things that keep you positive. It may be music, listening to a motivational speaker or other idea but do it habitually. A habit is done even when you don't feel like it. Habits don't have feelings, they are born and bread in repetitive action. Therefore, even if you don't feel like it, repeat positive actions or activities that keep you going. They do work.
I had a meeting today with a competitor this morning. He is a great guy in the job search industry here in Phoenix. His service is well respected and he gets results. I was able to meet with him because I was willing to put myself out there. I was connected to him from a casual friend of mine. He was not a personal friend but was willing to give me a hand. I am grateful for it and I will pass it on.
Coffee is good today and no shaking.
Let's Get Started!
