A recent podcast that I listened to talked about losing your “mojo” or “energy” for your passion…they were specifically talking about their small businesses. It really spoke to me.
I feel like I’m in a funk with my job search. After two very disappointing attempts, where I really thought I got the job, I’m just not ready to throw myself out there again. I have another interview on Tuesday, but I’m really having a hard time getting excited about it. I know that it’s really important that I do, though, as I know my enthusiasm is a strong part of my draw. I’m just not sure how to get that mojo back.
I’ve started working on a new website and the header graphic turned out really well. Part of me wonders if I should develop my business, since nothing else seems to be coming through right now. I’m just not sure. The money isn’t steady and part of me wants that security…but part of me hates the idea of being controlled by “someone else” for 40 hrs. a week. Guess I’m a little gun-shy from my old job. It just keeps getting worse and worse there…I’m glad I’m not there…but I don’t like being unemployed, either. ugh…
I feel like I’m back to where I started when I first found out I was going to lose my job. Do I want to work for myself or try to find a job in a field that I’m not really qualified in…at least by looking at my resume…in a really hard economic time? I really thought this last one was “it”…it was pretty perfect for me. Guess I have to trust that God knows best, since He sees the whole picture and I can only see what I can see right now.
