Between two chairs I find myself fallen and sitting on the floor
I don’t know if you can recognize this situation, but my hunch is: you should.
Your attention is divided. Your intentions are divided. And NOTHING gets done.
It should be a daily concern… if it is not, you are probably in a rut.
What is a rut? A trench… you can either go forward or you can go backwards… Or stand still, hoping that it will give you a sense of being alive.
Whenever you add a new task, you have to go through this state: if you don’t, then you didn’t mean to add the task.

[…] It seems that to be human is to crave stories. So, if you are reading this, you crave stories. The question is: where are you get your stories from? Most of you get it in gossip. Many get it in soap operas as well… not much better than gossip. I recommend that you read. Quality novels or short stories… It enriches, while gossips or gossipy TV shows don’t. Neither do romance novels… You need to satisfy the hunger, but just like with food, some foods nurture, others fill you up with crap. So choose wisely.

Many of my coaching students are at a crucial point in their lives where unless something happens, they probably won’t move forward. Fear, unclarity, self-centeredness, belligerence… The main attitude is different. Not one person resembles another in what seems to block their path. It’s the coach’s brilliance, creativity, insight that will either make a difference or not. What is clear is this: unless someone or something helps them through… they will stay this side of the great barrier. Great responsibility, but I am up for it. What is the capacity I need to be OK with this responsibility? It is self-trust. Self trust says: I can dea Every plant, every animal contains toxins that it developed to protect itself from being eaten and extinguished… The selfish gene makes sure of that. Your body, ancestrally, developed a liking and a tolerance to certain foods… that allowed it to survive. It takes a long time for a group of people to create an ess with certain foods. What makes the Japanese thrive may kill you… What an Irish can subsist on will kill you… What a Kenyan runner thrives on is murder for you… or can be. With grocery stores carrying foods from so many continents you are not safe and you don’t thrive. How many individuals do you know that thrive?

volunteering providing services, small services online/offline through craigslist, fiverr Article You may have no skills that you know of that would get you a job in the next profession… But you may have some skills… or why would you want to go that way? After all, the rule of thumb is: go with your strengths… and if you have strengths, you know you have them, because you’ve been using them. Here is how I did it. The time was 1988 and I was an architect. And that opportunity closed for me… I did a skill inventory, and found that all my skills at that point were putting ink on paper… writing, drawing, designing… and communicating. With people. Graphics, design, text, communicating… I decided that the best match was publisher, although I had no idea what I would want to say… Magazine publishing. I was unemployed, so I spent my time training myself… designing ads, writing ads, and I even apprenticed with a small printer so I had some idea what printing entails. Then I sent out two resumes to small local pennysavers… that I saw all the time in the supermarket. One answered, and said that the only job available is advertising sales. That I would get someone to train me… I said OK… The woman who came to train me (I didn’t have any transportation) gave me a script and went out with me to a few stores to sell advertising. Next day she went and covered all the stores I could have been able to walk in and sold everyone she could… Dog eat dog is the advertising world. So I called the other publisher. I told him I sold five ads on my first day… He met me and hired me, even gave me a beat up car to use, so that I can get around and do the job. I was grateful. I worked 80 hours or more a week. I actively participated on Friday’s meetings when every salesperson brought in what they sold. After two weeks I took over that part of the job, laying out the magazine for Saturday printing. I even delivered all the magazines to the stores in my sales area. I busted my ass. I built enough relationships with customers, typesetters, printers that after 14 months, when the owner felt threatened and kicked me out, I could start, overnight, my own magazine. After that fateful meeting, when I got kicked out, I called the typesetter, called the printer, and asked for credit for one issue. I got it. I stayed up all night, and next day at 4 pm my own magazine was in the street. It was the beginning of a wonderful eleven year run. 003_what-does-it-take-to change-into-a-new-career talking points: how do you know what skills to build? reading books
