Sweet Job Tips : Listen to the Whisper in Your Job Search - Take Action!

Listen to the Whisper

 

I want to share with you something from Oprah Winfrey that she presented at a California women’s conference where she taught a profound lesson about spiritual guidance. She calls up the whisper…

“God always first speaks to you in the whisper. So right now… the universe is whispering to you about your job… is whispering about your children… is whispering to you about your relationship. If I were you, I take it in the whisper. Because after the whisper, you get a little thump on your head… A thump on the head is a message, trying to get through to you. If you don't pay attention to that, you end up in a big old problem. That's a brick falling upside your head because you didn't hear it in the whisper. And if you don't pay attention to the brick then you get a whole wall of bricks falling down. Now you don't have a problem, you've got a crisis. And if you don't pay attention to the brick wall falling… the whole house caves in and you''re in a full blown disaster. So I try to do is get it in the whisper. Get it in the whisper. Your life is whispering to you right now. What is it saying?

We all need to slow down and listen to the whisper in our heads. Don’t listen to the critical whispers, listen to the new “clean ideas” that you come across during the day.

Take action on the whispers that you hear for 2-3 days. Those are the true whispers in your heart that you need to take action on.

The sooner you take action, the sooner you will create positive results in your life and your job search.

If you wait, you could “miss the boat”. “Those that hesitate are lost”.

You are not lost, everyday part of the path is being shown to you. Slow down and learn to know it when you see it.

Believe it, embrace it and take action. The only way to improved results is by taking action. The risk of taking action certainly out ways not taking action.

Remember that I am a firm believe that you cannot win the lottery unless you buy a ticket.

The same is true of your job search.

An example is refreshing all you postings of your resume on the various web sites, and see the activity increase.

I wish the best for all of you in your lives and in your job search this week.

Blessings,

“The Power of Optimism”
I want to share with you an excerpt from the book. The Power of Optimism, written by
the well known author and therapist Alan Loy McGinnis.
The following are his 12 characteristics of optimists:
1. Optimists are seldom surprised by trouble.
2. Optimists do not look for partial solutions.
3. Optimists believe they have control over their futures and are not just
victims of circumstances.
4. Optimists interrupt their negative trains of thought.
5. Optimists heighten their powers of appreciation.
6. Optimists use their imaginations to rehearse success.
7. Optimists are cheerful even when they cannot be happy.
8. Optimists believe they have an almost unlimited capacity for stretching.
9. Optimists build lots of love into their lives.
10. Optimists like to swap good news.
11. Optimists accept what cannot be changed.
12. And optimists usually allow for regular physical and mental renewal.

All of us can become more positive an optimistic learning to develop these traits.
McGinnis says:
“These tough-minded optimists may be of average intelligence and looks, but
they know how to keep themselves motivated, and they approach their
problems with a can-do philosophy. They are experts at building a strong,
positive esprit de corps in their family or on their team, and they emerge from
tragedies somehow stronger and more attractive.
“There is no doubt that this mind-set enables people to rise to the top of their
fields. Recent studies show that optimists excel in school, have better health,
make more money, establish long and happy marriages, stay connected to their
children, and perhaps even live longer” (The Power of Optimism, P. 1)
President Lincoln once said. “The pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity and
the optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”

Work every day to push back the pessimistic, self defeating talk. Work to maintain a
positive headset. The trick is to see the positive in as many situations as possible.
Remember to remind yourself every morning about what you are grateful.
Review at night what you are grateful for at the end of the day.
80% of life is a headset and between the ears. (90% if a job search is between the ears)

Stay positive and optimistic!
Warmly,

Eleanor Anne
