Nine Actions – 9 Week Challenge – Week 8
It is week 8 of the Accelerate Your Job Search Results & Create a Life You Love challenge. The challenge is to take action and transform your search and life in nine weeks.
Only two weeks remaining in the challenge! Remember you can revisit Actions 1-7 by scrolling through the previous posts on the Accelerate Your Search blog. For now, we are on to action #8.
Action #8: Stop Kicking Dead Horses
Following up and being persistent is critical in business and life, but you also need to know when to stop and change paths. Life is a cycle — birth, growth, death. All things (including jobs and interests) begin, continue and end. Whether it is your interest or the interest of another that has ended, release it.
In a job search, and in life, there are things without answers. Phone calls or emails may go unanswered. You may never know why you were released from a job or why an offer was not extended. I know you want to know. Ask yourself this, “What value do I gain by knowing?” Will knowing change the outcome? There is a point in time where you are best served by abandoning the desire to know.
It is a fact that things changes, times change, people change and evolve. Passions die and that is OK. Instead of getting caught up in the past, ask yourself what you want to pursue NOW. As one thing dies, another is born. Move on and walk a new path.
Take action. Post a note, share your thoughts and how you implemented the action of the week and your results.
