Think Outside Your Cubicle

In today's economy, everyone has the opportunity to re-invent themselves and a new job may be just what you need to propel yourself in a new direction. We often get so stuck in our own limited thinking about our backgrounds and appropriate careers, however the truth in the matter is that we are not one dimensional drones, rather we are multi-faceted individuals who have the capacity to re-invent ourselves constantly. With the average worker between the age of 18 and 38 changing careers over 10 times, there is no time like the present to consider what path to take next.

Example: Move beyond thinking that you can ONLY be an Accountant as that is what you have thus far, and start considering ALL valuable options. You may be an Accountant 40 hours a week, however consider what you love to do once 5 o'clock hits and you flee that cubicle? Are you into planning parties for family/friends? Have you always wanted to learn more about design?

Daily Practice: STOP! telling yourself and everyone around you about the lack of jobs currently available. Dust off your pride and do whatever it takes to survive.
