Why Not Step Out of the Box
So often we don’t see a need to look at the bigger picture, we always seem to just settle for the status quo, but in searching for our careers we must not just settle but be willing to step out of that proverbial box.
We have so many tools that are placed before us to use, to help us make not just the right decisions but the best decisions for our careers. Even with these tools, we always find a way to make excuses as to why we won’t use these tools to our advantage or why we will not take that major step forward. It is very evident that many of us have gotten comfortable with our everyday surroundings, so comfortable that we have gotten complacent and are afraid to venture away from our comfort zone.
In order to step out of the box, you may have to relocate to different areas, possibly in your state, another state, another part of the country or overseas. The opportunities are limitless, so there are no excuses that we could possibly use when so many opportunities are there for us.
Even with the economy in its’ current state, opportunities of employment are available. In reference to stepping out of the box, you may need to seek employment out of your field, merely to gain some work experience to prepare you down the road for employment in your direct field. Staying home is not an option, staying in the midst of the status quo is not an option, but finding a way to better yourself and to make yourself more employable is the best option.
There are so many resources that are available to use but the fear of taking positive chances stifles our growth not just in seeking employment but also in life. We can’t allow ourselves or our circumstances to suppress us because we the fear the process we must undertake to better ourselves; you have to be ready to take those extra steps to place yourself in the position to accomplish the goals that you have set for yourself.
Why not seek more education, why not seek more technical knowledge, why not search for jobs to fit your needs and not your wants, why not defeat your fears of being successful, why not make yourself more employable, why not just step out of the box? Your reluctance to be motivated, self-reliant and engaging with your career as well as life options merely stifles you from being the best person and employee that you can be. Always be willing to step out of the box, it will surely take you places that you have never been before, and it will definitely open doors for you that have been closed to many people before you, all because you took that positive step towards your future, towards your career goals.
Your success in life and in finding the right employment rests in your willingness to take the right steps in that direction. This will require you to step out of the box and be creative in your search for employment. You don’t have to just settle for anything, but you do have to be willing to take the steps towards a positive future for you. Do you want the best for yourself? Do you seek to be the best that you can possibly be? Do you want to shake your fears? Well, it is your time to step out of that claustrophobic box, your time to reach for those goals that others think are not attainable but that you feel and know that you can reach. It is your time to make that positive move towards a promising career. So the question to all of us stands tall, WHY NOT STEP OUT OF THE BOX?
