"Whatever the universal nature assigns to any man at any time is for the good of that man at that time." ~ Marcus Aurelius
Destiny is defined as, "The inevitable or necessary fate to which a particular person or thing is destined and a predetermined course of events considered as something beyond human power or control".

Each of us is handed trials, tribulations and experiences because we are made to experience our destiny. It is not that we don"t have free will to affect the course of our life, because we do, but more importantly, nature takes it course with us regardless if we like it or not.
I do not believe your destiny is to be unemployed. You are in a space and time for one reason or another, that finds you without a job. You are being tested and tried, but you are also being strengthened, refined, molded, and crafted for something greater, that's for sure!
You might often wonder, "Why did I have to be the one let go?”, or "Why did that happen to me?”, right?
William Shakespeare said, "That, that is, is", and what more can you honestly say about destiny. I'd like to add something else to William's verse, and that is, "What is, doesn't always have to be!"
Don't accept that your destiny is to be unemployed and make a commitment it will end soon. I know it's hard to stay motivated week after week, but you need to try and do something EACH and EVERY day towards finding work. Take time to stop and ask yourself, "What is my destiny?", "What have these past months taught me about who and what I want to be?", "How do I go about finding my next job?"
"It's in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped." ~ Anthony Robbins.
GOOD NEWS: I love good news, don't you? Finally, the weekend news reports the job market shows signs of a slight turn around in the job market! Looks like August data shows hiring by the private sector has improved. Unemployment figures in the Inland area dropped slightly.
CONGRATULATIONS: To everyone who has written me to report they have been through first and/or second round interviews over the past few weeks, I hope to soon hear from you that you have accepted an offer!
BACTS FACT: “There is an unmistakable confidence, which is infectious, in a candidate who understands they can affect their destiny." ~ Jan Smith
THAT'S IT: The BACTS Update was not posted last week because I was at the hospital with my brother, who fell from a 30 foot scaffold and took a "swan dive" onto the concrete. He came home yesterday after a week in the hospital, and is on the mend. It is clear that his destiny was not to check out any time soon, as it could have had a different outcome if his fall was backwards instead of forward. Destiny... No doubt, my brother has wondered, "Why me", "If I had only done something different", "If I had only built the scaffolding another way...."
"There is no such thing as chance; and what seems to us merest accident springs from the deepest source of destiny. ~ Johann Friedrich Von Schiller
No one knows why things happen to us. It will always remain a mystery of nature. I do honestly believe that things happen for a reason in life. Maybe you are unemployed today because you didn't really like your previous job, the company, pay, ethics, manager, or industry. Maybe you are wondering if you had only worked harder, smarter, quicker, made more connections or friends, been more aggressive, or not as much, more technical, more contemporary, dressed better, been more social, or less, been more creative, interesting, promotable, or knowledgeable…the list probably goes on and on in your head. I’m not sure what you could have done differently, but destiny has instead put you in this place today.
Maybe you'll look at your unemployment and realize you need to be somewhere else geographically, or change your career, industry, position, to something you have always dreamed of doing, and the unemployment creates an opportunity for you to be where you want to be.

Many people find themselves in a rut and don't have the confidence to leave a job for something else; something better. You are the lucky ones…you have been given an opportunity to affect your destiny.
Destiny can create the confidence to move forward, if you allow it to.
Good luck on the job search this week.
