IMAGINE
“We are what we imagine ourselves to be"~ Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
This past week marked the 30th anniversary of John Lennon's passing. There were constant reminders of his most popular song, Imagine, on all the radio stations and seemingly every store I visited last week!
Walt Disney once said, “If you can imagine it, you can do it”. Imagination is so powerful and describes infinite possibilities to envision your future the way you wish it to be. Consider this: without imagination, there would be no Disneyland, landing on the moon, vaccines, Internet, or iPods!
If you allow yourself to imagine the possibility of your personal success, you can design a future to look exactly how you want it to be.
Imagine it, because it can happen. Just ask one of your fellow BACTS participants, Leonard B, who after sending out 256 resumes (he kept track of all of them), he got a chance to interview, and was finally made an offer for a great position. He never stopped imagining that one day all of his efforts would be successful.
The question is, “Have you lost your imagination?” If your answer is yes, it's time to get it back and start envisioning what you want out of the New Year. Redefine your future success.
GOOD NEWS: December is shaping up to be another month where new jobs are being posted every day online on www.simplyhired.com and other aggregate sites.
CONGRATULATIONS: To Leonard B., who recently accepted a QC Inspector position after being out of work for 19 months. He wrote, “There were times I started to loose my confidence and wondered if I would ever get a job, but I refused to give up.” Leonard extended his search to include Orange County, which helped to open up his search and find a new opportunity.
BACTS FACT: “Never ever give up.” ~ Jan Smith
THAT'S IT: “You imagination is your preview of life’s coming attractions” ~ Albert Einstein. There's no reason now to give up imagining yourself in whatever you want to do.
The idea is to:
· Imagine sending off a resume in response to a job posting
· Imagine envisioning it reaching the hands of a recruiter
· Imagine the recruiter being wowed
· Imagine being called for an interview
· Imagine walking through the door of the company for the interview and it going well
· Imagine getting a call from the recruiter, "I'd like to make you an offer to join our company."
Picture it, imagine it, and let it tumble around in your head for awhile…Feels pretty good, right?
Keep your eyes on this scenario and tell yourself, “It’s going to happen to me because I can imagine it happening.”
Make this your mantra for the rest of the year.
“Live out your imagination, not your history” ~ Stephen Covey
Good luck on the job search this week,
