"Your time is limited, don't waste it living someone else's life" - Steve Jobs

I have recently found myself at a crossroads between a new career and leaving the old one behind. In today's economy I can imagine that a lot of you have experienced, or are experiencing, the same emotions that I am. It is amazing how similar losing a job can be to losing someone in your life, specifically in terms of the stages of grieving the loss. Too often I think that we define ourselves by what we do and not who we are. One of the first things that we tend to ask a new acquaintance is "what do you do for a living?." Maybe that is why the loss of a job in today's society can seem so devastating, all of the sudden something that used to define you no longer exists and you are forced to fill that void. I find myself going back to how I felt in high school and university, that a world of endless possibility was right at my fingertips and all I had to do is work really hard to get to that point. So, who knows what is next...keeping my fingers crossed that things change soon and all of my hard work pays off.
