I could do anything if I only knew what it was


Written by Barbara Sher, a book among others was handed to me by a friend recently to help gear me up for my career quest. As my current temporary position is not guaranteed for permanent placement, I may soon be on the jobsearch again.
This particular book focuses on being a do-er, a joiner, and an explorer. One is encouraged to decide to do something, then figure out the how-to as you go. A direct quote.. "Set a goal, any goal, and start doing everything you can think of to achieve it". This is to be life-changing, and you never know where various goals, once followed out, could lead.
Last week I committed to making a casserole for a get-together tonight. I didn't know what I was going to make, when or how I was going to make it, but I figured that out as I went along and now have something to show for it! So far I'm good at the little things....

Gotta keep our list of goals updated! I just finished my Usability Analyst training this month. Have to take the certification test. Wish me luck!

Ha! I'm still saying -- if only I knew what it is I really want to do!
Sounds like this book gives great advice- be a joiner, a doer, and explorer... I need to get out there and see and most of all DO more. Thanks for the great book tip! Really enjoy your blog.
