The path to a "Yes"

A whole lotta us are probably wondering if we are on the right path, the path to a "yes". Although the categories may be different, but the question is universal. Just as I am pondering if I am going to land a job soon, others are probably wondering if they will meet their soul mates any time soon, or if they will finally find themselves.

What's my solution? Don't think about it. Its not like late night thinking will do you any good. Just do... whatever is it that you need to do to be on that path. For me, its to not feel, and just get on with whatever is it that I need to be doing. Applying for jobs, go work out, you name it.

Maybe, just maybe, that we, a nation of over-thinkers, are actually doing ourselves an injustice with all that cerebral activities. Perhaps we should just adopt the attitudes of guys in clubs. You know, those guys that move down the lines of girls until they finally get one that says "Yes". After all, we just need one, right?

That, was my ah-ha moment for yesterday. I had a second phone interview for a position that I didn't want, but I had a pleasant conversation with the interviewer nonetheless. At the end of the interview, he said that he doesn't think I am a good fit, but, he will offer me the chance to rebut. So I did, just now. Why not?

And I realized that I was h.a.p.p.y, without a job.
