For most of September I was mired in a very deep depression. My mind, body and spirit feeling like they were bound by tremendous lead weights, dark and heavy. As the end of the month fast approaches, I am feeling better. I'm not saying that I'm perfectly OK, but better than I was.
I need to focus my energies on getting my life back on track. I need to improve myself in many ways, most important of which is reinventing myself for future employment. In addition to more deeply personal issues with which I am still grappling, being out of work since June has slowly and inexorably been taking its toll. Each passing month has played more heavily on my mind. I need to have a clear vision for what I want and simply do it. I found a perfectly apt quote online this morning by Vance Havner which sums it up beautifully:
“The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps – we must step up the stairs.”
I have already begun my explorations for reinventing myself through an employment revitalisation program called Second Career. Next week will be my push week. I will keep you apprised of how things are progressing.
In the end, this process will move me forward and make me blossom.
