Envisioning Possibilities
Career
I believe that by acting the part, you’ll get the part!
I’m not talking about the “fake it till you make it” acting the part. I’m suggesting that you learn what the behavior is, which will speed the way into the work that you want to do.
“Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy. If you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds only half man’s hunger.” From Kalil Gibran
If the part you want in your life or your career you want is that of a baker, and you love working as a baker, learn all you need to know to be the best baker you can be. If you act like the best baker because you are paying attention to the exact recipe, you will bake the best bread.
And when you make the best bread, you will soar! And become the best!

Post Card Dilemma
April 5th Blog - Post Card Dilemma..??? I'm working on this dilemma! Postcard decisions: size, color, design, message, how many, and delivery options. Whew! Getting the message out is important and social media is not the only answer. I love direct mail and am a huge...
Absolutely true – and in all vocations whether white or blue color jobs.
I agree with you completely. And I truly love the work I do!
