Bobbing and Weaving…

Recently I heard someone say that there was a time in their life when it seemed as though they were like a cork bobbing and weaving in the water.

Merely being tossed to and fro with no particular direction, simply being moved along.

For the first time in my life, I can identify.

– One year ago this week I was laid off from my last job…     BOBBING.

For most of my career life, I had a clear direction of where I was going…UP. 

Always climbing, looking for the next right thing.

– I have worked since I was fifteen years old…     WEAVING.

My sights were set on growth, improvement, achievement.

Advancing was always the goal.  It still is.

– This is the first time I have not worked for this long…     BOBBING.

However, the scope of my target hunter has become a bit blurred as I receive another formulaic email.

 – “Hello, Thank you for interviewing with us. However…   WEAVING.

I still have skin in this game…too young to retire.

So, I continue to suit up and show up each day to the best of my ability.

 – Applying…   BOBBING 

      – Networking…    WEAVING

Floating along,

 – Interviewing …   BOBBING

– Applying…   WEAVING

as others move in their clear direction.

 – Striving…   BOBBING 

– Achieving…   WEAVING
