You've Got a Curse

From Joseph Ghabi, About.com Guest

You get laid off and are now out of work. You decide to start looking for another job. You wake up at 11 in the morning, have your coffee, turn on the TV and speak to some friends. You dress up and go look for a job during other people’s lunch break. You drop off a few resumes here and there and go back home and sit and watch Oprah for some inspiration. Going through that routine for several days while waiting for that phone call telling you to come on down because you got a job. That might happen in a Hollywood movie but not in real life. The reality is in the way we handle our own personal growth, our responsibilities and how we deal with our life in general. Looking for a job is a job on its own. Meaning it starts at 9 a.m. and finishes at 5 p.m. You submit resumes, you network, make phone calls and you do whatever it takes to land a new job opportunity. It may even mean being humiliated sometimes. You need to step back in order to recover and launch yourself forward again. Or you can try something totally different. There is no limit when it comes to dealing with your own life.

You may have had a few problems with previous relationships and you know it. It always results in a dead end for similar, or familiar reasons, but always with different partners involved. Now you are single again. What do you do? You start going out trying to get people to set you up in order for you to meet someone new and help you forget the hurt you’ve experienced from your previous relationships. You’ve miss out on a golden opportunity while you were single. How many of us will actually take this break between relationships to start analyzing and try to understand their previous relationships to see why, and where, they really went wrong? How many even try to see the established patterns from those relationships? Oh! I am sorry. I hear it is NOT your fault. When you are alone and have only yourself to talk to will you realize that you are the only one who really knows deep down what went wrong with those relationships. You lived through those relationships and you are your own best expert when it comes to your own patterns. Many of us start to feel lonely, feel they may need to be dependent on someone else in their life to handle their problems. In reality, by doing this, you are creating a bigger problem in your life and will end up turning in circles. So you can’t wait to jump on another opportunity to be with someone new. A new relationship at this point will not erase your patterns or erase your past. Learn something about yourself. You owe it to yourself. You have had a bad track record in your past relationships. Isn’t it time to seriously take a look at this? Admit it; sometimes it is your fault. Think about it for a moment!
