We’ve all heard them. Maybe you’ve muttered them yourself. Yes, folks, I’m talking about excuses revolving around the state of the American economy — the recession.
One of my most-hated lines is “Don’t complain about your job too much. You should be glad to have a job right now.” That’s okay, if you aspire only to have a job. But that’s not cool for me. If I wanted only a job, I wouldn’t have wasted time and money on a college degree.
If you’re not content, don’t fake it. Faking it is what gets you stuck at a dead-end job you hate for fifteen years. If you hate your job, hate it. Don’t be afraid. But don’t just talk about it, do something about it!
I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!
We can’t sit by idly and just go with the flow. Now is the time to grab hold of our futures and take charge. Be daring. Be bold. Be what you want to be.
I know I’m hardly a recession success story. But I’m going to come out on top somehow. I refuse to sit in the pit of mediocrity just because so many others are doing it. I’ve never been like everyone else, and I don’t want to start now.
This rant is pretty much the conversation I have with myself every day. And that’s where it starts, in your head. Don’t brainwash yourself. Don’t take the easy way out.
Get mad. Get busy.
You can’t let the recession get the best of you. ‘Cause guess what, kid — recessions, they come and go. Are you going to succeed only when it’s easy?
