I am currently working on a book around the very same theme and I had a similar experience as a twenty year old. I hated my civil service job and quit it for a career in the motor industry and the result of doing work that I love is that I have become very successful at it. Keep up the good work. Hi Anthony,

Unemployment forces you to slow down, soul search, make time for others around you, go back to school, exercise. Listen to the news (or not the media is awful sometimes) get therapy or spend time reading blogs on motivation/life coaching with someone like you Anthony! What is the worse case scenario? Living in a red cross shelter? Some do. Slow economic times are a combination of lots of things so I don’t worry about what I can’t control.

I'm personally not in danger of losing my job, since I'm retired, but I'm sure your tips and occassional mesages like this one help a lot of people. Just wanted to say thanks...

This one really hits home. I live in Michigan, right in the middle of the Big 3 controversy. I have been in manufacturing my whole life, as I have witnessed the current events unfold, I realized that the good paying jobs in manufacturing are dwindling away. It is for that reason that I have recently enrolled in a tech school for computers. It is amazing to hear what people ouside of your field say and how they view things differently. I have come to realize that although things are tough today, it is not all doom and gloom and how exciting it can be to experience and learn something new. As my teacher in computer school says "knowledge is power" and the more knowledge you get the better you are off. It doesnt have to be traditional school learning but just sitting down and reading a book on another subject can be beneficial. God bless all who are going through a tough time, but just remember "this too shall pass" Dean Detroit, Michigan Thanks for the blog today. This one really hits home.

I have been through some jobs and at present I work part-time. Unfortunately I only make enough for my rent - nothing extra even for utilities or anything. I know education is the key but that takes time and many people do not have that luxury now. I do appreciate your tips. Truth be told though, I still feel lost. I hope we all will be able to see beyond what we think we are and become what we can be. Best wishes to everyone. I was unemployed last year.

Recently, I injured myself on the job and am forced to re-educate myself for lighter duties. I require more education to obtain a Welding Inspection Certificate to make me certified to inspect. It took a while to heal from the injury and take action to move forward. Thank you for your daily tips that I have been receiving. They have helped motivate me to stop groping and take action. I haven't got to where I want to be yet, but I feel hopeful today because I made some contacts and spoke to people who gave me information on how to get on track for this new career procedure.

I find adding your emails to my "daily reflections" really start my day off great! I had no idea you were a welder! I was a welder for 20years before loosing the ability do manual labor due to a back injury. Today I made the Deans list (Honor Roll) at my online college. The only list I ever made was the "shit list" in the past. At 51 the youngsters think I'm to old to be in college. Today I ask myself "How did I go to a job I hated for so many years?" Live and learn I say. Keep up the good work. Your words really make a difference. Regards Steve Wolf Long Island NY Wow, I’ve been getting your daily emails for some time now.
