After being unemployed for 12 months, a friend of mine received a job offer for
an excellent position just two days ago.

Can you imagine how the mood goes up and down in such a long period of insecurity?

 

If you are lucky it goes up and down. Else it stays on a pretty low level.

What can you do when you have a bad day,
weekend or even longer period of low energy and frustration?

My answer:

Reconnect to your vision of your life.

Maybe you never thought of the legacy that you want to leave.

Maybe you have never defined YOUR big picture of YOUR life.

Organize a 60 minutes telephone conference with your 75 year old self.

Discuss the questions

“What do I want to look back at? What five big things did I accomplish at the age of 75?”

Next, throw away your potato chips (do it now or tonight when your get home),

bring your tv into the basement (do it now for at least four weeks or forty years),

call your friends or family.

Alternatively, take your running shoes and start running. Within the next 15 minutes.

Don’t hesitate. Do it now.

Before you throw away, carry down, call and run, watch this video.

My best wishes,

Markus Jotzo

PS: Do let me know how your evening and life went!
