How does a job seeker overcome this internal barrier? I think it will take a lot of self reflection and honesty within self. A lot of people either cannot or will not make effort. Some of them are truly "working wounded" and living lives of quiet desperation. We have all met them. If you read this, I hope you are not one.

While no job or business is perfect, important thing is to enjoy it, even learn from it. If you are unhappy in your current situation, why not take steps now to change it? Somewhere out there is a job or business that is perfect for you. If you are already there, I applaud you. If not, realize that it may take some time to figure out what you really want to do, and even more time to actually get there. That’s all right! I can tell you from experience that finding and doing what you love is absolutely worth it, every step of way. All of research, training, and hands-on experience has made me a stronger, happier person. Feeling in charge of my own destiny…well, there just is no greater feeling.

Do what you love, and love what you do, whatever that may be. You’ll be happier for it, trust me. I promise you will never look back.
