I want to have a job that I love, that challenges me, that makes me laugh and gives me the freedom to do anything I want in life, whenever I want to.
Voila! 1 year ago

My list is completed. I hesitated for a long time to put down number 43, but now it is done. Thinking about this one makes me smile and upset at the same time. There is very few people in the world who are able to achieve such a goal but there is some,, I get happy to think that somehow I could be one of them and live the life like I always wanted to, but I get upset to think how difficult it seems to actually make it happen. But life is not supposed to be easy and it will be easier to enjoy it having struggled a bit on the way, right?

Now I just need some luck, hard work (I guess), determination, courage and the vision that “nothing’s impossible”

If you can help me to make it happen faster I will be here at your disposal.

I think you should change "nothing's impossible" to "everything's possible"!

Interesting point...

However, to say that everything’s possible is a little bit cocky imo whilst “nothing’s impossible” is more saying that I am aware about the difficulties BUT that I know that it can be done… What do you think?

Its about mystery,imagination and magic.

I think that by saying “everything is possible” is acknowledging the fact that you can’t conceive all the possibilities that could exist in the world.That we don’t know everything. That things could get even better then what they allready are.

What you have asked for in a job is so brilliant that one could think that it couldn’t get any better but how do you know? There is so much to this world that we don’t know , anything is possible. I guess nothings impossible fits in there quite well too , doesn’t it? Its definitely more scientific and “correct”. 

But i like the way nothings impossible is an acknowledgment and acceptance that things can be difficult but its not a resistance against difficulty which could block good things happening. Its like saying out loud " I know there will be hard times but bring it on!"

“nothings impossible” or “anything s possible. Either way after reading your entry i don’t doubt that you will find your perfect job! Congratulations on figuring out what you want from a job, thats definitely an important step towards getting it!

Spot on...

I could not have said it better myself.

I like especially the “bring it one” part. That is really how it should be. You need to be strong at all times to keep it up though. By defining the goal I am on my way, but at the same time I am not. Right now I am in the safe lane, which eventually might take me to the goal but surely not fast enough. I need to find a short cut. You seem to have some answers. Can you lead me the way?

The safe lane IS the search of the shortest route...

the dangerous lane ( i would like to call it the “all embracing” lane), so to speak, is the journey to the goal.

Embracing where you are right now,trusting that you will find the perfect job or it will find you is the hardest part ,it is the part that will challenge you the most and the part where you will learn so much.Even embracing the part of you that isn’t strong all the time. You don’t have to be strong to get to where you want to go you just need to stay true to your self. Which isn’t so easy and i guess you do need to be strong and persistant to remain connected with that self.

In the end ,the dangerous lane  will become the shortest route because that is where you will find this job. By trying to look for answers  as to where the short route is now you might be missing the lessons that could actually lead you to the job.
  I think you should try to create all this laughter, love and freedom you want in a job , in your life right now.

I’m sorry , i just re read this and it seems as though i’m lecturing you. I’m really just sharing my thoughts. I don’t like using the word “should”. I don’t have anyones answers but the ones i’ve discovered in my life and this is just what i’m sharing with you.
Maybe it will help? Either way it is interesting to hear different ideas i guess!

Also,I can't lead you!!! My ego thinks it was sweet of you to ask though! I wouldn't know how to and i just couldn't. It is your own path of discovery!  Anything can happen! Have fun!
