Life is a Test. And sometimes Life with throws a “Reality Ball” at you to make you realise the impermanence of the illusion of - job security -. Nothing is forever. And although it is traumatic and scary at the start - these situations force you to reassess, “Who am I now?” “What do I actually want to do?” “Was my last job taking more time away from my family?” “What do I want?” “What’s best for my family?” A lot of people are living on auto-pilot. Day in, day out, everyday is the same. Days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months, months turn into years. And then it’s only by the time they reach approximately 50/60 (or retirement age) years when life finally quietens down, do they stop, reflect and contemplate the life they’ve been living. But by then, it’s too late to change their ways, and there’s no way to re-write the past once they find the - regrets -. 40 is still hella young when you think of the average life span of the human being, and for one who is in good health. The trauma in the beginning is rough (and believe me, I understand). But the CLARITY that comes out of it, when enough time has passed and you can now look back in retrospect? It is Life Changing. This is the reality majority of the people of the world (especially in the West & Asia (e.g. China/Taiwan/Japan/Korea) are living in: https://youtu.be/e9dZQelULDk?si=ujmRzziDI5bK9SE4 And they’re deep in the Illusion of the Rat Race. A lot of people wire their identity to their job and profession too. And so when their job or career is removed from them - that’s when the existential crisis hits -. “Who am I without this job”? Our jobs don’t define us. Our humanity and character does. So, do what you gotta do to make money to pay the bills, feed the family. And maybe go through recruitment agencies to help assist you finding work - so the pressure is not all on you. But in the meantime, take this season as a gift to be able to chill out and reassess your life and what you want. Focus on your health and fitness and the answers and opportunities will come.

Sensory Deprivation Tanks (Floating) will bring a lot of relief to your spine. “People Experiencing Chronic Pain: For individuals suffering from chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia, arthritis, or back pain, float tank therapy can provide relief. By removing the sensation of gravity, float tanks reduce the strain on joints and muscles, offering a natural form of pain management. Unlike other pain relief methods, float tank therapy is non-invasive and doesn’t rely on medications, making it a holistic option for those seeking long-term solutions for pain”. For me personally, I use it as a natural treatment to manage my Complex-PTSD.

There’s no more such thing as - job security - anymore. Whether traditional or “entrepreneurial”, nothing is a sure thing these days. I’ve relied solely on my networking skills in the past few years to get my foot in the door into anything - or to create opportunities. My strategy is building genuine and authentic relationships and then letting hope and faith take the lead. When you’re in alignment with your purpose - everything just falls into place organically.

Yeap. I was told a lot of job advertisements are to make the company - appear - they’re in “demand” when they’re really not. It’s more to do with the illusory image that they are in demand to appease investors or what not. Then the scammer ones have your data (I.e. email) and blow up inbox with scam-mail. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Probably best to go through legitimate Recruitment agencies nowadays.

Maybe just use some wit and sarcasm and say, “This is the result of a skilled human writer. Human writers are used to train A.I to write. So I guess you need to ask yourself what aligns with your companies ethos. Would you prefer fake or authentic?”
