Thoughts on hope.
Many people in the cruise industry were furloughed in the last month. They've been told they could be brought back in 6 months. As a bonus, they get to keep their benefits.
Many people in situations like these are stuck.
Do they look for an entry-level job so that they can get by?
Do they start over?
But, if they do, what about their benefits?
What about their furloughed job, wouldn't it be there waiting for them?
The "safe" mindset is to "wait and see."
The "doing" mindset is to focus on you.
You can hope for a job.
You can also hope to be the change you want to see, to come alive - a job just happens to be a vehicle to get you to that point.
Which path is best for you?
