We had a great meeting last night at GEN. Businessman Lance Brooks spoke to the group about staying motivated and positive during the job search. Basing his discussion on the book of Mark, chapter 5, Lance gave us these points to think about:
1. Don't fear. The first thing Jesus told a little girl's parents, when they came to him to ask for her healing, was, "don't fear." God wants us to go through our job search without fear, too, simply trusting Him to deliver us--because He will.
2. Only believe. Jesus also told the parents of the child to believe. Let's not hope we get a job when we go to an interview, Lance said. Let's believe!
3. Surround yourself with positive people.
4. Speak life into your dream. Keep yourself encouraged by thinking and speaking positively. You will get a job!
5. Feed your miracle. Do your research. Strategize. See how others succeeded in starting a new business, finding a new career, etc, and follow their examples. Get out and stay busy.
Thanks again to Lance for coming!
