Light in the darkness
by Robert G Parent

I want to talk about the times we live in now, everyone is saying recession, tough economic time, job market low, housing markets, and stock markets woes. All people see is the darkness that is out there. Well maybe not all people. There are those in the financial business that understand cycles. Who say, "there is opportunity out there." I say their right.

I'm out of a job currently and have been looking for one in the past months. About three at the time of this writing. And you know, there are many jobs out there. There are companies still growing and need good people, which they have plenty to choose from. I have been interviewed for jobs in companies that could lead to management ( leadership roles ). Now, I've been thinking about this for some time now before my unemploynment, but didn't know how or have the opportunity to go after the leadership jobs. Looks like my next job will lead to leadership in one form or another. There is light in the darkness. Or maybe its best said, when you shine a light on your darkness ( your fears ), you see what is really there and also opportunity.

You can be at the very bottom, at least from your point of view in the metiphorical pit, the darkness, but, if you look around, shine a light on the darkness, you will see the opportunity out there. It can lead you out of capitivity, the captivity of our own fears, to a new land, a new place. Because its when you percieve yourself to be at your lowest, is when you can soar among the clouds. What it all boils down to is where do you want to put your attention, in the bucket of Crabs or soaring among the Eagles. The choice is each of ours.
