Mastering Your Quest

Today I went on a job interview. It was very standard and I wasn’t at all sure of getting the job. However, I discovered something else while I was there. I had a chance to be reminded of some of the progress I’ve made on my Quest. The interviewer asked about what I had done while I was out of work. While I was job hunting I explored some options that I had always wanted to. I started explaining what I had accomplished and tried to high light the skills I had used during those projects. After the interview ended I was driving home and suddenly it hit me. I had done some impressive things during my job free period. True, I still needed a day job to tide me over. Even so, I had put together some web businesses, started a writing business, created some blogs, gotten paying customers, and gotten a good grasp on the next direction my life should take. I was proud of my efforts and a little impressed. I’d done better than I thought I did. It was very ego building. I just did those things and didn’t relate how they looked. I think that this is true of everyone. You just do and don’t look at the score much. Sit down sometimes and look at your history. You are greater than you give yourself credit for. Feed your confidence a little by seeing your strengths. It will make your next step on your Quest easier and your results better.
