You Do Not Need to Escape to Get the Life You Want
By: Harrison Barnes


Career Mission's Chief Executive Officer, A. Harrison Barnes discussed how happiness comes from within and not from objects outside of yourself.

Each and every one of us is seeking something. According to Harrison the worst sensation is to strive for something and, upon achieving it, to discover that it is empty for us. This happens because we all want the superficial outcomes. However, a car or a house does not make you a fuller person. What happens is that in seeking these things our brain tries to convince our subconscious that the trivial stuff matters. This ends up creating an internal struggle that really inhibits your ability to ever get anywhere.

What we all really want is a new life for ourselves. Well if you are planning an escape and seeking a new life, the chances are great that you are never going to find it the way you are going about it. You are using objects and circumstances outside of yourself to feel complete. This makes no sense and the exhilaration you attain can never last. Happiness and being complete need to come from within and not from without. You need to find who you are inside of yourself and not outside of yourself.

Our decisions need to be grounded in reality and you need to be the person you really want to be. In your life the most important thing you can do is become the person you are trying to be, instead of trying to get a different life through things, people, and circumstances outside of yourself.

You want a different life. Most people do. If this is really what you want then you need to go out there and get that life. You can achieve your dreams; just remember to look within yourself first, in order to assess what is truly important to you and your happiness.

Forbes Reports 151,352 Layoffs for January Itself; Employment Authority Proposes Alternative Job Search Approach

Pasadena, CA — According to a compilation by Forbes recently, there were 151,352 layoffs at America’s 500 largest public companies in the month of January. MORE


"There are always vacancies. Organizations are born, organizations expand, workers become restless, quit, change jobs, move, become ill long-term, or become handicapped, retire, or die. There are always jobs out there waiting to be filled. The fact that you can't find those jobs only means the vacancy hasn't been advertised, or you're not using the right method to find it. When the Internet or job-postings, or agencies, or ads, or resumes, don't work, there are other ways of turning up the job you want. So, if you're coming up 'empty,' you need to change the search method you've been using. ... To speed up your search for one of the jobs that are out there, go after many different organizations, instead of just one or two."
