The Power of Resistance in Your Career and Life
By: Harrison Barnes


Career Mission's Chief Executive Officer, A. Harrison Barnes, in a webinar discussed the power of resistance and the tremendous impact it has on your life and career.

Each day of your life, you struggle with numerous choices you have to make and one of the most difficult ones is to resist pursuits of immediate gratification. Such pursuits lure you towards making severe mistakes. Once you learn to resist such temptations it will eventually lead to your success, happiness, and long term fulfillment.

Harrison believes that in order to reach considerable heights you need to resist doing many things which may seem unimportant and negligible. For instance, you need to resist talking negatively about others, being judgmental, having negative beliefs about what you can accomplish, and being lazy. You also need to come out of the ‘I’ feeling and start listening to what ‘others’ have to say, giving credit to ‘others’, being kind and sharing, looking beyond yourself, and very importantly, learning not to control every situation and person that you are connected to.

Resistance is one of the most powerful forces you can use in your life. The harder you work at resisting, the stronger and more successful you will become.  The more you embrace resistance and learn to use it in your life, the more fulfilling your life and career will be.

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."
