How Committed Are You?

Time for a few words from deep inside my heart.

We live in a temporary world.

One where we say yes and pledge to something yet we keep an eye out for something better.

I’ve seen it happen in peoples marriages and I’ve seen it happen in peoples careers.

It’s the grass is greener syndrome that tells us what we have is not what will make us happy, so we need to be on the look out for something or someone better.

Problem is that the person that is with you where ever you go in life is still yourself.

Sometimes we call it restlessness.

And sometimes it is okay to look for something else, especially in the employment world where things seem to be very fickle.

I have done this for years.  For decades.

When I started on the air as a radio disc-jockey in my teens, I was always looking to move up to a bigger station, a better gig.  That was the way it worked in show business.

It worked.  I went from overnights in a city of 25,000 to evenings in a neighboring town of 50,000 in a year.  My next move was back to overnights, but I was on the Big Dog at the time, back in Fort Wayne where I grew up but on the most popular radio station.

I later ended up on the air in Indianapolis and Detroit.

Fast forward to 2012.

A few years ago Monster.com set up a free service that would send you daily emails with job postings that matched the criteria you asked for.  I have been getting these emails for 3 or more years.

I finally unsubscribed and deleted my information from their site.

I really like my job.  I don’t want to look.  Let those that are looking keep looking, but not me.

This is my commitment.  Do you need do solidify any commitments in your life?
