The world doesn’t pay for what you know, but for………. - By Dan Miller

Remember though, you do have the daily choices: you can either convince yourself you are looking into an empty future, or you can believe that a better opportunity awaits you. I frequently tell clients that the distance between terror and exhilaration, between hope and hopelessness is often a fine line. Remember that frustration in or even losing a job is simply God’s prod to go on to a higher level of success. Here are 10 tips on how to cope after a job loss:

--- Find selective places to talk honestly about your feelings.

--- Increase your knowledge about the job-search process.

--- Define what you can control and what you cannot control.

--- Live each day fully. Take a fresh look at the success you have in areas other than work.

--- Do something for someone else. Volunteer time to worthy causes or organizations.

--- Build your own support system. Ask for help. Don’t hide out in the library all day and never let your neighbors know you are looking.

--- Do something creative. Joanne and I sometimes work on big jig-saw puzzles. You’ll find energy for the search if you give yourself creative breaks.

--- Maintain exercise and good nutrition.

--- Maintain hope and optimism. Set achievable daily and weekly goals. Do physical projects where you can see the results immediately.

--- Look for the larger meaning in this transition process.
