Lifestyle Trends
What is Yours?
Lifestyle trends when it came to business use to be...
Decide what you want to do and go do it!Become the best you can at what you do. I myself bought into that for over twenty years, until I was downsized. By the way it was the best thing that ever happened to me! You see a guy like me was called a "Jack of All Trades!" and that use to be an insult! Until I looked it up and found that is only part of the saying. The entire saying goes like this... "Jack of all trades, master of none, though
often times better than master of one!" When I read this Motto, it changed my life. I started looking into my life a lot differently and found that I really love who I am and what I am becoming. My next step was to find out all I could about not just this lifestyle, but a lot of lifestyle trends. I found that the average person could not relate to people like me and so I was degraded and put down. Yet when it came to having to produce,
Do you know who they came too?Are you like me? Do you feel like you want to learn about so many different things. You feel like if you settle for a JOB you may lose out on something else? Or you are going or went to school and never really found your major? And to top it all off, you don't get any respect? What is going on is our culture has grown up to respect specialists. People that have taken the years to perfect a JOB and now can do it in their sleep.
That's Not For Me!
I would go nuts trying to stay with one subject for that many years. I was lucky while I was in the corporate business world, as the JOBS I had kept changing or I created something different within them without even knowing it. Many times the career testing showed I was open to so many different careers that the consultants would say you have to decide which one you want, and there lies the problem, and besides this is not one of the lifestyle trends because it is not the norm. People like myself can not decide which career to chose as we want it all and the people around use want to fence us in and that just couldn't happen anymore. If you're like me "Jack of All Trades" you have talents that will be noticed. Robert Frost wrote a poem about us that goes like this... | "A scholar is someone who sticks to something. A poet is someone who uses whatever sticks to him." |
We have extraordinarily special and valuable skills. Loving new things, ideas, and thoughts. And the most important thing is that living in this way, will assist in never suffering from fear or indecisiveness.As being a "Jack of All Trades" you will find yourself highly adaptable to new cultures, being able to stop and begin another activity at a moments notice. Being a lightening fast learner you're always looking for something new. Many take this as a lack of IQ or discipline, but the exact opposite is really true. You are dedicated to learning anything and everything you can. Being intelligent enough to enjoy everything you learn. I found myself earlier writing about adversity and what I discovered is to except myself as a "Jack of All Trades" or to live in one of the new
Lifestyle Trends I had to learn to work through adversity.
Once I did I now love being a "Jack of All Trades"! I love how this is the beginning of another of the lifestyle trends! Are You A
"Jack of All Trades"?
