Even with the economic conditions here in the States, specifically the employment situation, many still seem to be charmed by security.  I'm alluding to security in the form of career\/work.  Now certainly, some have all but concluded that security is a myth.  But I find many career\/work pilgrims are disturbed by current trends.<\/p>\n

I used to be in that group, but am now a freak of the not-so-weird variety.  Why?  I entered my period of mass disruption almost 4 years ago.  Back then many felt certain about the future.  Now…<\/p>\n

Well, let's face it, life (all things in) has never been certain.  And that's part of our problem.  We bought the marketing message of "too big to fail."  I know we're better off with a sense of not taking anything for granted.  Especially since that's the way business and life were supposed to be conducted\/lived.  Leaders of the highly developed nature know this to be true.<\/p>\n

We just haven't done a good job at handling success and good times.<\/p>\n

Now's the time to embrace uncertainty and insecure times.  Watch your values shift and find out what right alignment is all about.  I think the following might open up for you:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. God knows what he's doing.<\/li>\n
  2. Family and relationships trump everything but #1.<\/li>\n
  3. You don't need as much as you think (trust me, the economy will be ok).<\/li>\n
  4. You'll demand more of your organization.  For example, your paid for your results, not your time.<\/li>\n
  5. Taking a pay cut in order to do something impacting will seem right as rain.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
