Tom was the type of guy that always knew what it was that he wanted in life, so he believed. He would go to the nearest pub and drink and dance with the girls and make a lot of noise that told everyone there that he was one of the good guys. But Tom was not satisfied with his life. He wanted more, as most of us due. What is a person to do? The $64000 question!
I know that some people in this world have a pat answer to Tom’s questions and problem, but is it the answer that Tom would go for? Not all problems in this world are answered by religion. Not all questions in life can be answered on a psychiatrist couch. Some answers must come from within the individual, and yet, answers are sometimes hard to come by no matter what a person does to try and get them.
Some would say you should meditate on it. Others would say, you should pray, while others would just look at you and say and do nothing. How can a person get the answers they need to their questions when there are no answers. Believe it or not, no answer is sometimes is the only good answer for it tells us to just stand back and let things work themselves out. In most cases, this is the best way to handle a problem.
However, we as humans cannot just sit around and wait for answers to suddenly pop into our heads, or come out of the woodwork, so to speak, and make everything OK. It just doesn’t work that way. We need to think. Think about all the facts, pros and cons of a matter and try to come up with our own answer(s) that will make sense and be just what is needed.
Tom did find an answer to his problem, but it took six months for it to happen. Now Tom is working for another company and has a position that suited him fine. What happened? Well, Tom saw that the answer to the problem was not in his education or abilities, but in his attitude. He changed his attitude and then changed jobs. The new company was progressive and always looking for people who could come up with new ideas that would produce new products that the company could produce. This was something that Tom could do and do well.
In life, we often need to evaluate our lives and study the way in which we look at things and make a determination as to whether or not we are really doing all the things we want or need to do. If not, we need to make the changes that will put us on the right track. Even if it “takes forever”, so they say.
