I am a strong believer that when you are not looking for something, it just happens. When you actively seek things out (i.e., jobs, love, success, etc.) it always seems to be a more difficult process. You end up working hard trying to accomplish your goal and focusing a lot of energy on trying to obtain your objective. In the end, you either are successful or disappointed. I have found that sometimes, when you are not actively searching, life just drops in your lap. Whether its a new job opportunity (which happened to me in April 2008), a new love interest (my last girlfriend when I used to live in San Diego), or a promotion (this one doesn’t apply since I have always worked towards this)…it always seems that when you don’t look, life just falls into place.
This past week I was doing group interview with a bunch Business Students from various Universities, and someone asked me what my theme song would be. I have to admit it took me a second to think about it, but I would say my new theme song is Michael Bublé’s “Haven’t Met You Yet”. I consider it is very fitting that it can metaphorically be anything that relates to not seeking those opportunities and letting them just fall in your lap. In this case, to be honest, I have realized I have lived my past 2 years keeping people at arms length and out of my inner defenses (i.e., friends, girls I dated, etc.). And as some of previous blog posts have hinted, I need to start being less defensive about relationships in general and just let things happen, instead of actively avoiding or sabotaging them. So…while I work on living more in the moment and not being so overly analytical…enjoy Michael Bublé – “Haven’t Met You Yet” official video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AJmKkU5POA or watch it here:
