You`ll never find the perfect job until you focus on it.

Now I know that sounds a bit much but it’s true.

Am I telling you to go up to the boss, stomp your feet on the floor, and demand that you`ll be given a raise and a promotion?

No, I`m not.

If you were to do that you`ll probably be given the sack from your job instead.

But if you are seeking your perfect job or promotion you`ll have to believe you deserve it and that’ll you get it. Now that sounds easier said than done. But it’s the only way to do it.

Why?

Because it works.

In 2008 the great world recession occurred. I thought I was prepared if something went wrong but in reality, I wasn’t. Although I’d been a child of the 1980’s I knew when those older than me left school many of them had to go overseas to try to get work for themselves because there was no work available for those people.

I remember watching television and seeing queues of people in huddles all waiting to get job interviews.

And of course, not every one of them got an interview and few of them got jobs. Then you`d see television clips of them in airports leaving the country and going overseas. And every one of them was in search of a better life.

Each one of them felt they had no choice but to go.

Times were tough and people had to do something if they wanted to get a start in life.

By the time 2008 happened though I was older than many of these people. At that stage, many of them had spent a couple of decades overseas. They’d worked their socks off and had earned good money.

But unlike many of those people I was fortunate enough to be highly educated as I`d spent my late teens and early working to put myself in a better position for employment than many of my competitors.

Yet when it came to the crunch and the remains of the 2008 recession came to pass I found myself in a fix.

I was unable to get a job.

No matter what I seemed to do and no matter where I was prepared to go nothing good was happening for me. I went from here to there and tried my best. But nothing I did worked.

And when things didn’t work I didn’t work.

Without work, I`d have no money.

It felt very personal but rationality I knew it wasn’t.

It was simply professional.

Initially, when things went badly on the wider economic front I like most people reacted in making sure I kept an eye on the industry of work that I was in. I started applying to positions I knew I`d have a great chance of being employed in. But I got no word back on any of them.

Then as things rumbled on and each nightly news bulletin started painting a bleaker picture of the economy at large I worked hard and started applying to more and more positions.

And the more jobs I applied to the fewer replies I got.

Although I was trying to be ahead of others by preparing for the inevitability of there being less work in a few months all it gave to me was a feeling that things were going to get worse and worse for me the longer and deeper we went into recession.

That’s when I knew I was doing things very wrong.

I knew I needed to check in with my focus.

Because our focus comes from what we allow into our brains. And what and how we focus on things will change the outcome of our lives. This is achieved through the reticular activating system (RAS).

Such is the power of the reticular activating system that it affects most other systems in our brains.

It enhances our attentive state in our cortex and facilitates the conscious perception of outside stimuli.

The reticular activating system is not only about your waking time because it controls your sleep too. And when you`re aware it is aware of whether you are in fight or flight mode. The system signals our wake and sleep cycle but it also helps us respond to the world that’s around us.

And looking back on that early time of the recession I was allowing doubts to creep into my sleep time as well.

From a technical point of view regarding the RAS, there is a stimulus that activates the reticular activating system via the thalamus of our brains and this then goes to the cortex. From there arousal influences our spinal cord. That’s when we notice how people’s posture changes.

And these changes can result in a startle response.

A startle response mostly occurs unconsciously. It’s a defensive response to what we feel is a threatening stimulus that happens quite suddenly.

And being defensive towards things never allows you to receive the things you truly want to receive.

So as I was aware I needed to address my bigger picture I did.

Instead of being a slave to the ‘what ifs’, ‘the buts’, and the ‘maybes’ of the receding economy I focused on the ideal type of work that was out there and told myself I`d only apply to that perfect job if and when it came up.

Then I did something else, something that kept my mind occupied and in a positive manner.

And the result?

Well, out of nowhere the ideal job for me was advertised. I applied to it, got an interview, and spent the next couple of years in the perfect position for me at that time.

So know your focus and trust it will bring you to where you need to go no matter what the external forces around you.
