It seems to me that each of us can decide to focus on doing the best job at every moment, to stay rooted in the present time. To live in the future, anxious about the possibility of calamity, is to live among ghosts that have never lived, just as dwelling on the past, among dusty memories that no longer have form, may cause one's attention to wander and to set the stage for disaster. To live in the present is to give 100% at each moment, to place one foot in front of the next, confident in the knowledge of knowing how to walk. If the chosen path is the right one, you will know it and so will others, who see how you are harnessing energy that comes from doing something you love. To do this is to live in love and not fear. There will be no need for regrets or sadness, as decisions are being made with the best information you have at each step along the path. There will be no need for self-doubts and negative expectations, as your decision to live in the now will have allowed you to offer all of your creative power for success that is of the heart and mind and soul and body.

If the job you take is one where you can do 100% of the requirements, there is no room for learning more, and there cannot be challenge nor growth nor fun. A prospective employer who expects you to do 100% from the very first day would not be enlightened, and the fire of your creative energy will be doused eventually with the waters of incompetence ... theirs, not yours. The job interview process is a two-way street. You must use it as an opportunity to learn if the people with whom you are to work are as enlightened as you. I have found that 90% of the people I meet are enlightened. Pretty high percentage, don't you think?    — Bob Corbin • April 2, 2005
