Didn't get the redundancy package I was looking for. That kinda balls things up a bit but Im still here and Im still going. I really made myself not build my hopes up about this route because I always knew that it would be a slim chance.
So it looks like Im working and looking for a job at the same time. Which is hard because I dont even have time to swear in my current position.
Found a great site for job searching(for Irish people) - www.dole.ie
It takes a lot of the Irish job sites and compiles a list of all the jobs available at that time in your county.
Was thinking a little bit today about positivity. Its strange. I was being very openly positive about getting my redundancy but it still didn't seem to influence my predicament one bit. Im always told to think positive and manifest it yourself. Is that more towards positively working yourself into a situation i.e doing the work yourself. It comes down to chance when its other peoples decision. How we influence that person is the key me thinks!
If you influence the person positively you should get a positive reaction right? Riddle me this....
What if that person is an asshole?
Fighting fire with fire never works....apparently. Fighting fire with positivity is difficult. Im aware that the person is an AH and Im aware that the person needs to be tip toed around but I still want results damn it!
I gotta think more about how to tackle this person positively. Il post more soon.
They re-released all the Beatles albums....Awesome!

Something to choose from
After a long morning of searching the net for lifes answers I have come to a stop. There is too many sites that are built to point you in a direction but still tell you you would be a good dog groomer!
Eventually I just wrote down all the skills I believe I have. It was around 15 or so. After that I rated them between 1-10 on how important they were to me. I thought about it a little and then eliminated anything below 5. Thought about it some more and eliminated anything below 8 and I was left with 8 skills I know I can use. I know that seems awfully simple but I really took the time to consider each option. We think a lot about ourselves dont we!
I think people fool themselves into believing that they are something they are not. We have/ I have fantastic views of myself/ourselves. The more I think about it the more "awareness" seems to be the key in finding one's self. Aware of who you really are and what you really can do. Being realistic is something I find hard to do. Jesus I still daydream all the time of silly situations that I come out on top on.
I have a very active imagination.
When I really think about it going back to college isnt in my grasp at this time. As much as I imagine being there and getting down to it I have left it too late to apply this year. I imagine the situations and get obsessed with it. Realistically I cant afford too either. Im aware Im broke and Im aware I left it too late so I need to stop daydreaming about it.
Can you be a daydreamer and realistic at the same time? I guess i could use my active imagination to create a path to follow but being a millionaire by 25 is out of the question unless I win the lotto. ha.....wait.......maybe I could think of a lotto scheme........Stop, stop, stop!! Get back imagination!! Down boy.

The first of many
Wow, seems a little daunting setting up a blog but I have been putting it off for too long. For those who will visit my blog welcome.
Im setting off on a big "discover myself" journey and I want to share it. I work for a retail company that I hate, not on a "god I 'f' ing hate all of this" but Im being treated like a dog and I believe in myself more than that.
Im setting out to discover who I am and what I can achieve. Its hard you know. Im 23 and I have come to a cross-roads on my life. I feel like I need to act now before I get lost and have no purpose. Where do you start with self discovery? I read today that to understand who you are you have to find your purpose and to find your purpose you must understand reality......young grasshopper....
What I took from it was that you must understand your own reality, find where you belong in you're own life. Purpose is direction, decision and concious awareness of the decisions you make. If you make subconscious decisions I believe you might end up in a place you dont recognise and have no idea how you got there.
Im a man who has always landed on my feet in what ever direction I jumped in. This time Im trying to pick where to land and its not easy. I have to make some serious decisions - go back to college? take on a new career? become a working drone? fill my life with money? Picking what to do for the rest of you're life is no easy decision.
"Well why dont you get up off your ass and do something" I hear you ask! Well I plan on some serious searching tomorrow/today(its late here) Il will let you know of my findings......
Isnt it "pirate day" today or something?
