Introduction
The Parachute Approach demands that you do an inventory of who you are and what you love to do, before you set out on your search for (meaningful) work.
Being out of work, or thinking about a new job or career, should speak to your heart. It should say something like this:
Use this opportunity. Make this not only a hunt for a job, but a hunt for a life. A deeper life, a victorious life, a life you re prouder of.
The world currently is filled with workers whose weeklong cry is, When is the weekend going to be here? And, then, Thank God it s Friday! Their work puts bread on the table but . . . they are bored out of their minds. They ve never taken the time to think out what they uniquely can do, and what they uniquely have to offer to the world. The world doesn t need any more bored workers. Dream a little. Dream a lot.
