Yesterday I looked in the newspaper job listings. There was not a single job for which I was qualified but not overqualified. I'm not looking for a job. Getting a job is more of a back-up plan in case my plans for self-employment don't pan out.
So now what? What if I fail as a writer and mediator and discover that I need a real job? What if I can't get a real job? These are the questions that woke me up at 5:00 a.m. The answer came to me like a premonition. The little voice in my head said: "Do meaningful work."
My mission is clear. Even if no one hires me or buys what I have to sell I must continue to do meaningful work. Meaningful work feeds the soul. Perhaps this is the part of myself I need to be concerned with feeding.
