Sometimes you just have to let life lead you. If you tell it what you want, open yourself up to receiving exactly that.
Last week, I had a bad day so I took the following day off from work. I just wasn’t going to push myself too hard. I spent that morning surfing the Internet, including Craigslist.
Previously, I had been thinking about trying to find some freelance work that would help me learn more about marketing for the Internet, which is an interest of mine. I hadn’t really thought too hard about that possibility, and I sure didn’t go out of my way looking for it.
But then I stayed home and surfed Craiglist. And there I ran across an ad posted by a local Internet marketer. Although the job wasn’t exactly what I was looking for, I applied anyway. I didn’t really want to get a new job, just some side work.
As it turns out, my application to that job has shaped itself into some freelance work that will let me learn more about Internet marketing. Just what I had been thinking about.
Now I am not saying that we should just sit on our butts waiting for life to drop things in our laps. Just be open to serendipity and you may be surprised how often it shows up.
