Around 1996 or so, I participated in Landmark Education's Commitment Seminar. I don't remember the fine points of the distinctions provided by that course, but I remember this: If you are committed to some result but you are making no progress toward it, there is a hidden commitment pulling you in a different direction.
I've been interested, off and on, for more than 20 years in getting a job as a UNIX or, now, Linux systems administrator. I've trained up. I've even administered, as a hobby, installations of Linux and networks of Linux/Microsoft machines.
But I could never get passed that stage. Something always ground me to a stop. I couldn't get a resume written such that anyone would higher me.
uncovering the hidden commitment is usually enough to have it disappear into thin air. So it is in this example.
This morning I have written my resume. It was simple to complete. And more than that, I didn't blanch at any of the descriptions of my qualifications and experience. I wrote a resume that in all particulars I feel capable. Who would have thought!
Damn, I'm having a fine day.
Love.
