For months I have talked with friends about getting a part-time job in automation, but within days I would find another reason to avoid taking that step. Two days ago I had a big epiphany while at the gym as to why I keep changing my mind.
There I was stretching after a workout and a really attractive younger woman sat down and stretched next to me. Immediately my mind said "Even if she was interested, you can't afford to date her anyway, you need a stable income first."
It was at that point that a question bubbled to the surface “What if I’m using a lack of income as an excuse not to date so that I avoid any possibility of rejection?”
BOOM! Truth bomb!
Suddenly I realized that not getting a job had a secondary gain.
This was an ego protection mechanism.
This is why I see every reason, advantage, and strategy for how to get a job in automation, but I keep on postponing it.
But now I see through it. So this week, I will start scouting for my ideal part-time role and get back to fully enjoying life again, while growing MG OS on the side.
