Contrasts

Why do I always feel like I am either floundering around aimlessly or a rat in a cage?!

What's wrong with this picture -

- Praying that I get made redundant so I can leave the company ( and collect benefits ) even though it's unlikely to happen

- Having no plan B for if I do get let go

- Having no plan B for if I don't get let go

-Not wanting to leave and not wanting to stay

You can only connect (the dots), looking backwards. You have to trust that the dots will somewhow connect in the future.
Believing that the dots will connect somewhere along the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well worn path and that will be all the difference.

Suit up

Indisputable fact #1:

Every male looks better in a well-fitted suit.

Even the worst dressed male in the world.

Makes me think twice every time.

Indisputable fact #2:

Every male can look hot with the right hair cut and a well-fitted suit.

Winning combination. Fool proof.

The reality

The opposite

This is the categoric description of someone who is not me.

It's the last line that gets me.

"I know exactly who I am."

But I know this person in real life.
