The Job Search vs. The Job Get

A new college graduate walks in for a job interview. She's nervous and has massive amounts of energy exuding from her. She's prepared and her essence is giving off the vibe I want to be a _______. If you hire me I'll be a great ________.

30 minutes later a woman walks into the interview room. Grounded. Nothing to prove. Her essence exudes competence and she's giving off the vibe I am a ________. And I'm a great _____. And I've been doing _____. It is who I am take it or leave it.

The college graduate gives away her power. The second woman owns her power and already has it so she doesn't even need to take it.

It's the difference between wanting to do, hoping to do and doing. It's the difference between talking about it, thinking about it and the action of actually doing it. One is potential. The other is action. The world needs more action. The world needs more people who own their power. As the Nike ad says...Just do it.
