The Four Views of Life<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Life is like a flower that blooms once<\/strong> – my grandfather and father each had one career, each working for the same company, each for 30+ years.<\/p>\n

2. Life is like a flower that blooms annually <\/strong>– Some people go from job to job to job remaining in the illusion of security that comes with the employee mindset. <\/p>\n

3. Life is like a snake <\/strong>– life events cause your skin to toughen up and become uncomfortable – intermittently causing you to shed the tough skin of who you are and make a big effort to shed the parts that aren’t working anymore. For many this means going back to school, getting a new degree, new career, new job, maybe self employed.<\/p>\n
