Always making sure that I have some type of prospect lined up. With the way the economy and the job market, among other things, is going, it can be extremely hard to keep your hopes up and make sure there is a purpose for you to get out of bed. There's little else in my opinion that's worse than feeling helpless; having no control over situations that almost seem hopeless. Always have to find ways to continuously make sure I am keeping busy, motivated, working, and have something to look forward to down the road whether it's a new job, getting together with my friends, going out with a girl, or simply engaging in an activity that horns my mind and body. As long as I don't feel helpless and have something to look forward to, I am content, but it's getting more difficult in this day and age with the competitive job market and failing economy.
