Why Losing Your Job Could Be The Best Thing Ever!

I can't imagine anything much more shocking to a man's system than losing a job.  Losing a job can leave us feeling betrayed and worthless. So many of us identify ourselves with what we do for a living and what we obtain with our earnings. 

The reality of each of us getting that unpleasant news is more and more practical.  Our turbulent economy has contributed to an unemployment rate consistently hovering around 10%. With that many people out of work, we have recently provided simple tips on how to deal with job loss and finding a job.  

There are some people who are determined to use their job loss as a launching pad for something better and/or more meaningful. These folks adopt the familiar saying, "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade". I recently came across a very interesting and thought provoking movie that highlight a few of these people. 

Lemonade is a movie about 16 advertising professionals who lost their jobs. The reality of the job loss gave them the courage to follow their true passions.

Whether you have dealt with job loss or just plain wish you could be working in an area that you are more passionate about, I encourage you to invest 35 minutes into watching this movie.

After you watch, please let us know your thoughts about the movie and your current employment situation in the comment section.
