Today I learned that you're gonna get lucky. I got a text today from an employer today asking me to come in to interview. I went in with the best intentions. Getting another job would increase my chances of paying off tuition and moving out. As the interview was being carried out it became clear that they needed someone pronto and I would fit right in. It’s a small job at a restaurant so it’s not anything special. But the fact that I was able to secure a job in this critical moment is something to think about. It seems obvious to me that by setting a goal and moving forward with the goal you satisfy the goals of others all by pursuing your own goal. I have extra hours to spare and could use some more cash so I put in an application at a local small restaurant. The manager of the restaurant needed somebody to work this Sunday and was happy to see my application. This idea that moving forward with my own goals benefits the world around me makes sense. Nothing occurs in a vacuum. People have wants and needs that need to be satisfied and their is much more of the world than there is of me. It just seems like if your making swift pace with your goals your gonna catch lucky breaks. Just by proximity and speed. Had I not seriously got into goal setting I would of never thought about submitting my application for this local restaurant job. This idea is kind of encouraging. Though I shouldn’t ever depend on wishful thinking it’s something to keep in the back of my mind that I’ll get lucky now and then. That’s not an excuse to be irresponsible or unprepared. But it’s motivating to know that just becuase were all complexly interconnected me pursuing my goals serendipitously aligns me with fulfilling the goals of others.
