I lost my Job a year and a half ago and I liked it! I am still seeking for my dream job!

Hello Co-creators

I don’t know why I am in front of my computer writing this blog post, but I felt the necessity to do it. This is the first time in my life that I write on a blog.

I have a lot of books in my bookcase waiting to be read but “accidentally” ☺ I saw Lilou Mace videos in Youtube that led me to buy her book. “I lost my job and I liked it”

After obtaining my bachelor degree in Architecture and my Masters in Real Estate Development I started working at my dad’s company in Argentina. I was really unhappy because I had to do everything my dad’s way. One day I came home and I told my wife, who by the way was pregnant, I quit! I couldn’t stand that situation any more, I wanted to be free, to be myself. It was hard for my father and for me to separate the father-son relation at work and I decided that I needed to explore other venues. What’s next? MIAMI.

We came to Miami in 2002 with my wife and my 7-month Daughter (she is 7 now). We are still living in Miami with our two daughters, Delfina (7) and Juana (3).

I found a job at a Development Company since my background is in Real Estate Development. I was earning a lot of money but I felt like in prison. Last year I started to see the real estate crisis, especially in Miami, and I thought that my job was at risk and I decided to obtain an advanced project management certification at Stanford University. I believed that those credentials would eventually could open doors in other industries.I couldn't find a job yet...! I was really boring at my job and I wasn’t happy at all. The only thing that I enjoyed was that I rode my bike to get there and I had time to practice Taekwon-do, which is one of my passions.

Two month after that I lost my job because the company went bankrupt. I got sacked! They owe me a lot of money but I didn’t want to start a legal dispute and I decided to look forward. I felt the taste of freedom! Again What’s next!!

This time things happened at a much lower peace. A year and a half has gone since I lost my job and I haven’t found a new one yet, but I still asking for guidance. I am looking for my dream job and for that reason, I guess, her book landed in my hands.

I sent tons of resumes to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar, Argentina, Malaysia, Caribbean, etc. I don’t know why but I advanced in many of those opportunities but at certain point they disappeared or they told me sorry we found another candidate, or you are too senior for the role or too junior… etc, etc.

Yesterday another “great opportunity” turned off. Why? I don’t know… maybe it wasn’t for me or it wasn’t so great at all, but its hard to see it right now. I know that I wasn't passionate about that job but the income was really good and a big step forward in my career. (This is what I perceive at this time but for some reason that door closed)

A friend of mine, who is a psychic, once told me that she was seeing me turning in circles without seeing the door that it was opened to me. Things happen for a reason and I may be pushing to much in an area that I am not interested in working any more, but my fears are sticking me to what I used to do: project management and real estate development. One of the best performers industries in todays' market! ☺☺☺

I’ve been blessed with this forced sabbatical year. I made a shift in my life and I started to awaken. It was like a turning point and I am so thankful for the things that happened to me and for all the things that I have.

My wife and I are both Reiki Masters and we do a lot of distant healing. I do a lot of meditation to calm my anxiety but I have good and bad days. I also practice the law of attraction and the teachings of Abraham and the Course in Miracles.

My fife and I would like to create a foundation to help small kids to grow up without fear and with spirituality, without attachments to material and exterior things, to be free. We will help them to keep their innocence while growing, maintaining their creativity without any judgment and to spend their lives doing something for other people, without expect anything in exchange.

Children are our inspiration and we have a deep desire to help them growing up, knowing that they are powerful, amazing divine beings and they may inspire many kids and adults with their good attitudes, positivism and love.

Through hands-on, onsite education and assistance Amacanda’s dreams (That’s the name of the project) will work with kids and parents with social needs that require immediate support in order to be inserted in this competitive world. We will teach them powerful ways to open up their hearts and minds for the foundations of good character, self-confidence and a promissory future. Early Stimulation and healthy feeding are our main pillars to achieve our mission. (You can see all my vision boards that I posted on this social network)

Amacanda will also teach parents and kids with access to different channels of communication such as internet, books, CD’s, videos, etc, the sense of social responsibility that kids need to acquire to become sensitive and humanitarian leaders that will spend their lives doing something for other people, knowing that they will have in their hands the possibility to create opportunities for marginal people and creating both a more just and peaceful world. They will be the ones that will help our plan to unfold and expand beyond our primary areas of action.

I sent a draft of our project to Dr. Wayne Dyer and Dr. Deepak Chopra. Two weeks later I received a Fedex from Dr. Dyer with a note and his video “ The Shift” He didn’t mention anything about my project but I felt inspired. He inspired me a lot! I tried to contact him again, but I couldn’t reach him.

When I lost my job I also had the temptation to return to Argentina where my family live but that was the easy way and I decided to stay. I often have this temptation but I deeply know that it is not an option.

I think that careers might not be for our entire life, regardless of the time that took us to graduate for College, Masters and PHD. If I think that if I want now to be a scuba diver I don’t want to get stuck to my past and my experience. Risky? Perhaps?

This is where I am right now, worried about my financial situation, with the temptation to return to my country, with the temptation to continue sending resumes to companies and jobs that I don’t like but where I think I have more chances to get a job to pay my bills, earn big money and maintain my family.

But I know that it will be hard to find my dream job there. I am asking for guidance every day, I meditate a lot but I need to control my fears, my anxiety, my mind and my ego to continue being in the flow. I want a job where I can be creative, where I can contribute to make a change in the world. I desire to have a job that I can feel passionate about it, that makes me feel free and earn enough money to afford everything I desire and to share my wealth and help others.

At this moment I feel a little stuck. I am asking for guidance but it’s hard to see the light when so many doors closed in your face. I know that everything happens for some reason but it’s hard to be deaf to the reality. I feel like I don’t have more time to find my dream job and I also have my family weight on my back.

I don’t know why I felt the willingness to write this blog post but I didn’t think a lot and I am just sending it out.

I am starting the 100-days- challenge!

Many blessings for everyone!

Namaste

Francisco
