Now, I will not stop looking for the next, better, job. Does that make sense? Too often — as I said earlier on — we stop looking.

What am I doing?” and we do tend to say “Ahhhh” thank goodness. I don’t need to worry about that anymore.” But I encourage you, don’t do that, because what will happen is, you will be blindsided by something that’s totally outside your control and won’t have prepared for what is really an eventuality for all of us.
