What Forrest Gump and Kettlebells Have In Common With The Average American

By Greg Diener


In this ever changing landscape, it is never easy for any person in their field, along with figuring out where to turn at. Nothing ever goes where we want it to go, (I wanted to be a fireman as a kid) we never know where we are going to be as adults. You know that famous quote from the movie Forrest Gump rings true about life being a box of chocolates. It seems though for many people around the country, looking for a job seems like trying to lift kettlebells. Wait a minute, you might be saying just what are those, well here's the answer.

Think of your life up to this point as weightlifting, tediously toiling away to get through each day and slowly building up muscle. Lifting weights isn't always fun, but it takes programs, dedication, and work ethic. Still, after a while, going through the motions can become monotonous and you could not be seeing the outcomes you desire. Perhaps you're no longer interested in your chosen major at school or you find yourself stuck in the daily grind at a dead-end job. This is where kettlebells come in.

Most of you though are looking at this and asking to yourself "but what do they do?" Well it's very easy, kettlebells are shaped like a bowling ball with a handle on it. They require you to swing in a variety of different motions, which sets it apart from other traditional workouts. If you are considering a change in your life, this weight can let you become more creative.

People don't just want a job - they want a career path. Really, we would all like to be ready to find exactly what we want to most and get paid for the work we do. But it's not that straightforward - like a workout regimen, finding the appropriate fit for you could involve trial and error. Most importantly, you need to be flexible, motivated, and have the energy to keep going even when you want to give up. I bet the metaphor is beginning to make more sense now.

Whether you think of your existence and the search for a career in terms of heart-shaped boxes of chocolate or lifting weights at the gym, it's significant to remember that the decision isn't simplistic for anyone. If we could all be the astronauts, superheroes, and fairy princesses we dreamed of being as little kids, we would be. If we could all be happy in our first preferred career paths, we would be. Some of us our fortunate enough for that to happen, but for others it takes some trial and error. The crucial thing is to find your strengths and what makes you the happiest and stick with it.
