A short conversational transcript from a YouTube video by Richard Canfield in which the speaker describes applying to multiple jobs across five different industries, repeatedly receiving interviews/offers but feeling unsettled. After about three years and multiple attempts, the speaker reaches a turning point — praying/accepting continuing as a carpenter — and soon realizes they already have the necessary tools/skills and had been needlessly trying to reinvent themselves.

I would apply to other jobs. I would actually get multiple interviews. I would get awarded.
The job, and.
Then I would just be.
Like, I can't take it.
I just. I just don't have peace that this is the new direction.
And that happened.
At least five times with five different industries. And then finally, after three years, I just. I just said.
All right, God, if.
You want me to continue as a carpenter the rest of.
My life, I will.
Just terrible kind of thing. But, okay, that's what's. What's happening, because this is clearly not going anywhere. And amazingly, within just weeks or even a couple months after that realization and that turning point, I realized that I had all the tools I needed. I was just trying to reinvent the wheel constantly.
