perspective

"it's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it."

do you see the glass half empty or half full.

perspective. 

sometimes you have to consider yours.

perspective makes all the difference.

how you choose to handle life's curve balls all depends on your ability to consider the whole. 

i have done my fair share of bitching about the economy and the job market. it's not awesome. i'm fully aware. and i've definitely had my moments of self pity. every time i was rejected or ignored by a company i applied with (which is/was a lot) i doubted myself. i thought "why me?" or i guess, "why NOT me?" and the weight of rejection got heavier.

after several melt downs, and a lot of frustration i started considering the whole. i changed my perspective.

i realized i am where i am because i choose to be here. my decisions, ALL of them, led me to the place i am physically, mentally and emotionally at this very second. and i will say i am content, not satisfied, but content with where i am. i accept that i am competing for jobs against people who are:

smarter

more qualified

less suborn

older

younger

more desperate

and easier to please, than i am or choose to be.

i know that all wonderful things take time. so i have more patience. and with that the weight of rejection is not so heavy. 

i know there is a plan for me and that eventually i will "have it all."
