Life Experiences ...

I am so upset today because a position that I wanted at work didn't fall through for me ... it's a long story. I'm trying to be strong about it and my husband sends me this ... which I think would be beneficial to all of us, so I wanted to share.

----------------------------------------------------------

Some take life experiences and build out of them
something constructive and lasting.
Others collapse under the weight of that burden and walk away,
bitter and miserable, having learned or accomplished nothing.

It is up to us to build from the wreckage of
loss or walk away broken and hopeless.

Re: Life Experiences ...

Cira, I'm sorry things didn't work out for you. As Christine said, THEIR LOSS!!!
I think this just means that a much better opportunity is waiting for you.

I love that quote. I printed it out AND saved it on my hard drive. I know their will be many times in my life when it will come in handy. Thanks for sharing it!

Re: Life Experiences ...

Cira- sorry about the position and that you are sad. It just meant that it wasn't meant to be. From speaking with you, I know that you are planning a great future and I am sure the right opportunity will be out there waiting for you.

There is an HR position open at my company! (not really sure it is what you do but you can FM me if you are interested!)

Great quote!

Cira
I'm a true believer that everything happens for a reason, it's hard to imagine why at times, but you'll get through it. Quotes sometimes have a magical way of making things better- thanks for sharing! As you can tell from all the love in the posts, you have support here!

Re: Life Experiences ...

oh, I'm so sorry about the position. I know how much you wanted it

That is such a sweet poem - and so nice that your DH sent it to you

Everything does happen for a reason, and something better will come along soon enough.

Re: Life Experiences ...

You ladies are all making me teary-eyed, but I appreciate all those that have posted and have shown such compassion for my feelings ... You ladies are my friends and I'm so glad I have your support.

I believe in 'meant to be's' too ... but it is still a let down especially that they made it seem like the 'ball was in my court'. Oh well - it's all politics anyway!

back atcha!

Denise ... I'll FM you!

Re: Life Experiences ...

maybe it is not the right time in your life for that position. sometimes the best prayers go unanswered, and there is a reason.
i am glad Dh is being so supportive.

Re: Life Experiences ...

AWE, Cira It REALLY is THEIR loss , Im sure you are MORE than qualified for the position, and then come the politics which override any qualifications, SOO unfair!

That was SO sweet of Rob to send you that.

Shows that he beleives in you and that there is so much in life waiting for you to conquer.

Youre a strong woman, and this is only ONE of many things you will just pass through in life and only do BETTER....
