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.

Sorry about the position. There will be another one for you
Very good quote. Def. something we should all remember. Thanks

Cira what a wonderful husband to share that with you and how wonderful of you to share it with us! I am sorry you didn't get the position you wanted....but I am sure it's because there's something better coming along for you......

Cira, I am sorry about the position. Their loss!

That is a quote we should all have posted somewhere!! Thanks for sharing!

Sorry about the position. Other will open.

I love the quote.

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!

Cira, dont worry you will find something better. Its usually what happens

And that is so true

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, just remember that everything that happens in life happens for the best....

Good luck to you and I am sure you'll find something even better in the future!!!

As like the other girls mentioned - maybe it was a blessing in disguise. Keep your head up and something will definitely come your way. Hang in there

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!

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.

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!

Hang in there - something will come up soon enough.

I just remembered we have an opening in my area too! FMing you more details

Hey Cira - sorry to hear you didn't get what you were hoping for

Thanks for sharing the inspirationsal quote. That was thoughtful of Rob to send to you.

sorry about the position Cira...

I like the quote...its like make lemons out of lemonade...

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.

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....

So sorry Cira...like Anna said..it is THEIR LOSS
Something better will come along for you.
That is a nice quote

Oh Cira Sweety, I am so sorry you didn't get the position, but I agree with everyone else, it's THEIR LOSS, BIG TIME!!!

I believe that things happen for a reason, and like JennRenee said, a better position will come along for you!!!!!

That was a beautiful quote Rob sent you and I'm also going to print it out!!!
