Life Experiences ...

Original post by Cira

Aug 01, 2003 09:01 AM

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.

Cira I am so sorry. I know from our conversation that you were really looking forward to changing positions. I wish I had some fantastic words of wisdom for you, but I don't. Hang in there sweetie. Things will get better and you will get the position your heart desires eventually!!

the same thing recently happened to me and i was HEARTBROKEN. I really hit it off with the people I interviewed with and thought for sure I got it... I even cried and I hardly cry! Good luck to you and your situation.

Sorry about that position, Cira. I had something similar this year and in the long run I'm glad that it didn't work out, in some ways. Thank you for sharing what your sweet DH sent you!

Cira, you my sweet are a gem. Girl its their loss, something better is around the corner. I wish you all the best. Tell your hubby I am proud of him for letting you see there is better ahead. I wish you all the best. Thanks for calling me yesterday sweetie. You are a sweetie pie. When life closes a door, God opens a window. Keep your head up. Remember that if it was meant to be yours it would have been yours. No one can take anything that is yours.

Keep your head up

Cira,

I am soooo sorry the position did not work out. But, I truly believe that things don't work/ or work for a reason - the perfect job is out there for you!

Your DH is priceless - that poem is really beautiful. You are blessed to have someone so supportive at your side.
