I feel like I am just a tad bit late in joining the blogging world, but HEY, I did it! It’s
2:30 AM, I can’t sleep, I can’t find a job even though I just graduated with my
bachelors, I love to write, so I thought “Hey, why not?!”.
So, here it goes…
First off, I don’t want to give away my full “life story” on
my first post, so (if you read this) I intend to give away little snippets of
my life post my post.
This morning, I would like to talk about finding jobs,
because that is what I was doing when I suddenly had this miraculous idea to
spontaneously become A Blogger! *uses spirit fingers to show how majestic the
words “a blogger” are* WHY ON EARTH IS IT SO HARD?! (finding a job). I mean, I
went to college for 4 years and graduated with a degree in English. Yes, my
ultimate goal is to become a teacher, but in the meantime, I still need to pay
my bills! I have applied for office jobs, writing jobs, babysitting jobs, retail jobs, and zero has come out of it.
It can be extremely discouraging, especially when you worked hard for an
education and you feel like it’s of no use to you! My 16 year old sister even
has a job lined up at the local grocery store near our house! Like…what? You
are 16 (still in high school) and I am 22 (graduate from college). Don’t get me
wrong, I am absolutely ecstatic for her; I know she wants to save money for a
car and all that jazz, but let me just repeat ...BILLS! Nonetheless, I think this definitely applies
to ALL age groups! Whether you are in your teens, twenty’s, or even your forty’s,
finding a brand new job is extremely rough. But you know what we just have to
keep on keepin’ on!
Here is what I’ve learned:
(I actually thought of this as I rambled on in my typing,
but regardless, here it is)
Most of us who are searching high and low for jobs are not
necessarily happy. Am I right? Duh! Who is happy about being out of work? No
one! Soooo, in order for this to change (get this) make yourself happy! *mind
blown* I know I have continuously been complaining about my body for the past
couple months now. I also know that I was constantly in such a joyful mood when
I used to work out every morning. Solution to problem: I AM WORKING OUT
TOMORROW MORNING! I complain I am not
organized. Solution to problem: After working out, I AM GOING TO BUCKLE DOWN
AND GET ORGANIZED. These are things that cause stress and unhappiness in my
life and I know that when I take action, I will be much more pleasant.
Now, the connection
between this and finding a job is…good vibes (haha). No, but really, it is. When
we feel good about ourselves, and we are taking action and attracting positivity,
THAT is the moment you will find a job. It is the Power of Positive Thinking.
It is Perspective. Being out of work is temporary. But happiness is long term,
and it starts within. It may sounds silly, but I believe being out of a job,
looking for a job, and stress, are all ways God testing us. He is crying out
for us to take a hold of our lives, get back on track, and most importantly be
Happy. So for many of you who are going through the same thing I am…It WILL
pass, make YOURSELF happy. This doesn’t mean take a trip to Cancun for 3 days
because that makes you happy…we have to be smart about our decisions here but:
garden, write, paint, dance, shelter homeless cats! I don’t know what you’re
into! Keep busy! Do what you love! (obviously continue to apply for jobs) But
make sure you are Happy with YOU before you take on anything else. YOU can
change this around! TRUST in the Big Guy Upstairs!!
-shout out to my mom who planted the central idea of this
post in my head during our talk tonight/ last night? Idk. I’m tired.
