I'm recently experiencing a set back in my career which initially makes me feel like I'm failing and like giving up. I can't help but fall into a little depression but I know if I stay in that space nothing will change. So, I find myself reevaluating the situation and asking myself, "what is this situation trying to teach me?" I'm still waiting for the answer but it brings me back to my last quote about control. I can't control anything or anyone outside of myself so it's how I react to the situation. So, after a moment of self pity I'm back to the solution. It's all I have.
The solution is to walk through the doors that are open because obviously the closed doors I can't force to open. I go back to what I do best, getting outside of myself and helping others wherever I can. I've always found that service work is the best medicine to get me unstuck and out of my shit.
I feel better having this realization and that is something I do have control over. So, today I choose to look for opportunities to help others and just for today, not make it all about me.
