I have recently hit a slump. Both in body and in mind.
Now, don't worry, this isn't going to be a depressing blog about how I'm giving up on life and not putting any effort in anymore. And it's also not going to be one of those annoyingly motivating 'I'M GOING TO CHANGE EVERYTHING ABOUT MY LIFE' blogs.
Basically, I'm a firm believer in Karma, everything happening for a reason, etc etc. I don't know why, it's all rubbish, but I'm sure I believe in that more than I believe in Christianity, because I have proof of that happening. ANYWAY (getting off topic) I'm basically saying that the Universe decides everything, not us.
I know, right. I'm a deep person.
Recently, I've had a lot of downturns in my life: Couple of bad grades, lost an election, got a bad attitude, among other things that I'm not cool with posting on the interwebs. Because this has all happened, I felt, at first, depressed. Like, really sad all the time. I'd not talk to anyone, would be slamming doors in people's faces, and it would make everyone else feel uncomfortable. And it wasn't nice.
Things kept getting worse and I felt worse and the people around me felt worse. I wasn't getting anywhere.
Then I realized, I can't sit on my bottom and expect the world to stop turning because I've had a bad couple of weeks. You have to move on and find new opportunities for yourself, because they sure as hell won't come to you.
You've got to find a telescope that is big enough to look over the whole horizon, not just a tiny spot.
I'm getting all philosophical.
If you're sitting at home, right now, reading this after having a rejection email from a job you applied for or the love of your life just broke up with you, just take a deep breath and remember that there are better things for you out there, despite how it might feel right now.
Something good always comes around eventually, but sometimes you have to go and find it!
