Yestarday I traveled over an hour to get to a factory to apply in person, give them my resume and basically sell myself to the company at their main offices. I was almost thrown out by security because not only was I not a employee of the company but I also didn't have a appointment. Luckily I was nearly 5" taller and about 50lbs. more muscular than the security guard so he seemed to opt to not start any trouble. I left without making a scene since that would make getting a job impossible as well take a chance with law enforcement getting involved. I ended up having to settle for a online application to the company.
Today I was supposed to talk to the owner of a restuarant about a cooking job opening. I got there at 2:30 and waited for him. At 6:00 he still hadn't shown up. So unfortunately I had to just go home.
My thoughts on how things are going are this: Life is going to test you in every way it can using the most unfavorable conditions possible till you are far past your breaking point. If you continue to bend you will eventually break unless you are like me. I have a goal in my life and that is to be with my special someone and have a family. For that goal I don't have the luxury of breaking, but because I have my love and the desire to start a family with her I end up having strength far beyond anything I ever had when I was just thinking of myself. Because of her and my dreams of her and I together I don't allow myself to bend let alone break. I try and look at everything that I plan for us as being a certainty since if I don't have that conviction I will end up breaking.
My advice to others is don't live selfishly, you will gain alot more strength from doing something for the ones you love than doing something just for yourself. Trust me I have lived through some hard times and the only time I feel strong enough to work through it and succeed is when I have my love cheering me on.
I hope those that read this take this into consideration when they feel they are about to break from lifes constant tests. Look to the ones you love for support it will make a world of difference.
