4 Things I Told Myself When Life Had Other Plans
that completely changed my mindset
I had an entire list of ideas on what to write for the Wednesday Wisdom post, but fate had other things in store.
6 weeks ago, I resigned from a full-time job, after being offered a 6-month contracting position. I wrote about this in a post I had published in the Orange Journal.
I resigned just in the nick of time to make the start date for the new job.
Since then, my start date was then moved 3 times, the first two times causing me to panic and burst into tears.
I was contacted two weeks ago and told the date would be moving yet again and they would confirm by the end of the following week.
After chasing twice, I received a call yesterday to tell me that the position is no longer available and I was sent two other job specs, which are for less money.
I was pretty stunned.
I didn’t know how to feel, as much as I want to pursue a career in writing, I planned to do that alongside a paid job until I can make enough money from writing to do it permanently.
