Don't Waste it on Anger

Looking back on my life a year ago, most things are different now.

When you’re frustrated, I suggest asking yourself, “will this matter in a year?”. If your answer's yes, well then it must be a rather big issue, and that’s for another day. But most of the time, things that we think matter, really don’t matter at all.

So what if you got cut off on the freeway? So what if they don’t have your size? So what if someone said something behind your back? So what if he didn’t return your phone call? So what?

I've always been told to take a step back and think about things before and after doing them. Things that I was strung up on a year ago, even 6 months ago, don’t matter to me anymore. I feel silly for ever letting those things consume myself and my life.

Take a look back, do the things the things that bothered you so much a year ago still matter? Create a timeline and mark the things that mattered, would you still mark them today? I know life can be tough, but that’s it. It’s life, it’s supposed to be tough, right? It molds us, strengthens us and makes us who we are. If you have emotions, that’s fine. Don’t suppress them, but be realistic, are you working yourself up over the unnecessary?

I’m  not an advocate for perfection, nor a flawless product of which I’m preaching, but I sincerely believe everything happens for a reason, I even believe certain things don’t happen for a reason. Learn to let things go, the only person a grudge hurts is yourself. Forgive others, forget disagreements, and fulfill the life you were sent here to live. Don’t waste it on anger, in fact, don’t waste it at all. :)

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow. It empties today of its strength. - Corrie Ten Boom

Stumble on Wondrous Thing

For indeed my life is a perpetual question mark – my thirst for books, my observations of people, all tend to satisfy a great, overwhelming desire to know, to understand, to find an answer to a million questions. And gradually the answers are revealed, many things are explained, and above all, many things are given names and described, and my restlessness is subdued. Then I become an exclamatory person, clapping my hands to the immense surprises the world holds for me, and falling from one ecstasy into another. I have the habit of peeping and prying and listening and seeking – passionate curiosity and expectation. But I have also the habit of being surprised, the habit of being filled with wonder and satisfaction each time I stumble on some wondrous thing.

Joblogy: Finding The Job of Your Life

For most of us, choosing or changing a career path is a confusing and anxiety-riddled experience. Today’s college students and their parents are caught in a bind. Research shows that, more than ever, a college degree is key to greater economic security and employment. Yet young grads face the burden of college debt and an incredibly demanding job market that they aren't prepared for. You can’t afford not to succeed in your job search, but you also don’t know the rules or the tools needed to score in today’s job market. If you're going to be working harder, it's even more important to get a job you'll really like; a job that will not only help you meet your financial and career goals, but will also reward your psyche, by stimulating your creativity and giving you that accomplishment feeling that sometimes only the workplace can provide.
