Get the best out of life, don't let life take the best out of you!

One of the first lessons you learn as a young adult or even as a kid is that life isn't fair. Sometimes we work hard and do all the right things but we still get passed over. When I graduated from collage I thought it would be easy to find a good job. My plan was to go to school and get my degree and by doing that, open a door to a good job. It did not work out like that at all. I went on interview after interview with no luck. The jobs I wanted I didn't have enough experience to get. The jobs I didn't want I had to much education to be hired. While I was unemployed I worked on projects that I felt could make me more valuable in the workforce. Long story short I ended up back in school. It was not what I planned but I made the best of my situation. Shortly after I graduated the second time I was able to find a nice job. When I look back at the original plan I had I am happy it didn't work. Now I am getting paid for doing something that I love, but I never would have made it to that point if I didn't make the best of a bad situation.


One thing for sure is that lesson we learned when we were younger is still true today. There are going to be times in life where things are not going to go your way. Times where everything seems to be going the opposite way that you planned. When life happens and is not going the way you planned, don't give up. Don't let it take the best from you. Making the best of a bad situation can lead to a situation better than you could ever had planned. Making the worst of an already bad situation will only make things worst. Sometimes bad things happen just to make room for the good things that are on there way. It is not always easy but try to find the good in every situation. When the door you planned to go through closes, start looking for the next one. You never know, you may find something better than you could have dreamed in there. Keep your head up, you can do it!
