Laid Off.
Again.
Time for a change in life. Again. Mid life crisis anybody? I have had a few....Okay, Okay. I am exaggerating.
Since my last post, alot has happened, and I am no longer sweating the small stuff, per se. I can't even remember what the small stuff consists of.
I lost my job; hence, my income. For a self supported person with a car, dog and a cat...well...you can imagine the crisis.
I failed the bar exam, by 9 points. It may sound like a big deal and maybe it should have been. Maybe it really is, but I am numb to the outcome. I absolutely did my very best. For the first time in my life, maybe something I put forth 110% effort was not enough? I guess, since I have never been married and have counseled many, many couples going through divorce, I finally understand what it feels like to have put forth all of your effort and not obtain the desired outcome.
If you would have told me years ago that I would be in such a situation now, after having put forth all of that time and effort into school....well, I may have said, "I will just not go to school then."
The most valuable thing I can share with any reader out in the universe who may come to this page today, is that I would never trade my education for anything. Looking back, I have to say that my parents, my family and education made me the person I am today.
I got laid off before I found out I failed the bar exam. How bizarre. I will tell you this is the first time in my life that losing a job has been such a relief in so many ways.
A good friend of mine from grade school called me about a month ago and I told him that I didn't know how much more I could withstand of my life the way it was. I hated it. There was something cosmically wrong with everything....mainly, however, where I worked and who I saw at work each day. My friends, I am here to tell you today, that you should not live your life feeling that way.
Stress is the silent killer. It really is. I don't mean live a stress free life, because that is impossible, but I mean find what you love to do and do it!
Life is but a breath. When we die, we should have no regrets.
