We’ve all heard, and probably said, the expression there’s no harm in trying! Well, in theory, that’s absolutely true. There’s never harm in trying, asking or saying something because the worst possible outcome we can get is a no. Or is there? What happens when no becomes the center of our life and it’s what we are constantly hearing and, eventually, struggling with? I’ve always been honest about how I’ve been struggling to find a job and how the blog saves me from wasting my time on doing absolutely nothing and keeps me afloat – amongst other things. And, whether it was the interview you went and were confident enough that you did good, the job you thought you had but got questioned because of your creativity or just not being given a shot by potential friends. It’s not easy and it never gets easy because, ultimately, you start questioning yourself and your capabilities as a person and if what you’re doing is right. I’ve said a lot of this before (here) and am kind of repeating myself but, only because no has been on constant repeat in my life!
You have to be able to understand that it’s not always your fault, you can always do better and lean on and take advantage of the people around you that support you. It’s not always going to be an easy thing to deal with but picture your good, inspired and happy days, that always seems to do the trick with me. If not, you’re probably just having a bad day, eat some chocolate, watch a sad movie and sweat it out!
