My disappointment.. Inspired by life experiences,

My disappointment.. Inspired by life experiences..

   Well I have been through alot in my life, Not getting hired at the police dept until I joined the Navy. Not making rank the first time out.. Or struggling with life.. It never ends.. I mean we all face adversities in life.. Sometimes I wonder if its just me. But its life.. If you want something bad enough , you  fight for it. You learn from it.. MY latest one is disappointing,. Devastating.. I was butt hurt. because I thought the people around me.. Were supported of me.. But to be honest. I realize real life its all about who you know and who you blow.. Maybe because I was in the military.. I thought civilian life would be more fair.. Yea right, its not true,, The 5 years since I retired,, Yes 5 long years I realized that nepotism , favoritism applies. BUT WHAT CAN I DO? Do I get angry ? Perhaps, I can be,, I'm allowed to feel any of that. But I realize,. that in today's job market its about doing your job and doing it well and don't expect friendship or whether or not you get along with people,,, I mean sometimes obvious , seems so simple.. In my case I applied for a job and for months. I thought I had in the bag.. But I should of know,, That other people are applying for positions, especially if they already in the company.. No hard feelings. II know my time will come. I need to be patient and pray and hope things work out.. I mean.. I have only been working at this company for barely 3 months so what do I expect ? I mean.. I now know I need to be more patient and less dramatic or flamboyant.. Its tough because I think even at my age I'm a attention seeker . I love the drama that follows me,, Maybe that's why it does? I mean  It seems I handle well, because I have so many dramatic things happen to me the past years.. I always wondered why it happens? Will I ever learn ? Or maybe I should just relax and do my job. I know the pain and hurt feelings I have will take time.. But to be honest I have felt this pain many times over.. So I should have a strategy plan huh? 
  Well here I handle disappointment...

1) Own the feelings.. write down how you feel, what did you learn and how will I go from this point..

2) Question your expectations. ? Did you really feel you are ready for the job or position. 
Take note on what needs to be done next time or interview..

3)Take time to learn from experience.. In my case I write down what did I learn ,, Perhaps a better sales pitch , more serious at interview.. 

4) Take personal notes,, Like have a better resume, show more certificates, have a stronger intro and conclusion.. 

5)Adjust your expectations or make modifications.. In other words,, Take note what needs to be done next time,, Learn more about the job keep a journal,,or a STANDARD OPERATIONS GUIDE. Be vigilant !! Don't give up.. Be positive!!

6) Calm your self down, take a nap , a walk,, or read a book , talk to close friends and or write your feelings down.. Have faith things will be better,, Tomorrow is another day,, Look forward to it..

7) Distract your self.. Same as above.. pretty much. Just think about other thing,, time does heal all wounds.. Think about the future and how Life is beautiful.. Nothing bad stays with you.. Be positive.. ad be proactive. Think about good things.. Its not easy to over come disappointment , but times does heal all wounds.. 

Disappointment is only temporary. Let it go..

What did I learn ? In this case I realize today's world is a business and that other people are applying for jobs too, Never discount that. 

Everything happens for a reason. IN this case, I need to think about the next opening ,or chance to get hired. Perhaps a better suited positron is just around the corner.. Like maybe the warehouse fits better than a office setting , or maybe another position will open up , just be patient. People come and go and you just have to wait your turn.. Sometimes destiny and fate are just moments away..

Take a look around.. Perhaps another opportunity will happen for you. Apply for other jobs or job sites or just be patient. because only time can tell if another position is about to open up. Take stock of what your looking for and be focused on that. By doing your best always,, Expect great things to come your way. Be positive and keep trying. I have been hurt many times in my life , but I now know I have to be mentally and emotionally strong.. People will respect and love you if you show strength//

I hope this helps you and despite my recent disappointment, I'm ready to press on and Go on. I will get a good nights sleep and come back tomorrow refreshed and ready to work.. Be strong! Have a great day and fight on!!
