8 Weeks

Recently a friend of mine has been struggling with unemployment after his company lost its biggest customer and he was forced to go to work for someone else. I have been helping him with his resume and with setting up an email account. One day as he was leaving the house he was telling me about the temporary job that he was starting for the next eight weeks and he said “I just know this is going to be the worst 8 weeks of my life.” To which I responded that with that attitude he was making sure that it would turn out that way. This is just how we screw up the opportunities that life gives us by not being appreciative of what we have now, that just might lead us onto better things. I encouraged him to think about the whole situation a little more positively and it did help him get some money to get to the next step.
