Final Thoughts

Dear Friend,

This is going to be the last time I write you.  You and I have been through a lot this year and now it has to come to an end.  Each time I wrote to you I tried to make it relatable, informative, and sometimes I even tried to make it funny (if I failed on that count, I’m sorry).

This year has taught me a lot about myself and I’m thankful you were around to listen.  Whether you realized it or not, I wrote as a way to work out the frustrations that go along with becoming something that resembles an adult.  Sometimes I probably shared too much information about how I was feeling on that particular day.  I’m sure you were reading more for the career advice and not my whining but if you haven’t already learned, I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve.  You probably shook your head once or twice while reading wondering how a girl could be so dramatic while offering interview tips.  I wish I could tell you.

Each day we are required to get up and put one foot in front of the other and move towards something. The most difficult part is when we don’t quite know what that something is.  Trying to take control of your future is hard because shit happens every day to get in your way.  You and I will probably fail more times than we succeed over the upcoming years and that’s okay.  It should be said that most people who stumble upon my blog do so after Googling “Making mistakes at work” “Mistakes at work” or “I keep making mistakes in my job”.  Yes, we will all make mistakes and the best thing to do is learn from them so we can avoid repeating them.  The difference between those of us who succeed and those who don’t, is how we pick ourselves up and move forward.

Remember that you can always move forward.

I could leave you with some inspirational quotes but I’d rather not be a cliché.  Instead I’m going to wish you good luck and urge you to remember that living for a better tomorrow is a really stupid idea.

Just try to live for a better today and see what happens.
