Well I am hoping that in time we will find someone who can fix the ceiling in our nice tent trailer :cry_pig:

Andy decided to rip open the ceiling because it appeared we had a slight leak :facepalm: (This was back in July)

He still hasn't put it back together.


He is a chef, remember, not a handyman.

Soul killing jobs are the best kind… They build character and give you the incentive to move on. There are all kinds of jobs out there. You just need to go after the ones that support the majority of your goals.
Thank you this is very true, why kill myself for people who only hold people back? I'll keep this in mind as I march forward

Nothing is promised in life. Not life itself, not good health, not good jobs. Our character shows in making the best of it that we can.

I've had my share of crappy jobs. In each one, if I had taken the attitude of, "Whatever this is, I will achieve success," I would have made it to where I am now, whatever that may be, but with a much better attitude.

Every day, I see people who remind me that I don't have problems. A quadriplegic who is being wheeled along by a friend. An adult who will be a child forever because of disabilities. People who were born with far less of a chance to succeed than I ever had. Villagers in another country who pull things out of the ground and water for their daily food.

I agree - the more you force "finding" something, the more likely it's not there yet. Patience. Determine your goals and what you want. In the meantime, apply your best efforts to what you have in front of you. If you work hard, if you do better than your competition, if you keep your attitude in check, then... well. Nothing's promised. But the probabilities of getting what you want become a lot higher, a lot more achievable.

Thank you for the advice. I think I'll share this on my social media page. You are right. Just last Tuesday is was in a car accident on my way to a second job interview- guess it meant that job wasn't suitable. Yet, it also showed that I'm still supposed to be on this earth. I may be broke but being alive is better than financial burdens. Good does come in the end- I have to keep remembering this and sharing that positivity. That's another reason why I wanted to post this discussion thread- spreading light despite the darkest night. God bless you ‍♂️

To tag on, I guess age has taught me a modicum of patience.

A friendly competitor came to town, told me he was going to make it worth the local clientele's while to use him. He's not here anymore.

I was working for a corporate concern, became disenchanted, and ultimately split to start my own shop. They were angry, said they'd crush me, opened up another local storefront, and it closed five years later.

Grandma and I agonized because we want things done now! With the remodeled master bath, flooring, front deck, and so on. Now we have all of that, and in the way we want, just by not rushing into it despite our impulses to the contrary.

I wanted an international aspect to the practice but didn't know how to get there, stopped worrying about it, it came to me, and now I've got a passport full of stamps.

Patience.

Amen, patience is hard to come by. Especially, when you want positive change immediately. Thank you for commenting. Glad everything is better
