((((((((((((( Venus )))))))))))))

You are so not alone in your thoughts and feelings you are having right now. Your experiences in life are stepping stones to better understanding of yourself and the world around you.

While you are impassioned by thinking about and discussing some very political situations, you found out that they are not always the most appropriate thing to discuss or maybe that going so deeply into how you feel and think about things. There is a time and place for those discussions and maybe you found out that the process of getting the job you wanted wasn't the exact right place for that discussion. No worries.....take it in and try to work around it for your benefit.

You have high expectations of yourself and what kind of work you want to do. Sometimes we find out that we need to start at a lower rung of the ladder before we can step into the higher echelon of that career. It can take time and sometimes you have to prove yourself to your employers that you have what it takes to be in that higher bracket.

I have found in my life that all that happened in the past was a learning experience. It was something I could take and use to help me prepare for the next steps. Yes there were times of feeling inadequate, stupid, and I got down on myself for feeling that way. But I also learned that I was not the only one who went through that and that we can move forward into a brighter future. I also learned that all those negative feelings and outcomes made me a better person, made me stronger and smarter.

I also learned that there is more than one way to get to a specific place. Maybe the path I was taking was the wrong path to get to where I needed to go. I had to open my eyes and my mind to other possibilities, other steps to take to achieve my goals. And at times, I found that the goal I was initially trying to achieve changed. That is all okay......life changes, and the more we can help ourselves to roll with the punches, the better off we are.

I wish you well in your journey Venus. You can make it be whatever you want to make it. You can choose how to deal with rejections, you can choose which path you decide to take, you can choose not to stay down when someone slaps you down.

Take good care!
