giving away your power

that last quote is the thought of the day. i've spent a few days over the past week talking to myself about the open position where i work saying - well those other people that applied, they're probably more qualified than me. i mean i heard one of them used to work at the ny times. and one of them does more editing than i do, so they'll probably hire her.

HELLO NETTA! you already do what would be required of someone in that position. you just do it for less pay, no benefits, and at the crappy desk. so, i applied this morning.

i'd like to thank the editor of the show for reminding me that i hadn't submitted yet and reigniting my shine. for a second i was thinking, they won't even miss me if i don't apply. they missed me!

lesson in this - don't wait for someone to miss you. go ahead and step up to the plate, and cut it out with all that negative self-talk. you just talkin yourself out of fabulous! girl bye.

I can't even believe for one second that after holding my hand for the last week there is one ounce of negativity in you. You were the bright shining star in this whole experience. You're the one I trust.

We are our own worst enemies. Our own worst critics. WE are the ones that get in the way of ourselves. If you always give it your best shot then you will have no regrets regardless of the outcome.

I know all to well that I wasn't hired MANY times when I should have been. But I gave it my best shot. And then ask yourself....."Did I really want to work for such a short sighted jerk anyway? Oh hell no! I am much better than that."

In the world of careers it's all about you. Be honest with yourself ALWAYS. Maintain your integrity. Because in the end....it's still all about you! NO REGRETS!!
