Many who know me are not aware of a time in my life where I was unemployed for several months. I know there are many out there who have been unemployed longer, but this is my experience. Nor is the lesson limited to unemployment, but also times of illness, childbirth, and
more.
During my unemployment I first found myself invigorated with determination to regain employment. But with each passing day where I did not find anyone who was accepting applications, or interviews that I was not called back on, I found myself discouraged. Then came some time-proven wisdom that I grasped a hold of, and it worked.
Just keep doing.
Get up and do, every single day. Do what? First, the usual routine you had when your schedule was “normal”. Shower, groom, etc. Do… something. Did you get that job today? Perhaps not, but what else did you accomplish? Do not let one disappointment be the focus – there is so much more in the world. It may not seem like just getting up and doing your routine has anything to do with eventually paying your rent or buying essentials, but in my personal experience, it very much does.
As you have no doubt heard said: Time, Patience, and Perseverance will accomplish all things – do not ever forget that you need all three.
Persevere, my Brethren. Just keep doing.
