I Know That It Will Work Out In the End

I Got 99 Problems But...

I won't let myself wallow in self-pity.

Okay, about everything that could go wrong in my life has gone wrong. I come from a family with multiple problems. (that's another story for later) and I only have myself to rely on, at 21. I'm ******* mixed up trying to get a job and a place to live. I want to go back to college to finish my studies but I can't because of financial problems. Looking for a job has proven to be hard enough. Nobody wants to hire me so I figured I should try internet freelance work but argh!... My connection is lame and im so broke to get a better one. Meanwhile I'm so behind socially. Im losing friends (now I only have one remaining) and I can't get new ones because Im not able to live up to their expectations. I have so many dreams for myself and for the people that I love but things have been so messed for a long time, it's over-whelming. All I really know is that things will work out in the end. I certainly, totally, absolutely believe that some day I will make it.

    You ARE making it!

    Focus on all your accomplishments and set a clear goal for what you desire!

    What does "making it" mean to you? This is your goal. What are the steps it will take for you to accomplish this? Write these down and plot your life!

    Practice positive affirmations instead of stating things like: "I can't because of financial problems", "Nobody wants to hire me", "My connection is lame", "I'm so behind socially" and "I can't get new ones[friends]" Substitute a positive statements for what you desire such as: "There is plenty of money waiting for me and I am now open to receive it to help me pursue my goals.", "I now have the perfect job that I love and I enjoy the salary and social life it provides me with!", "Now that I have plenty of money from my perfect job I now enjoy the great service of my internet connection!

    Remember that someday never comes. Create your future now with positive thoughts. The key word is NOW!

    Remember to always be grateful and focus on all the abundance around you. (Sometimes this is the hardest thing to do!)

    Thoughts become things, so choose the good ones!

    You will make it Sam!! Just don't let the loss get into your head, believe in yourself and tackle that obstacle!!! I use this quote to help me carry on my day and tackle my obstacles, "Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality". And my friend you have that courage, don't give up on it!

    You will DEFINITELY make it. You are articulate and thoughtful, and have your priorities straight. One word of advice, though - who are these people whose expectations you can't meet?



    Expectations of a True Friend: Be Yourself. Like me. Respect me. Encourage me. Enjoy time with me and appreciate knowing that I love hanging with you. Be reliable and dependable and honest. Accept my many flaws as I'll accept yours. Have a great sense of humor about the ups and downs of life as I will. Don't take yourself too seriously or get caught up in meaningless pursuits or things involving ego, cruelty, damage, unfortunate consequences, stunting of growth or dreams.



    I have a feeling you meet all those criteria - do the people you aim to befriend?



    Create your network of friends and "family" - the core of your life outside yourself.



    And from there you will follow your bliss and learn and grow and strengthen and not fall back or become stagnant or question yourself or see changes as failures.



    Great luck to you!



    I have complete faith in you!
