My Journey through Unemployment

I work up this morning with the bright idea to blog about my current unemployment situation - my journey through unemployment. I plan to put those words of wisdom or life lessons from the Lessons Project (http://www.facebook.com/lifelessons1) to good use. The blog should document how easy or difficult it is to apply the quotes, advice etc. at a crucial time.

Today, I am trying to keep my thoughts positive. I started my job hunt just a week ago and so far, no calls for an interview.  At this point, I hope I will find a job soon, but there is some fear. What if it takes months? What if I run out of money?  It is difficult to have only positive thoughts at a time like this.

I recall quotes on positive thinking such as:

"I think if you just look at life in a positive way, positive things will happen."
- Jake Owen

"With everything that's thrown at you, whether it be problems at home, problems at work - whatever - basically, if you remain positive, you can see your way out of that."
- Sean Paul

And the bible verse:
"And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose."
(Romans 8:28)

So I know I should get those negative thoughts out of my head. And so I think of all the positives:
- I quickly updated my resume, obtained letters of recommendation, and applied for about 15 jobs in about a week.
- I think I have a strong resume and very marketable skills.
- There is a chance that I will find the perfect position for me, one that will change my life.
That is enough for me.
