Right as I'm sitting down to start a long day of (boring) studying, I read this quote just now:
"You've already moved away from every disappointment you've ever experienced. Keep moving positively ahead." -Ralph Marston
What a good reminder. I thought long and hard about school yesterday. I even cried. I questioned whether or not I am on the right path. But as much as I don't like the program I'm in, I really like the profession I am working toward joining.
I am also starting to separate my New Life (going back to school) from my Old Life (trying to have kids). What I mean is I don't think "I'm only doing this because I can't have kids" every single time I go to class or sit down to work.
I also went to a concert on Friday night so that helped. I really didn't have the time to step away from my schoolwork, but I also needed to feed my soul so to speak. Going to hear one of my favorite bands was probably the best decision I've made all semester.
Onward! :)
When I was at the beginning of my new path I actually had to create a Visualization sheet for myself and pin it in front of my desk to remind me that there is a light at the end of the tunnel :) A couple of times I literally through a book across the room LOL so I absolutely understand that school process sucks but education doesn't so yes, we just have to move forward!
ReplyDeleteI like concerts too but I like to go to opera or symphony orchestra. Music is healing!
Hahaha you threw a book! I understand!!! :-D School is so frustrating! But... Onward and upward.
ReplyDeleteI have a bulletin board next to my desk with some pictures reminding me of where I want to be and what I want to do in the very near future. It's a good reminder for the tough days, which is a lot of them haha.
And, yes, music keeps me sane. :)
I love: "You've already moved away from every disappointment you've ever experienced. Keep moving positively ahead." Might laminate and stick it above my desk...
ReplyDeleteSeriously! We are stronger than we ever wanted to have to be...
