Being a loser is not a destiny. It is what some are willing to settle for.
Obviously, this is not the path you want to choose. Jobs are hard everywhere, and not know what type of work you are referring to, your field may be very slow. There are tricks to getting an interview and I know about the ones in my area of work. Would be happy to share if you want, maybe some would work for you.
Nothing to be ashamed of. What are you showing your kids....someone that is not giving up because the going is getting rough. You are showing your kids that you believe in yourself, even if it SEEMS that no one else is and that is a very important lesson for them to learn.
You want your kids to be proud of you, what better reasons for your kids to be proud of you. How many parents out there never even bother to consider what their kids think of them. How many parents out there never understand that they are the role model and it is not what you tell your kids, it is what you do during the hard times that shapes your childrens image not only of you, but of them selves. (He kept trying when everyone else gave up. instead of my dad just gave up so that must be what everyone should do)
YOU ARE NOT A LOSER. And you are the only person in total control of your destiny. You are so much more than a job, or any one thing. Yes, the job is nice, needed to pay the bills, but people are so much more than that.
yes u can thumper. just keep on pushing the doors down. no one is ashamed of u- that is your depression biting at your heels. how can anyone not look up to u for trying so hard? i know i do my friend. i am back around if u need someone...janet
Please don't give up. I feel the same way sometimes. But I keep believing anything is possible, and that something will eventually come along.
I work through about 2 different temp agencies, and they usually give me part-time or full-time hours at different work assignments. It's better than just staying home and passing loads of time.
Is there anyway you can do contract or temporary assignments in your field? or in something relative to it?
