Confidence, Determination, Strength, Faith

I was browsing all of the job sites yesterday... some jobs look interesting... some look terrible, then I ran into this one and it was like the job that I could have hand written and said that, that is what I want to be doing. It took all of my favorite elements from my past two positions and mashed them together. It was late so I agreed that I would finish it and submit in the am, but I couldn't stop thinking about how cool it might be.

This morning I was looking it over again at the gym while I was stretching and I saw something I clearly missed the day before...15 years of exec experience right under the 8 years of management experience. I've been working for going on 9 years and managing for about 8...but 15..CRAP, crap, crap in a handbag! I laughed it off and continued my workout.

In that time I realized something had happened. I let a minor oversight take my confidence. All the sudden I wasn't good enough for anything. Although...I wasn't the one who realized it. Derik picked up on it right away though (thank God). Through my tearful explanation he realized that my confidence was shot. Enter pep talk and a little tough love....thank you baby!

This pep talk inspired me to write my focus of the day >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Confidence, Determination, Strength, Faith...I can do this!

What if I still applied...what's the worst that could happen? Oh yea I don't get called...that's not too bad at all. However, what if they did..what if I got an interview...I know how to work with people, and I actually enjoy interviewing, what if they wanted to take a chance?

Cover letter time...time to kill it!!

I know how to do this. I played sports, I know that confidence in yourself is over half of the battle. I remember thinking and even telling my dad I can't do it...I can't play basketball, these girls are bigger than me, they are just going to stuff me...one of my favorite lessons I learned from dad was visualization. You can literally picture your success. You can think out scenarios and how you will succeed in these times using your strengths.  I thought that it only applied to sports, but today I realized that it's so much more.

I am confident, I am determined, I am strong, I am faithful! I can visualize what my success looks like, I just need to set my mind to it & be my #1 fan!
