Preparation is the key. Unless its Preparation H then it's a pain in the ass!!
Sometimes I have to prepare myself for the future. I have to get prepared to face a certain situation or event that I know my normal happy self is not going to enjoy. I try to envision it and pretend it is not that bad. I know I can make it through, a little stronger and more confident.
This new job is preparing me for a certain busy future. I know it is not making me happy at the moment. Its bad and hopefully once I know the job, it will get better. Damn its only day two! But there is a feeling that if I prepare now with learning this job as best as I can and keep learning...that I will have a brighter future. And who knows... I maybe surprised and might just become my happy self at some point.
SOMEDAY!!
