More often than we probably acknowledge or appreciate, the way things happen is actually often aligned with what we were hoping for.
Of course, we often put focus on when something doesn’t go the way we were hoping for.
We try to rationalize it after the fact. Find a place to assign blame, perhaps.
All at the loss of doing one or two better moves.
The first being finding the lesson. Perhaps you didn’t get the job because of a missing attribute. You have control over adding that in and learning from the experience.
The second being finding a way to move on. Perhaps a coin was flipped and you didn’t luck out with the job. That’s out of your control and there’s nothing to learn from that, which means it’s time to spend the energy on hoping for something new than sulking in how things didn’t go how you hoped.
Stay Positive & You Control Your Hope
