I've been meaning to post this for a month now, but just didn't have a chance to during our little hiatus. So here it is...Last month was the Coachella Music Festival and I really wanted to go. In my non-money-making status, I wasn't really in a position to purchase $300 tickets to this 3-day concert, however amazing it was going to be. I felt a little pang of jealousy in my heart every time I heard it on the radio, heard somebody talking about going, or even saw someone wearing a T-shirt from years ago. I'll say it again, I really wanted to go!
So on a whim, I signed up to try to win tickets from a local radio station that was giving away tickets if you registered on their website. The chances were small, but I was going to try, darn it, because I wanted to go! As it turned out, I got a call informing me that I won! I was chuffed to bits to hear that I won! I was literally jumping up and down and screaming, I was so happy. I ended up having an amazing time and it wouldn't have happened if I didn't at least try to win the tickets, which is what can be said about job searching. So many times, I am so discouraged and just want to be a lazy bum and not look. The chances are so small; there are so many other people competing for the same job; nobody is hiring, etc. But we won't get what we want and nothing is going to happen if we don't work towards it and just try.
