I did something I know isn't the wisest thing. I went through the reviews and the write-ups from the job that I had directly after graduating from college. Conclusion: I am a horrible employee. I have horrible customer service skills. I need a lot of help. Basically, a majority of reviews/write ups cited my inability to handle day to day skills. However, I do know for a fact I was always put in charge of day to day resposibilities by my lead whom took the first opportunity to leave. Part of me is angry, but for the most part I cannot escape the feeling of inadequacy. I cannot escape the feeling that I failed in everything. This is why looking back is not a wise decision. I have to remind myself and remember constantly that my past failures do not determine my future actions unless I let them.
Which brings me to my next point. Just because there is a slip up I face in no matter what area of my life, work, home, or just missing a workout. That does not mean that all is not lost. That I can take steps forward. To either prove myself to others or myself, or just to make up for what I feel is lost. The most important part is to continue on. And to assist with the rebound back to OptimisticVille
Life ceases to be so oppressive: we are free to give our own lives meaning and purpose, free to redeem our suffering by making something of it.
