No manipulation

'What is truly ours will come to us easily."
     That thought popped in my head earlier this week. Recently in my life there's been some familial differences / conflict, and as a recent graduate I've struggled to find a job so this phrase floating into my mind so lyrically seemed very fitting. I'm sure this is an adaptation of one or a few quotes I'm already familiar with yet I still rendered this significant. It came out of the blue, and like most valued instances, right when I needed it most.

     I've been trying and TRYING to find a job- to the point where it's almost laughable it has been so frustrating. There was one company that I really had my heart set on, but they did not hire me (however, that is not to say I've given up on them because I haven't. They are still my number one and I've jumped through some of the necessary hoops for them to reconsider me). I've applied a ton of places in my hometown, and a few places in North Carolina where I also have family yet still nothing. I've been thanking God for a job, and I truly believe it will manifest but it won't be in my timing because my timing would've been two months ago. This is where the above quote ties in.

     I don't believe this is to mean that we should give up, hole ourselves up with Netflix and our favorite snacks and just wish what we want into existence, because that surely won't work. I take this to mean that we are not to worry and work ourselves into a frenzy over certain situations. Of course I should take the necessary steps to get my 'dream job', but if it doesn't happen right away it is not meant to be mine at the moment. In a couple months or even a year from now it may be that I'm better suited for the position, and I have to be okay with that.
