still learning

I am a strong believer in things happening for a reason. It is always hard for me to hear that I am not good enough or I just did not make the cut. I feel like I have always had a complex about those things in my life. Not being good enough, feeling like I am always chasing after something. Today I learned that even though I didn't get what I wanted. It may have been what someone else needed. I am a driven person, I rarely give up on the things I want. From a pair of great shoes, to the boys I dated(including my husband). So I have decided that even though things don't always go exactly how I have pictured them ( in my insanely imaginative mind ) it is not the end of things, in fact it could very possibly be the beginning of a better thing. So today I am trying to take my disappointment in stride, trying to leave my emotions out of it, ( stop being a girl about it as my dad would say ) and continuing with a positive attitude to succeed at the things I have. I am in no position to be ungrateful. So today I am grateful for disappointment and learning from the things that go wrong. That will hopefully turn into a right.
