Q: Well, I look at my life and I have being making some progress but I have hit a few road blocks. I am a adult trying to grow but I keep running into a wall. I am currently a student at a community college and my biggest concern right now as far as my career goes is getting a job and attending the right college. I was so optimistic I would get a job until I received 3 rejection. I was so optimistic that I would go to a particular university but my expectations were met. So now I am disappointed and lost. I feel like now what, I thought I was at the turning point in my left but it looks like I made the wrong turn. I was not prepared to get 3 rejections from a job and I was not prepared to be disappointed with the school I want to attend. How can I move forward because right now I am stuck. I thought I knew things were gonna change for me.

I was married once. She was a pretty girl and seemed great at the time, so for a brief period of time, I gave up my rambling life playing in punk bands and writing for music zines while traveling to settle down. She cheated and left and I was alone. A few years later, I fell in love with my bass player and now we tour together and have the best adventures so I have both the girl of my dreams and my musical life.
The truth is, life rarely turns out the way we plan. But it has a strange way of coming together. Maybe that wasnt the job for you, maybe your destined for better things, or maybe you got a better job coming right around the corner. The simple fact is. Your time will come.
If I were a buddhist I would say "What a great opportunity for you"
Life rarely turns out the we think it will. Sometimes it turns out better.
