Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Myself:
I graduated mid-recession and heard 'no' a lot when I was looking for full-time jobs after undergrad. Going from a dedicated student to seasonal work and living back at home was incredibly discouraging—I began to doubt my own abilities and future.
How I responded:
If you're a planner and a self-starter, it can be the hardest thing to realize that just because the path isn't what you'd envisioned, that doesn't mean your goals are out of reach. It's absolutely okay to feel discouraged, but don't let it stop you from preparing for opportunities or learning new things.
