Maintaining The Positive Momentum

Well lets see it's been a crazy few days here for me.  My thoughts have been all over the place lately wondering what I am supposed to do and if I am on the right track and will I know the right track when I see it.  Have you ever found yourself like that ... just trying to stay on top and trying to keep a positive attitude.  I had to take a certification test yesterday for my profession that I have been doing for the past 17 years and now I have to be certified by a test.  I know many people who have become "certified" by passing this test but they still don't know what they are doing.  So it's been a real struggle for me to try to wrap my head around that and get a different perspective other then the one I have.  And since3 we are on the subject ...have you ever wanted something so badly that you could taste it.  There was a job opportunity recently that I wanted really badly.  It would have utilized my degrees and helped to advance me in my career.  I visualized myself in this position for months, just knew it would be the new challenge that I was looking for to make my career exciting and brand new so to speak, and then wouldn't you know it the week after christmas when I was in the hospital was when I got the news by email that I was not selected for that opportunity.  It was the same old song and dance they selected someone with experience or more experience  but were impressed with my educational qualifications.  How does one go about getting experience if no one ever give them a chance to prove their capabilities.  So I will admit it was hard to maintain my positiveness through that.  Now having had the opportunity to step back and reevaluate, looking for the silver linings here, I see that I have other avenues to pursue, things that I have wanted to do,  but have put on the proverbial back burner.  Maybe just maybe it's meant for me to take on other challenges and keep on keeping on in the career i am in at this time.  Maybe my higher self knows more about the bigger picture.  So when things start to get you down and you have trouble maintaining that positive momentum, stop, take a break and really look for the hidden treasures in your life, or hidden challenges that you may have put on hold and now may be the time to take them out and go for it!
