Don’t feel sorry for yourself. First, you don’t have time and second,
it is your choice as to how you will resolve this situation. You can
choose to feel down in the dumps, or you can go after the new challenge
with gusto. It’s okay to feel excited about the unknown test that is staring
you in the face. You should enjoy the ride—because at this point, it’s the
only ride you’re on. It may seem masochistic to relish this type of situation,
but I realized how important maintaining the right attitude was to
my success in this endeavor. Enjoy the rollercoaster ride of emotions as
doors open and shut all around you. In Dr. Richard Carlson’s book Don’t
Sweat the Small Stuff he notes, “Don’t let the highs be too high and the
lows be too low.” Stay balanced with your approach, and you will win the
game.
