"i am happy.. i will be happy..happiness is here."


i was gonna reply this to a previous post but then i realized, a new thread would be wonderful.

five days ago, i was this lonely, frustrated and full of self pity person who feels that the world around me keeps on moving while i stand still... stagnant.... useless. Nothing came easy...every single step i took, i had to strive sooo hard to meet the requirements and wait painstakingly for the results. i was discouraged and rejected many times. it was awful. it was frustrating.

then one night, i listened to joel osteen, a brilliant pastor, and he said that every morning, we should condition our minds that we are happy.. that we will be happy.. and that happiness is here.

the next day, i woke up and told myself, " i will get myself a job interview today." I said it the very moment i opened my eyes while i was lying in bed. "i will get myself a job interview today." so i went in front of my laptop, went from one website to another, called one facility to another and finally got 2 facilities that is willing to accept graduate nurses. i felt so relieved. for weeks, somebody finally told me they would consider me. and that was the start. i went to that facility and poof! i got hired. just like that.. i got hired. no hullabaloo...no nonsense... i got hired!

it was exhilirating.... it was magnificent... it was one of God's miracles in my life... some might consider it coincidence, but for me, that was God's miracle.

so to all of those who feels down and miserable, we should all be hopeful....as joel osteen said, we shouldnt magnify our problem. instead, magnify our God.. "i am happy.. i will be happy.. happiness is here."

"There is no need for faith in a god as you are perfectly capable of having faith in yourself. " But congratulations, none-the-less.

Your motivational mantra to yourself reminded me of Annette Benning in American Beauty. "I will sell this house."

Oh, no Be_Moore... Without God, nothing is possible!

Paslm 18:2-3 "The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I trust. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised."

to be_moore:

we all have different ways of coping up with things... when faith to oneself falters, we hold on to a stronger faith.

thanks for your reply and reading the thread..

regards,

a.nurse.soon

Wow! i am soo happy that you got hired! What makes me happier is that you recognize that God provided for you! Im waiting for God to work in my life, I live in CA and nursing here is so impacted, I prayed and told the Lord that i was confident he would lead me in the right path, everyday i told him that i wouldnt be upset if i didnt get into the nursing program and now I am extremely happy to be pursuing a degree as a Respiratory Therapist ..God knows what he does and when to do it and just then our faith grows!!

Joel Osteen motivates me as well. Most of the time before I go in to work, I replay his sermons to help me start the day. Life has its challenges (especially nursing) but Joel Osteen states "don't talk to God how big your problems are, rather talk to your problems on how big your God is".
