Motivational Monday: Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sometimes as the unemployed and as the entrepreneur, life gets us really down. We feel like no one wants to hire us and wonder what aren't we doing to make the opportunities come our way. We feel like we do so much marketing and networking and interacting but the clients just don't seem to come. We beat ourselves up because we want things to happen now. We lose site of who we are on the inside because of the influence outside factors have on us.

The following quote is a reminder that no matter what you've been through in the past and what you will go through in the future, don't beat yourself up. Sure situations may get you down, but they are all a part of life and they help you to become a better you.

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."

         -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Turn your trials into tribulations!
