I've been in a bit of a 'what if' spiral after I was unable to move forward with a relatively good-paying job offer due to being unable to complete their rather complex verification process.
What if I had gotten a photo ID months ago?
What if I completed that one assignment on time?
What if I dived deeper into copywriting?
What if I had been better at leveraging my pop culture experience when I was 'hot'?
What if I pursued that sponsor?
What if I wrote that pitch?
What if I wrote more reviews?
What if?
Our society tends to be one where we look back. Say we are where we are because of that choice we made, and things would have been better if we did that specific thing better or if we did it at all.
But 'what ifs' don't let us move forward. They can't be changed. We have to, in the end, deal with the now, no matter what was done in the past.
The truth is that now is much more malleable and changeable than we often give it credit.
I am trying to remind myself to keep on putting out my best work and aiming to be better every day, because you never know what things could stumble on the path.
I never expected the out-of-nowhere offer from Spreaker Prime to join their network.
I never expected a PR agent to suddenly contact me for an interview and screeners.
I never expected amazing readers in the past few weeks to donate money as thanks for the work I do. Yes, I am so grateful and touched.
You never know what the next moment will give. So, it is better ot focus on the now than what could have been done in the unchangeable past.
