It is very easy to become overwhelmed, especially y when you are too young, taking on too much of what life has to offer. If you open your eyes, you will learn a lot. But if you are too ambitious, you will see too much and you will become overwhelmed. I felt like I was drowning. And it is possible to drown in only a few feet of water, but once you plant your feet and stand up, you’re ok.
Up until today, I had gotten myself into quite the downward spiral. I was a little to deep in credit card debt. My student loans had gone delinquent. I’ve been worrying about rent and my car and all sorts of things. And then, it hit me.
In a matter of days, life as I know it is changing.
I am starting a brand new job at a store with so much growth potential and that is what I’ve been looking for. It’s so much more secure financially than my other job. I’m also going to be transferring departments to keep a part time job, too. Also, I’m hopefully getting involved with a company that my friend works for, doing security for concerts and different events. Between these things and school, I should be able to get my head above the water.
Today, I made a payment on my student loans. Enough to bring one completely up to date and the other out of delinquency. I made a payment on my credit cards. Not enough to bring them completely up to date, but it’s a start.
Today, I’m taking a stand.
Today, I’m planting my feet and getting my head above the water.
Today is my day.
What will you do today?
