Perfect opportunity

I applied for something that I've wanted for a very long time, I see it as my purpose (addiction field in general) and Im obsessing. I am convinced that I'm not getting it and won't get the opportunity any time in the near future. I just want it off my mind since I won't know until two weeks (or longer) from now.

Congratulations for reaching out for something you really want.

Unfortunately you just have to hang tight and wait a response. You can't do anything or change anything at this point.

If you don't get this one hopefully something else will come along soon

Like Dolphin14 said, putting yourself out there and trying is the victory. Whether you get the job or not, remains to be seen.

Also, I’ve had many opportunities I wanted and thought were “perfect.” What’s that song by Garth Brooks’s? Thank God for Unanswered Prayers? You may not know best.

A lot can happen in two weeks. Who knows, a better job may appear Tuesday.

Put off your obsessing until at least tomorrow.

Try and think about other things and do what’s in front of your nose. Lynne
