“Call me a naive, but my hopes are very rarely tinged with doubt, that is until reality smacks me in the face. Though I think this is the roughest year on my dreams than any other I can remember”

I don't find that naive, rather, it is one of the things I love about you!

Good luck on the job hunt!

Lost a job that I didn't even have. Slept well after working like a dog into late last night to polish my resume. Got it down from 4 to 6 pages of relevant experience only.

Did I dream about this job? You betcha. Did I imagine the interview? The agreement? The small relocation for a few months? Boy howdy. Was I looking forward to this job? You don't know how much.

The job posting was written for me. Seriously, I have never read a job posting that literally described everything I have ever done and then some. And for a few, very scant hours, I was excited about finally bringing in a steady income doing what I do best.

Then this morning I clicked on their site to submit said resume to realize the job board hadn't removed the job, but the company web site had. Poof! Up in smoke.

So much for the hope. But at least I got a good night sleep, had a few good daydreams before the bubble was burst. Sign. Guess I need to go mope over some much over due coffee.

Call me a naive, but my hopes are very rarely tinged with doubt, that is until reality smacks me in the face. Though I think this is the roughest year on my dreams than any other I can remember.

Good luck and keep dreaming for that's the only way thing change for the better.

I was crushed and more angry than I've ever been. But I got over it. From that day, i decided never to get my hopes up. But now I see it more as a “stay grounded” way of thinking.

I love the excitement of a possibility. I love the chase of the dream. The thought of a great development is what keeps me going – without that, there'd be no point in *trying*, only *succeeding*.

And as always – we learn from those experiences. I don't regret what happened with that project last year – I met some great people and came away a better person because of it.

So I'd say – “Don't get your hopes up. But do sit and bask in the possibility that something great is going to happen. Enjoy the chase!”

Cool post!
