Manifesting Patience

You truly never know what this world has in store for you. Yesterday, I spent nearly the whole afternoon working on a job application. I was reworking my resume and cover letter to cater to the specific position which I knew I’d be perfect for.

However, it was taking me longer than I anticipated which began to frustrate me. I was taking so long to complete just one application. Like maybe I was being too meticulous and indecisive about small details.

By around 6pm, I finished and submitted the application. I then took the added step of emailing the recruiter and notifying them of my submitted application. I was taking a chance and while the doubts were piling up in my head, I felt good knowing that I truly gave it my best shot.

The next morning, my alarm woke me up in a groggy haze. Just as I was planning to hit the snooze button, I saw an email at the top of my notifications list. It was from the recruiter I had emailed.

She wrote me back to say that it was great to “meet” me and that she’d love to set up a time to chat with me and one other recruiter. I couldn’t believe it. All the time and effort that I put in the night before, culminated into this now tangible opportunity.

I couldn’t help but laugh at myself for worrying and stressing about spending so much time on just this one application. This was a lesson. Be patient with what you’re manifesting. It felt incredible that I received a response, but even if I hadn’t, I should still be proud of myself for being intentional and diligent with my time and effort.
