I feel good today because there are stuffs to look forward to, an old adage says 'when there is life there is hope', I reckon it goes backwards as well and it can be said 'when there is hope, there is life' cos what use is life when there is nothing to look forward to.
Looking back at my still young life, when we were younger and we were writing entrance examinations to either colleges or universities, as long as you have an exam that you are yet to see the results of, there is hope, cos once the results are out and you failed or put more subtly, you don’t meet the required marks, that’s all hopes dashed, you have to write more exams. When I was applying for jobs, I was looking for a job, as long as there are my applications and CVs out there, I feel like there is hope, there is something to look forward to, you expect news, that makes you more alive I know my religious folks will say that’s not the way of God, I am not writing this to the religious audience though. For my PhD place, I made loads and tons of applications some acknowledged but rejected, even more completely ignored and though I feel down once I receive one of those seemingly never ending 'sorry we can’t offer you a place' letters, it was made easier because for every rejection letter, there are 3 or more applications out there awaiting decisions.
Now I have a place the one chosen by God, it has come to that time during the journey when expert interviews has to be conducted, like all times in life, rejections and sorrys’ are rolling in, but thank God, there is something to look forward to, I just wrote some emails to prospective interviewees and I pray they reply 'yes', not 'sorry', but not withstanding, I am happy bcos, I have some work out there.
I feel the key is that, it is the works on your hands that God will bless, that to me means you have to work at least so that God will see something to bless. Do’ve a nice week ahead

Nice one, it is the work of our hands that God will bless. Though it was not a religious write up, there's this illustration I like in the bible. When God sent Moses to the Israelites, Moses thought himself incompetent. He said he wasn't good enough for the job. For God's sake, Moses was even a stammerer. To show him a sign that he was fit for the job, God asked him, what do you have in your hands? He had a staff (rod), and that was all he needed.
Personally, I have more than a staff already, so I know I have a better chance than Moses.
Peace
