I prefer to publish stories that have a level of happiness to them. There is enough sadness in the world without me adding to it. Perhaps it's my country upbringing or the great influence of my Pop who used to say "you're a long time dead, so make the most of your life". So I've mostly put a public face of fun and joy out there even though I have had times of disappointment and sadness.
I recently experienced some disappointment with regard to my music career. As most would realise, I'm very passionate and very emotionally connected to most things and my music career is where I feel the most for. Thus, it hits very close to the heart when something disappointing occurs.
I went through the five stages of grief and then decided to live by pop's credo. So today I have been able to accept what has been done and move on to a better situation. I love to learn and grow and right now I'm very proud that I have been able to see around the picture and come up with solutions to the disappointing scenario. They are positive, helpful and forgiving in nature.
If we can't learn from our disappointment and actively work to help redress a situation then the lessons sent to us from the universe will be totally lost. I didn't want an opportunity to pass me by; far from it. So now I am smiling again and ready to tackle the next step in my career, whatever that will be. Yes, I've been a bit down, but not out. As the late great Tom Petty wrote.."I won't back down, no I won't back down....stand my ground, and I won't back down"
Have a lovely weekend everyone and remember how much we can learn and grow from disappoint
love
Susan xx
