The Day My Doubts Almost Derailed My Dream

Remember that promotion I was gunning for? The one that felt like the perfect next step in my career? Yeah, about that… the interview didn’t exactly go as planned.

Walking out of that room, my confidence was shattered. All the self-doubt I’d kept at bay came crashing down. “Maybe I’m not good enough,” it whispered. “Maybe I should just stick to what I know.” Ugh.

Feeling defeated, I wandered into my favorite coffee shop, needing a serious pick-me-up. That’s when I saw a worn copy of “Man’s Search for Meaning” by Viktor Frankl. It was a book I’d been meaning to read for ages, a story of resilience in the face of unimaginable hardship.

Cracking it open, I stumbled upon this quote: “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own course.

Those words hit me like a bolt of lightning. Here I was, letting self-doubt dictate my next move. Frankl, who endured the horrors of concentration camps, was reminding me that I had the power to choose my response.

Suddenly, the negativity started to fade. I wasn’t defined by that one interview. I had the power to learn, grow, and try again. With renewed determination, I pulled out my phone and started brainstorming ways to improve my interview skills.
