After reading “who do you want when you’re full,” Vanessa Torres, founder of ThatHappenedtoMe.com, wrote the following. ThatHappenedtoMe.com is a destination site for every woman who has recently ended a significant relationship. I love how Vanessa reminds us to NEVER underestimate our worth – something that is so true in our professional and personal lives. I hope you enjoy Vanessa’s blog as much as I did. Thanks Vanessa!
By Vanessa Torres Julie, you bring up an excellent point
When you sat down to that meal, you were already satisfied. You didn’t arrive at the restaurant starving, diving into the bread basket, stuffing your face and counting the minutes until your meal arrived.
You were enjoying good company and waiting patiently for what the waiter had described as a surely delicious meal. When the food arrived, you wholeheartedly enjoyed every last bite.
Often, when we are feeling lonely or frustrated with our lives, our judgment becomes clouded and we "eat" unconsciously.
It’s no coincidence that dating and career coaches repeatedly tell us the same thing - never underestimate your worth. Because doing so... will cause you to make decisions from a desperate place, and that almost never works out for the best.
I have a good friend who works freelance in an industry that regularly requires her to weigh critical issues like quality of life vs. money. Prestige vs. passion. And sometimes she goes one way, and sometimes the other. But, she asks herself the same question before accepting each gig: Is this job the professional equivalent of the first guy who asked me to prom? Would I rather just shore up my date now and know that I’m going, or do I feel like seeing if I can do better? The answer changes depending on her circumstances, but the important thing is, she asks the question. Every. Single. Time.
And what’s the lesson there? Sometimes, we have to take a situation that’s less than ideal and make the best of it. That shows flexibility on your part. A willingness to try new things and go with the flow. HOWEVER, a temporary situation doesn’t have to define you - if it doesn’t feel right, you are free to change it just as soon as you get the chance.
The bigger lesson? If you do your best to make important decisions when you don’t feel pressured, the outcome will almost always reflect who you really are, not the starving girl pawing at the bread basket.
And now I’m off to ponder dessert……
