Kacey Musgraves’ work life lessons
Aren’t there times when you sit behind your desk and say you’ll “quit some day when your ship comes in”?
How many years have you done the same old thing and suffered the same old s**t. Office politics, complaining customers, missed deadlines, late nights, incompetent bosses, under funded budgets, unrealistic expectations.
The morning commute is a chore, that is if you’ve even managed to drag yourself out of bed.
When you’re feeling this down about your work, your life becomes miserable and your mindset means that you “can’t see the flowers for the weeds you grow”. It doesn’t matter what it is, but “for you it’s always bad to worse”.
There’s no point getting stressed about it and putting this stress onto others. “I’ve never gotten taller makin’ someone else feel small”.
I hate to tell you this, but “if you’re ever gonna find a silver lining, it’s going to be a cloudy day”.
By putting yourself out there and in the way of the cr*p you’ll also be putting yourself in the way of good things that come your way. The challenge is seeing it — “If you wanna see the forest, you’ve gonna have to look past the trees”.
