Power of positive thinking

Use the power of positive thinking (but cover your bases). I am a big proponent of positive thinking, but you can't sit around and just think positively. Case in point, I just graduated college and had three quality leads for a job. Bank 1, Bank 2, and Mortgage Company. I gave myself a week after school to get organized and set forth job hunting, even though I had three leads. During that week Bank 1 said they were looking for more experience. Monday rolls around and I hit the pavement, literally and dropped off resumes at different establishments. The whole time, morning and night I knew one of the other offers would come through. Tuesday rolls around and again nothing, so I hit the pavement, staying positive and pushing on. Tuesday afternoon I get a call, Bank 2 wants to offer me a position, Jackpot - "I am employed". Tuesday night rolls around and the mortgage company calls, saying they would like to give me an offer. This is great, I go from unemployed living in my girlfriends parents house to being sought after! Moral of the story, even if the positive thinking didn't work out, I was covering my ass by going out and putting in the time to look for and secure another job. I leave you with this -

Put in the work and the money will follow

-Good Luck
