Set Goals And Never Stop Trying To Reach Them

The problem that settling for any old job poses for relationships is that it can start to build resentment for your partner.  Sometimes both people (and sometimes just one) are sacrificing their dreams in order to save money for the future and there is a line one must be careful not to cross.  First, understand that it is a temporary sacrifice and promise yourself and each other that you will continue to look for your dream job while building your experience.  Never let yourself fall into the trap of a comfortable living, because you likely won’t get out of it.  Always aim to reach your goals and, once you have, set new ones.  If you live your life this way, you will never be wasting your time because you will be constantly working towards something.

A Step In The Right Direction

Having to start in an undesirable job also doesn’t mean that you have to put off your personal goals.  If marriage is what you are working towards, start saving, and make it happen.  Life is always going to throw you curveballs and you cannot expect to know when they are coming.  The best you can do is to prepare as much as possible and then work with what you have.  It’s just like John Lennon said:  “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.”  You can’t stop hardships like recessions from occurring, but you are in control of your own actions.  Don’t be so caught up in the ordinary that you miss the extraordinary.
