Positive Quote For The Week

Monday tends to be the worst day of the week whether you are working or not.  I want to try and change that by providing you with an inspirational, positive, or otherwise helpful quote. Today's quote comes from Lucius Annaeus Seneca, a Roman Stoic philosopher:

"A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials." 

So this week, try to perceive the trials of your unemployment as actually helping you to develop as a person. The benefits of unemployment may not be obvious, but maybe you are developing strength of character, or learning a new skill, or appreciating different aspects of life that you neglected when working.  It may seem tough right now, but some day you'll look back and be thankful!
