Remember when you could do anything? If you dedicated yourself to it, had a positive attitude, and worked hard – you could accomplish anything. Dream it – dedicate yourself to it – and make it happen.

This mentality got me through grad school…twice. This mentality got me my dream job.

This mentality is a lie.

There are some things that hard work, perseverance, and a positive attitude have no effect on. Some things are beyond your comprehension or control. You can do everything right and get everything wrong. This is infertility.

How do you keep yourself from despair when your dream is out of your control?
