Have no expectation or hope that you got the job; simply accept that what has been done has been done, and what comes of it is "what is", and move on. That way, if you get the job, great! If not, no big deal. (And it really isn't. There is always another opportunity, another option, another door to try.) People get too invested in things and work up a set of expectations, when really they only try to control "what is" with their expectations, and if they don't know how to do that and fail, it only makes them unnecessarily upset.
Accept what is, and be at peace. Let go of efforts to control the world and "what is" through your expectations. Work with "what is", instead of against it. Let your emotions be still.
As I once advised Keith, don't try to push the river.
Is this also a metaphor for dealing with what happened with my ex-friend?
