Hard times = times of growth
Well its been a pretty stressful last few days. Amidst all this drama, stress, and worry, shines a light at the end of the tunnel. Well, of course there's a light at the end of the tunnel, there always is, but sometimes it's really hard to see it for yourself. Opportunities bloom out of disasters, but it usually takes an outside ear, eye, and opinion to see the good in what seems to be disastrous.
I'm not out of the shit hole yet, but I'm in a much better position than I was 4 days ago. I finally got paid so was able to pay rent that was 2 weeks late, but as a result of everything that's been happening with my employer it was time for me to quit. I should be able to survive until January as I am, but that's not good enough. Throughout all this I've been searching and searching for my soulmate... work soulmate. I feel desperate to find what will earn me a living and make me happy for life. Is this possible?? My father thinks not. But he did offer some good advice (apparently some of the best advice he was ever given): take the best job you can get at the time. If something better comes up then take that job, and so forth. I like it - it simplifies things. Things being decisions. Every action has a consequence, every action a reaction. So, you better make your actions as good as you can. And if not, then deal with the consequences like an adult, learn from it, and move on. For example, last week I chose to email a colleague an email that perhaps I shouldn't have. Shit hit the fan, but it got me paid the next day! I'd probably still be waiting if that hadn't happened. I have certainly learned from this experience - I knew that much when I was right in the middle of it.
So even though I don't know work soulmate is at this time, I still have to pay the bills, so I will explore my options and pick the one that is best.
My ex step father Gordon who now lives in Australia gives me hope... he was a truck driver for many years, married twice, then after things didn't work out with my Mum, he moved to Oz for a year when he was 50 and worked on a boat for a while. It's many years later, and Gordon is now a commercial pilot, married again and happy as ever. He is also a certified snake handler and owns a couple homes in Oz - that sounds so great!! But I know he had to go through a lot of ups and downs to be where he is now.
On the future, as The Dalai Lama would say, "Our future lives are determined by our present actions, as well as those of our immediate past and past lives." Every action has a consequence.
Keep on truckin'!
