I’ve recently lost my REAL job, which is what has triggered this post. Not from anything that I did or didn’t do, simply from the short sightedness of management. But, I am over it, I took a moment to reflect and compose, now it’s time to grow. Everyone will say that change is difficult–whether it is self driven or it’s forced upon you.
Change IS difficult, but it will also make you stronger. You take your past lessons and apply them to the future. Where there is a negative experience, there is a way to spin it positive. The downfall is letting it affect you in a negative way. Perseverance is very powerful and we need to harness this power to get to a better place–a place we WANT to be in.
I believe that wherever we are–in life, in location, in mental state–is where we belong. But, if you don’t like where you are, that is where you need to change. And yes, it will be difficult because we get comfortable in our surroundings. Yet, it becomes power and we need to use that power to become better.
I am also reminded of the lyric “Tear the whole world down”. What this is saying is that sometimes, in order to make this change, you need to be willing to throw it all away, literally flush it down the drain, in order to create something better and start over. I am not yet at this point, as my career is still very fluid, but I know deep down, that if I were faced with this challenge–I WOULD “Tear the whole world down”!
