So it's 24 hrs since I got fired from my job.
A job which gave me everything I needed to provide for my family. You could say I feel pretty stupid right now. 7 months ago I made a mistake in a job and didn't follow procedures that were put in place in order for me NOT to do exactly what I did.
There are no excuses, no blame except on my part and definitely no hard feelings towards my colleagues from the last eight years.
I also don't see this as a particularly negative situation. I've been coasting along at that job and becoming ever more comfortable and unchallenged. I doubt I would have ever left and that's where I see the positive in this. I now can reflect and contemplate my next move with a good sense of where I am and what I want from a new job or career.
I was upset, and embarrassed initially. Now I feel liberated and ready for action.
I know I'm a better employee now than I ever have been, and I believe that it won't be too long until I'm back in gainful employment again.
Sometimes things happen for a reason, and sometimes things just happen.
It's how we react and how we deal with the event that ultimately shows what kind of people we are. I hope to prove to my family that no matter what, I can provide for them and nothing will ever change that. Today is the start of another chapter in an already pretty colourful life story.
Bring it on.
