Six
months ago, I left a job at a small company. My boss, the head of the
company, agreed to call the break-up mutual, but I was leaving the
organization without any prospects for a new job. I know its the most
stupid decision to take but I didn`t give a second thought. I spent
the next few months looking for a Journalism job in a top media
publishing house that matched my interests and my degree, but that
was too late and the positions were not forthcoming.
After
difficulty in finding a new job in Bangalore not anywhere else ( I
was stubborn) I managed to coming up with a solution to manage rent
and after some kind of understanding with my friends, I found myself
surrounded people my roomie & some friends to rely on and an
increasing mountain of debt.
Later
after sometime my father stepped in and allowed me to help me
financially & take my own to look for the job I wanted. I was
motivated to change this situation, as I had no desire to be jobless
& dependent on parents for a long time. He was gracious and I was
thankful to him but we both understood that the more temporary this
situation would be, the better it would be for everyone. I
After
sometime I found a job with a media outsourcing agency which
kind of matched my interested and I decided to stay with the same
company couple of months atleast until I quit this job.
It
would have been risky for me to assume that someone would take care
of me, But this is a fairly common attitude. Faith in yourself should
come before faith in others if you decide to just sit around and wait
for the world to provide you with what you need thinking that someone
else will have your back, you give up your ability to grow.
In
reality, we alone have responsibility for our financial & life
decisions. A person who takes the approach that someone else will
take care of him and the consequences of decisions don’t matter is
eventually going to find himself in a needy position, and most likely
unable to fulfill those needs through the kindness of others.
I remember
getting so tired of being upset all the time. Finally, I decided I
was going to learn to walk in peace if it was the last thing I ever
did. Sometimes
you need to learn what the root of your problem is before you can
make any real progress.
It
would have been that I didn't spend any time before I decided to take
a few extra minutes to get organized and If I would have realized my
problems than blaming people around for problem it would have been
easy fix. But I realized there was a deeper problem underneath.
I
was surrounded by the wrong kind of people which stopped myself
understand the actual problem. It took a while when I realized what
God want me to see how the devil stole my peace.
Then I started
paying attention to how I responded to people and situations around
me and made a real effort to change things in life which made a huge
difference.And when you've come to a new level of maturity, that's
something the devil cannot take away from you.
While
you're praying and waiting for your attitudes to change, and for your
circumstances to improve, stand firm in your faith. No matter how you
feel, continue to say,When something or someone pushes your buttons today, let God have His way and say, "I refuse to live without peace."
