Work has been a rollercoaster for me. I always feel like when I take a step forward, I am pulled back twice. There is always one roadblock or another. Funny thing, people always say ‘there’s progress’. I acknowledge that there is progress but sometimes, I can get impatient when it feels like my work is floating.
I am learning to adjust my mindset from ‘things have to go my way or how I presume it things should work’ to ‘your ways are right, but others have innovative ideas also’. While this is what I practice, I cannot deny that sometimes I feel that my voice is being suppressed or more like people choose not to listen to what I have to say. To contextualize, I had been pushing for something but it was always shoved; now, out of the blues, that idea or task is what is being pushed to the front burner. While I am happy we are close to aligning, I am upset that it took long, falls on my plate again and will delay progresses.
While I sulked, I realized that beyond all this, some way, some how, things still fall in pleasant places for me especially when I ‘surrender’ and lay it all at GOD’s feet. Rather than sulk, I am going to grab the opportunity, do my best, collaborate and ensure that we succeed. I am not where I need to be, but I am grateful for where I am and the efforts I am making to move forward.
I hope we all keep learning that things may not always be as we envision and it is okay to brood emotions for a while but right after, pick yourself, find the positives and THRIVE.
