In life there will be disappointments but the way you deal
with them will determine your altitude. In my career, some would say, I have
been in a season of disappointment. I call it a season of development.
Currently at my job, I am in a leadership position but I wanted to transition
to another area to develop additional skills. At first, I was apprehensive about leaving
because it was comfortable. I have strong connections that took years to
develop. Also, I have a commitment to the community and I really love the kids
and families. Even though, I really love
what I do, where I work, and the people I work with there comes a time when you
need a change. Now, I always talk about taking action, so I did. In the past
year, I applied for three positions that would have taken my skills to the next
level but all of them ended in disappointment.
The first position I applied for I took the assessment,
passed, and was put on the list. My position changed twice on the list each
time higher than the place before. Then I received an email to go through the
whole process again, so I did, but it still did not workout. I then interviewed
for the second position and they offered me the job. I was so happy but I could
not accept it because the salary was way to low. At that moment, I felt a sense
of disbelief. Then I thought of the prayer I always say. I always ask God to
open the doors that are meant for me and to close those doors that are
not. Even though I was disappointed, I
still kept the faith and tried for this leadership intern program and I felt
like this one was really the one. I had applied for this program last year and
did not get pass the first round but this time, I made it to the last stage.
I just knew this was the program for me but I was wrong again. Another door
close, another disappointment, so what’s next, I said to myself.
That day when I received the bad news that I did not get
into the program, you know what I did. I called my mom for my peep talk and it
worked a little bit. My brother gave me words of encouragement and that helped
a little more, but I still was disappointed. Then something happened, I came
across a lady at Target who asked to pray for me and she let me know that God
knows the desires of my heart and to be patient.
Then it hit me….
Continue to treats things that belong to others like it’s
your own
You talent will make room for you
You want to walk in the Perfect will of GOD
What God has for me it is for ME
He has something better for you
Never Give Up
Try, Try, Try Again
Preparation is the key
Good Better, Best, never let it rest, until your better
becomes your BEST
Be thankful
