I made a turning point today………
I made a turning point today. I finally broke free of the denial I had been building in my
mind. I finally realized I lost my job and income. My heart ached, my shoulders were
heavy with grief, my eyes watered, and I wondered how I was ever going to survive
without my job?
I made a turning point today. I was so angry at being fired. Look at what they did to me;
now a broken person. I am feeling lost with no direction, no reason to get up in the
morning to shower. What should I do with all the things I have surrounded myself with
that remind me of my work or success? How could they fire me after I have worked so
long and hard for them? What kind of people fire employee who have given over time
without complaint, compromised time with my family, busted butts to make them money?
What am I going to tell others? I am embarrassed for failing. I hate myself for allowing
myself to become so consumed by a job.
I made a turning point today. I decided if they were to ask me back, I would become a
perfect super human being. I would never ask for a sick day again, nor think any
negative thoughts about management...raise? Who needs a raise? I would love my
position and job no matter who they promoted over me. I would make my boss tea in the
mornings in his favorite travel mug and add just the right amount of sugar and cream. I
would agree it was my entire fault and believe it to be true.
I made a turning point today. I know I’m not going back no matter how much I beg. No
amount of work could make them hire me again. They were right in firing me. It was no
longer a good fit for both of us. Why did they fire me? Did they even notice how much I
did for the company? I am never going to find a great job like this one again. I don’t
even want to talk to anyone ever again. I have no desire to work or play. I just want to
shut down for a while and think about what I used to have and know what I have lost.
Loneliness consumes my soul. I just want to shut my eyes and stay focused upon the
dreams I once knew. I just want to circle in the sky and wait for it all to be fixed again
someday.
I made a turning point today. I got up, took a shower, ate some breakfast, and noticed
the sun shining. I opened the curtains so I could enjoy it to its fullest. I made myself
clean and dust the house after I applied to a few online ads. As I dusted items reminding
me of my old job, I took great care. I am grateful for the time I was able to work there. I
went over in my head the lessons I learned while working there. I put some things away
and kept my awards out because they are nice to look at once in a while. I took my cup
of coffee and drank it with a smile on my face. I am ready to face the world again. I am
stronger now than I have ever been in my life. My new job will be better. Life is good. I
decided enough energy had been wasted wondering how, when, why or if…. God is in
charge of my future now. With God's help, I choose to accept a better place today from
Him.
I made a turning point today…I laughed.
