There are more things I regret about Oprah Winfrey and fewer that I like, however, one thing she said has put her erstwhile followers in good stead, that is her Thank You Journal. I have been keeping one since when she first mentioned it several years ago. “With introspection, even the mundane and sublime become beacons of light and forbearance.” Mm. I think I’ll claim that quote, Lol.
A positive approach, let me know how I can help you. Thanks for commenting. \o/
I had to make many changes in my life.
Hello Vidocka, I’m sure you must have. That is what we are about, apparently, allowing circumstances to alter our directions. Eleanor Roosevelt once said you gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ Thank you for commenting. Andre’
I have been trying so many changes and actually been going through rough time. We have an issue on salary and division of work load. I am hoping for some change anyway, nothing is constant.
Hello Inchay, Make sure what you don’t like about the job. If it’s the job itself, find what you would like to do, no matter what, then learn about the new job, read about it and even offer to work some hours for free in your own time, like weekends or after hours. Then make the change, you have only one life, why do you have to be miserable? No reason, right?
yes, very true, we only live once. I love my job now, it’s just that we felt outcast since we are in one umbrella but when salary increase comes we were left behind. Our higher office is now dealing with this.
That is wonderful, Inchay, If you don’t mind me asking, what have you learned about preventing the same problem? Is there something you can do to make things better for all?
we are working in one big department or government agency here in our country, I am working in one of the sub office here in our place, we are four here and when we’re having a convention, we discuss about this and other related matters and would send it to the higher office.
I have made many changes over my lifetime.
Hello Carol, of course, you have but are you happy right now my friend? If so, find ways to enhance the good experiences and, if not, look earnestly at what you dream of doing then go for it, my friend, you deserve the very best life can give you. Too soon, you and I will leave all things behind.
