Although I’m still not happy with how things have been dealt with and I’m still frustrated, it is what it is and with these lemons, we can sure make some lemonade.
Today I share a prayer with all of my co-workers, whether you are religious or not. Just know that God knows each of us by name, he’s knows the future and he is still in control, even when it seems otherwise. Whatever happens tomorrow or in a few days/week, keep the faith and keep your chin up, there is life after UHG. You are valuable and special and God has a special purpose for your life.
If we are among those laid off, grieve, but do not wallow in the grief for long. Let’s pledge to ourselves to shake off that feeling and embrace the new possibilities that are passing our way.
Channel those emotions into acquiring that new hobby, launching out as an entrepreneur or making that career change that we always had on the back burner.
If we are among those that remain, it won’t be a breeze. We will miss our co-workers, people leaders and friends and who knows how much our jobs/responsibilities will change. Let’s use this time to re-evaluate our priorities and career goals. Where do I want to be in 5, 10 or 15 years? Is there a greater purpose or calling on my life that I have shelved all in pursuit of $$$? What changes do I need to make in my life before I am forced to do so?
Remember that in the larger schema of things – spending quality time with, and having our supportive families and loved ones around us is what really matters. I pray that God will touch and comfort our anxious hearts. In the sea of turmoil may He give us peace. May he abundantly provide for our needs as he has promised - be it emotional, spiritual, financial, mental, social or physical…
Whatever happens… Keep the faith!
Remember God loves you, you are so special and valuable in his sight, there are so many great plans that he has for your life. Lean on him for all the strength that you need to get through this. Whatever happens… Keep the faith!
