SycamoreCircle Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I find myself dwelling on things that end unfavorably. For example, I worked at a job I really liked for nearly three years. In October of last year, I was fired for reasons that are still murky to me. In January, the company folded entirely. Former co-workers told me that my being fired was a blessing in disguise, since they were all owed a month's worth of back pay. The company has now remounted, with mostly new staff, and I find myself looking at their social media from time to time. I've also been dwelling on another professional/personal relationship that ended unfavorably some years back. I tried to make amends with the person, but it seems it's past the point of repair. I accept it. And there are times when I tell myself that it was probably for the best. I just am not very good at letting go of things. The people and things I bring into my life, the choices I make are always carefully considered. When something goes amok, I feel it very deeply. Are you the same way? Would you say that this is both a blessing and a curse? Link to post Share on other sites
digdug75 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 To a degree I feel the same way! Although my when I think of the past it tends to do me no good, and end up getting depressed. I have learned that thinking about past can only help if I am attempting to learn from the past. In my opinion as far as curse vs. blessing. I would say this. 10 years ago or so all trials or bad things in life that has happened to me caused me to feel cursed. Though today and the understanding that I currently have of life. Trails in my life have been blessings. They have all helped me to grow and become a better person in many ways. You losing this job may very well be the best thing for you. It could quite possibly be that you will find a better more secure job with a stronger company. I can understand the curiosity of why did I get let go? Link to post Share on other sites
