Forced To Resign But Not Totally.
Submitted by: BBB
PhilippinesI am a Filipina working as a Quality Assurance Officer in the Hospitality Industry in Kuwait. I am 39 years old and I have 6 year old daughter who is staying with my mom and sister in the Philippines.
Last year in March I had been feeling that I did not like my job anymore as my boss was not that easy to work with. That was until he got terminated!
In October I was on the phone with my boyfriend and I was telling him that I wanted to resign again because I was not happy with my current position as a QA Officer. He advised me to stay until right before we leave to another country to settle in. I mentioned that it would be better since I would get an indemnity payment for my service and that would be an additional amount of money for our budget when we leave. I felt bad at that time because I felt like I really wanted to leave because I was not happy. But that night I was convinced that he was right and that I should just go with the flow since it might only be a few months before we leave.
The following day, my manager called me to come with him to HR. I thought that since my job position was an auditor, there might be some issues with some people that I worked with. We sat down with the HR manager and my manager told me that they were giving me an option. I could either terminate my position or they could force me to to resign. They asked and realized that I could not decide so soon, so they gave me a day to decide.
I spoke with my boyfriend again and asked for his opinion. He said it would be better to have them force me to resign since I just got back 6 days ago from my vacation in Philippines. I agreed and then I filed a resignation letter.
I cried and felt bad at first. Later I realized that it was actually what I wanted and I believe that God and the Universe were actually giving me an opportunity to do what I really wanted.
After this I would do the lists of 10 things that I am grateful for from The Magic book. I would write, “Thank you that I got a job offer as a Training Manager for 750k wd. Thank you for making me feel secure.” Then I decided to read The Magic book again. I had read it before but I did not follow the daily practices. In January was when I decided to read the book and do the 28 days of the daily practises.
For almost two and a half months, I did not receive any job offers though I have been searching since day one of my resignation. But I knew that in divine timing, it would be given to me. I kept saying, writing, practising, and applying the gratitude practise.
Then I finally signed my job offer as a Training Manager!!! Though it was not the salary I had asked for, I am still thankful that I have a job waiting for me after rendering my 3 months grace period! I have been working with them since last tuesday for free because I was so grateful and besides, I am enjoying what I am doing even though I am not getting paid yet. I will officially start with them on the 24th of this month and sign my contract with them as well!!!
Now I know when challenges comes, it always turns out to be a blessing in disguise. I do not feel bad, anxious or sad when unexpected things happen that do not seem positive at first. As they say, when a door closes, a window will always open.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you so very much for all the challenges that lead to things going in my favor! The Universe is always working in my favor and orchestrating people, places and things to manifest my desire.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
