I Didn’t Give Up.
Submitted by: Elizabeth
CanadaNewly graduated and moved away from home.
After graduating from university, I moved to a new province with my partner for his job. The thing is, people in this province did not have the same first language as me. Although I could speak the language at an intermediate level, I knew I had some more work to do. Before moving I did not get myself down with thoughts of ‘what if it doesn’t work out because of the language barrier and I can’t find a job?’ I remained positive because I had just discovered the LOA and wanted to practice everything I read.
Fast forward a little. A little while after moving to the new province, that positive attitude started to fade away, and the negative thoughts of “what if’s” started to creep in. I became discouraged and felt bad about myself because I was a few months into moving, freshly graduated, and had no experience in the job field I wanted to be in. Each time I felt down and negative I always talked myself into getting back up on my feet. I would return to my positive thoughts and trust in the Universe because I wholeheartedly did believe in the LOA and the Universe. I would remind myself each day that the Universe had my back, the Universe has me on the right path, and the Universe is bringing me something even better than I expected.
Months went on, getting rejection email after rejection email with no good news in my job search. But I still had the Universe in the back of my mind and always chose to believe.
One day I saw a job posting for a company I had applied to twice already but never received an offer for an interview. I thought I should just apply again even though the other times lead to nothing, I told myself I would regret not taking the chance and I don’t want to miss any opportunities out of fear of the past. So, I applied.
The very next day the HR manager called me and we had a great chat in my first language! The day after that she called again and set up an interview with the hiring manger! The hiring manager even spoke to me in my first language! The interview went great!! After the interview, thoughts of doubt crept in. Thoughts like, I should have said this or done that, or I’m not good enough, or someone else is going to get it. However, every time those thoughts came in I said to myself “Cancel!” Cancel those thoughts! I would envision my phone ringing with their number, telling me I got the job! I even let myself rest for days after the interview because I knew I’d be starting work soon and I deserved a break from all my hard work. I would look at people who posted this company on their Facebook when they got hired, to envision myself doing the same thing! I would read stories on this app about jobs to keep my spirits high and I would think of how and who I would tell when I got my amazing news and how I would celebrate!
A few days later I got the call. I got the job!!!!
Words can not express how happy, thankful and grateful I am for the Universe truly has brought me even better than what I could have ever imagined into my life! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Universe!!!!!!!!
To anyone who feels like they have hit rock bottom and there is no light at the end of the tunnel, please keep pushing yourself to believe because I know exactly how you feel and I promise you it does work out. Better than you ever imagined.
