The power of gratitude

I started working for a call center in January. Everything started off well, as I was happy that I had a job. All of a sudden I started wanting more; a higher salary and better working hours as this job started at 6am, I needed growth. I started disliking my job. I’d complain about it every day and was applying at other places. I would get called for interviews and assessments, but would turn out to be unsuccessful. This happened three times.
I felt depressed. My performance dropped, and the more I complained the worse things became until one day I received the Secret from a dear friend of mine. I read it and started thinking positive.
I became grateful for the job I had and things started looking good. I started telling myself that April was my last month working there, and I wrote a resignation letter and signed it by faith. I had told myself and believed that April was my last month there and kept telling my colleagues how much I’d miss them. I received a call from a huge company asking me to come for assessments, bare in mind I hadn’t applied for this job, a friend of mine had referred me. To cut a long story short I now work at this company getting paid double what I was getting at my previous job. I handed in my resignation letter on the last day of April and started at my new job on the 3rd of May. Changing the way I thought about my last job got me a new one it was when I stopped complaining and started being grateful that’s when things started to happen. I wake up and say thank you every morning and this has changed my life for the better.
