I want to
share the emotional, traumatic and
shocking incident that is currently happening in
my life. There is the old saying that, we are never to old to learn and that
there is always a first time for everything. It is true there is a first time
for everything. Although I have experienced so much drama during my lifetime
and have managed to overcome, I find the latest attack against me cruel and
downright unnecessary, but I have come to realize that there is a life
lesson to learn here, a lesson of trust, patience and ultimately the peace
that passes all understanding. A blessing in disguise!
Sometimes
in life and as we get older, it would seem that the most important factor is
peace of mind, simplicity and good health.
Well for me, good health is something that I can say I definitely have,
simplicity is another huge factor that works for me and most important peace of
mind. Now my peace of mind was disturbed
this week when I was thrown into a
predicament that I had never been in before.
Throughout
my working career, I have always maintained that was the one area of my life
that I would protect, work hard and remain diligent. I am proud to say that
although I have worked for about five companies over the last 40 years or so, I
always have been perceived as an exceptional worker. I might have made mistakes
and taken a stupid decision with my
personal life but work was an exception, I remained committed.
However
much trauma I had to endure throughout my life,
it was all related to my own personal
time, such as deaths, dealing with delinquent
children, sick people, poor people, the
lonely, the lost and the outcast, and the usual
ups and down people experience. I can deal with trauma, insensitive people (at times), crazy people and
problems. What I cannot deal with is people who blatantly
plot against others, persons who are
obsessed with a “mightier than thou” attitude and we have a lot of those
around.
I consider
myself to be a peaceful, honest, hardworking person. I am an approachable
person and have always remained committed to helping people, especially the underprivileged. It is just how I am, a kind-hearted soul who wants to do good. The
problem today is that there is so much evil in the world and kind-hearted
people get the worst deal. The tough people take advantage of the good natured
people but it's OK, in my heart I still
believe that it is better to overcome evil with good and have a clear
conscience. Peace of mind that is the
ultimate goal to have inner joy, happiness and contentment.
Over the
next week or so, or at least, until I
have closed the entire incident, I will share my thoughts, feelings and actions
of my last few days at work. I was handed a letter on Wednesday, March 2nd
suspending me with immediate effect. I am not going to divulge the reason at
this stage as I believe it is irrelevant. What I want to share, is
the reactions of people, the loyalty and my approach to this incident.
It has been
two days since receiving a letter that will ultimately change my life forever.
The initial shock was sort of dramatic
for me, as I have never experienced such humiliation. Of course, there are feelings of anger, resentment all coupled with
a dark cloud of disbelief.
The mind is
incredible, when a sudden unexpected
incident happens, the thoughts that crop up are scary. As one sits quietly and
tries to process the entire saga and the anger subsides, logic kicks in and a
new understanding starts to happen. When
your world is turned upside down, it is
unbelievable how the mind and body tackle
the sudden change and for me, I am thankful, and can say that I am shaken but
not defeated. Every day, I am appearing
to be calmer, happier and accepting the change that is about to occur.
I believe
that the incident is a process to a better future. Although I would never have imagined that I would end my career in
this manner, I think there is a higher
power that is moving to close this cycle of my life. I say that because I have wanted an exit plan for years and was too afraid to jump into the unexpected. I think
sometimes we all need a push in the right direction and this is not the end of
my life but a beginning of the new exciting journey, one I eagerly want to
embrace.
In the second article, I will share the thoughts and perceptions of people
who are currently helping me deal with this matter and how the most unexpected
incidents just happen.
Stay blessed.
