My husband was telling me about someone he knows that got let go today. The person was not expecting it and was obviously very upset. Anyone who’s been through knows the awful feeling. Ugh.
The Rock (aka Maui in our house), recently posted a video on social media from his hotel balcony in Vancouver.https://youtu.be/7iye7YYJt6A
In it, he shares his experience being in the CFL – who knew – and playing his first game in Vancouver…and only game. He was cut after that. Dreams of pro football demolished. Devastation ensued, followed by desolation. Yet, he declares that it was the best thing that ever happened to him. Why? Well, clearly things worked out for him in the end right.
Not that I would wish anyone to have a dream smashed to smitherines, be laid off, get their heartbroken but if it happens it can be a blessing. If you can get through the muck of disappointment, you may just find yourself in a better place that you never imagined you’d be. I’ve experienced all three of the above and it sucks. But each step led me to where I am now. And having experienced what I thought would be the worst and coming out of it kind of takes away that fear of failure and allows freedom to try.
Perspectively Yours
