Out of the Frying Pan and into... #Fired?

It's been one week since I lost my job at the big corporate office in Eden Prairie. While I don't pride myself on this accomplishment, I do pride myself on the fact that through this I have managed to remain calm and positive.

There are so many things that have happened in the past several months that lead up to my situation being what it is. I knew from how things were going, early on, that my job was going to end at some point. Possibly there were things I could have done to legally adjust my situation, but knowing I didn't belong there anyway, really  helped me to accept my fate.

I'm not telling anyone to just give up. Heaven knows, I did not give up. I worked my butt off to improve my situation, but when your butt's almost invisible from all the work you've done, you can rest easy knowing you didn't just throw things away.

When life kicks you because you made a wrong turn, that is your cue to adjust yourself and get back on a more proper path. My path was off because I strayed from what comes naturally. You can only do the unnatural for so long before your spiritual guides say, "listen here homes, you know you're miserable. If you don't fix it, we will." In my situation, my guides stepped in and said, "here's a lemon, let's see how you deal with this?"

I made the most crushed up messy lemonade I could possibly manage, but now that I've done it once, next time I will know better, right? I'll know that I stepped off the path and my spiritual guide, or whomever watches over you, won't have to say, "hey, I'm throwing you a curve ball cause you aren't listening."

Now that I'm out of the fire, I can focus more on what I really want in life. I want to be a writer. My passion is writing, along with photography. Perhaps a travel writer, or a blogger? Scratch that, a blogger who gets paid, because right now I'm blogging and I haven't made one red cent. This doesn't matter though, because I'm feeding my soul just be doing this.

Remember to feed your soul in whatever you do. It is important that you not put yourself through a situation in which you are miserable every single day. My doctor told me that if I didn't quit my job, my health would continue to get worse. I had manifested physical illness and pain onto myself because I was that angry and miserable. I didn't quit though, I was fired. My guides couldn't take the misery and pain anymore; I have so much life left to live, that I was given another chance to figure it out.

So here I stand at the end of a long and frustrating journey. Thankful to make it through and ready for the next exciting adventure I get to partake in. Life is full of wonder, love, mystery, and exciting experiences. I think I'll write some books, marry the man I love, and photograph all of my travels and moments with friends and family, because those are the things that matter.
