I am often told that I am a very positive person and that it takes a lot for things to affect me. I have been that way for a long time and I think it's because I continue to trust God/ The Universe. When I was moving to Austin, from CT in May 2016, I didn't get a job until two weeks before I left but I trusted that it was meant to be for me to be here and that as long as I trusted God / The Universe that everything would work out and it did.
My recent example of trusting what's meant to be will be happened in January. At the beginning on January 2018 I was feeling unsure about my job. I went to my church's life group on one Wednesday night and prayed for guidance about my next steps. The next morning I received a LinkedIn email about a job opening at a nonprofit I have been dying to get hired by. I told myself that I would apply next week and see what happened. That same day, Thursday, I had a meeting with my new director and we ended up talking about my job and my next steps. We decided to table the conversation so that I could take some time and come back to them on Monday. I took the weekend and came back on Monday and told them that I wanted to stay and I was told that I was being let go. The company was great and let me have a chance to say goodbye to everyone, I was given a month’s severance, and I left.
On Tuesday, I applied for the job at the nonprofit at 2:30, I received an email at 2:40 about coming in for an interview the next day. I went to the interview on Wednesday, I was asked to come back for a second interview on Thursday, and then I was offered the job on Thursday evening. On my start day, that following Tuesday, I was talking to my new boss and they told me that I was the last resume they saw before closing the application site.
I strongly believe that because I continue to trust the forces around me that I am protected from the negative and guided towards the positive. The Universe is always on your side.
