Hangman this is an awesome post! You are right, opportunities are everywhere and I am glad everything worked out for you! You give excellent advice thank you for sharing   |
| Date: 6/21/2011 2:43:00 AM ( Admin-SS ) and to answer your question... I left one job for another about 8 months ago and it landed me in being employed for 6 months which was heartbreaking i felt defeated but thankfully a new job... although not in my chosen studied profession... was offered to me and I am very happy with how things are working out until i find a new teaching job |

A great post Robert, but in saying that my young friend, you had people helping and advising you, not everyone is afforded those hands of friendship or a strong shoulder to lean upon like you had in those uncertain times..Some have to struggle to come to grips within their own lives as to what to do for the best and hopes for it to work out for them... I hope that your post can help others to gain confidence so that they can move forward in their lives like you managed to achieve..  |

I enjoyed reading about how you perceive the opportunities that have come your way. I had an experience that might not be so dissimilar from yours. I applied for a job at an organization that helps people who are down on their luck. I got the position and then noticed that all the paid employees were always so worried about what raise they might get, or if the bosses saw what they did around the company and would commend them on their hard work. When the time came for reviews to be done, the mood got really tense. Employees would snap at each other and I almost quit right there and then. I however waited to find out what happened and who got raises or promotions. Even after that I couldn't stand the emotional struggle that the paid employees were putting themselves through. The bosses didn't do it, they seemed to care about everyone who worked there the same. So I quit. After a month, I realized that I missed helping people so much that I went back to volunteer. Can I just say, that move on my part made all the difference. Now with the other volunteers we did anything we could for the love of doing it. No one cared about a 2 cent per hour raise, or a different job title . . . we just couldn't do enough to help out. I will work at my other job for money, but when I want to help out, and fill my soul with something good . . . I will always volunteer. I achieved the peace and calm my soul was searching for.

CP, the key is to trust your insticts beyond a shadow of a doubt and know that what you are currently doing is leading to bigger and better things. All becomes well when you trust and keep moving forward. I hope that my post inspired you in some way. Zema and I could not have made the decisions without your guidance as well. When I always told you of my plans you always told me to do what is right for me and not to ever look back. I would not be where I am now without having you as a friend in my life! Be-Jeweled, Welcome to USM! I enjoyed your story and I agree with you that if you truely enjoy something without the raise or promotion then its best to keep doing what your doing. However, if it were a paying job and you were doing everything you can and they raised everyone else in promotion and salary, then its time to start worrying. I have always believed that good hard work should be praised and rewarded even when the position is voluntary, even when you are not doing it for the money or the promotion. Sometimes people need to know that what they are doing is acknowledged, so they can keep moving forward with a smile knowing what they are doing is for the greatest good of all. Now to anyone out there who gets the impression to leave your job or volunteer position, because someone else got a promotion or award before you...the best thing to do first is to talk with your boss. They may not have understood the fact that you wanted that position or were in fact interested. Sometimes they may be happy that you came to them with your honesty, and sometimes you may be given that raise or promotion or reward you in another way. If at that point you feel that your boss is making excuses or rather not acknowledge what your doing, then it might be the best thing to get up and walk away knowing that another place is out there that will appreciate your hard work and efforts. Good leaders or bosses reward those who do the work, even when its out of pure kindness or voluntary. That is where the phrase comes in "Give and you shall receive". I hope that your motivations will always be pure though LOL. SugarBear your welcome and I look forward to hearing what decisions you make regarding your job.   |

I want to also add the fact that those who have left your jobs or voluntary positions, don't ever regret the decisions that you made. Life is too short to have any regrets. You made your decisions out of intuition, instinct, and the little voice inside you telling you it was time to move forward. If you did your best to try to work with your boss or even if you tried real hard in a loving relationship, and you felt that your reasons went unnoticed, don't ever feel like you failed. Look forward, smile, and keep going in another direction. Trust me in the fact that there are many places out there that will acknowledge what you do and you will be very happy working for people like that knowing that your appreciated. For those that feel stuck in their work life or any type of relationship that they are in, thats what your going to get more of, if you don't do anything about it. Too many people feel that things will get better so they wait longer periods of time, until one day they realize that they are still unhappy because things did not change. Best advice is...when you feel that its time to go, don't complain. First try to resolve it with the person you are having issues with. If that doesn't work, walk away and go onto something better. Don't ever look back, nor ever go back. In time when you look back months or years later, you will realize how things fell into place after you left something behind. I also have to say that I was never like this many years ago. I used to take other peoples advice over my own. Big Mistake! I was too afraid to speak my opinions, out of fear of a job loss or upsetting someone. However, through life experiences I became a person that will see and speak the truth. Speak your truth with honesty and pure motivation, and do what is right for you...and you will be amazed at the things that are happening in your life. Have faith and trust in yourself, the Universe, and know that when one door is closing, one is beginning to open to adventurous and mystical lands LOL. |

What a great story. Intuition is such a gift, and if you pay attention to it you can reach your highest mission. Thank you for being an inspiration and reminding us all to follow our dreams and heart !  |
| Date: 5/27/2017 9:22:00 PM From Authorid: 67528 That was amazing and so uplifting. Every time I decided to move to another area or state I knew it was the right thing to do, even when I didn't have all the money in place. One time in particular I remember calling a place for rent and telling the woman on the phone that I needed a place like yesterday. I was so surprised when she said sure you can move in tomorrow. I was able to move into this apartment the next morning. The place was beautiful. It was my first apartment in a new state. I had no car and no money but help was all around me. God is awesome and I am so thankful, even to this very day. It showed me that no matter what decision I made bad or good. That God would protect me and help me through it all. |

Hangman, I truly don't know what to write as I am a little stunned on how I am feeling, so please forgive me if I don't make sense, as I feel like I want to cry, but my tears are not of sadness but of hope, you see Hangman your life story is one of the most inspirational posts, I have ever truly read, YOU truly are an amazing human being, and I feel so blessed to have come back to USM and to still see you here, and to read your stories although they are years old, they still are changing people's lives, because I can honestly say that reading this has started something inside of me.. Which I believe is HOPE and FAITH that all my dreams that I believe will come true. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul.  |
