3 Ways a Drastic Change Can Improve Your Life
People dread changes – be they big or small – but changes are not as horrible as many believe. I personally was afraid of even the smallest change so when I got fired and had no money to pay the bills and buy the food, it literally was the end of the world to me. I was confused. I indulged in wine every time I felt totally lost, until the moment I realized that my life did not actually end.
I worked really hard to find the way out, ate some ready-to-made food and saved each dime to pay all my debts off. I learned valuable lessons and despite all that stress I’m grateful I had to survive in that situation. Regardless of what happened in your life, even the most drastic change can turn your life upside down.
What seems horrible now can turn into something awesome later
Okay, I lost my job – the only source of my income; I’m not the one who can have countless jobs at once since I love to focus on one work only – so I had to figure out other sources of income to help me survive those hard times. I tried some freelance jobs and did some office tasks my friends asked me to do.
Meanwhile, I started learning a new language and improving my career skills. I was eager to learn, develop and turned from a fired employee who was underrated and abused by the boss into an expert who was confident enough to set own rules. I feel I have become better and I know my potential. If I was not fired, I would not have a chance to review my career life. That drastic change helped me realize that I can do a better work and earn better money. But I was too weak to quit that dead end job.
