8 Reasons Why Getting Fired Can Be a Blessing in Disguise

Published

losing a job

One of the hardest things one can face is getting fired. It’s not easy as you end up being shocked, confused, and angry at your former employer. Some of the reasons why employers let their employees go is because they are not fit for the job, a management change, or downsizing.

As a result of being let go, it may be challenging to imagine not receiving your salary at the end of the month. However, this can be a blessing in disguise because it will set you free to pursue other interests.

Here are 8 reasons why something great can come out of getting fired:

1. Some Me Time

Although getting fired may be very upsetting, it is not the end of the road. This newly acquired free time can be a great opportunity for you to take some time to plan the future. It also allows you to discover what excites you and the kind of activities you can engage in. For example, you can start a bakery shop because you’re passionate about baking and you’ll earn some money.

This can also be a great time for you to take a vacation, read, and focus on yourself and your health. In addition, you can spend time and energy with your family knowing you are free to begin a new chapter in your life.

2. Self-Confidence Regaining and Boost

Being fired doesn’t mean that you’re good for nothing. You need to realize this and stop feeling sorry for yourself. You need to stand up and face the reality. Find your talents and passion that bring out the best in you so you can realize your dream and regain your confidence.

This time on your hands will help you make a great success in what you are gifted in. One of the greatest successes is leading a happy life, and this can be achieved if you regain your self-confidence.

“Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do.” – Dr. Benjamin Spock

3. Self-Investment

Being at work may have cost you a lot of time and opportunities to invest in yourself, so take this time to take a management class you always wanted. Go to trainings and seminars on public speaking so you can continually invest in yourself. Doing this, you will find new opportunities will be opening up for you.

4. Getting a New Job

Now that you’ve been relieved, you can take the time to draw a well-structured resume by yourself or with the help of professional resume writing services. You can keenly go through a list of organizations you may wish to work for and work towards meeting their requirements in order to push your career forward. You may find that you didn’t enjoy the work you did, and you can now get a job that you will love.

5. Time to Start the Business of your Dreams

Most of the time losing a job is a wake-up call. You realize you never really worked on your dreams, and you may have pushed them aside. Now that you have time and some cash from the former job, you can make your dream come true. You’ll have the coveted chance to become your own boss.

6. Get Creative

Now that you have enough time, you can start looking for ideas to get creative. This can be by starting a blog or vlog where you document the vacations you’re now taking or your job search experience. Make something good out of the experiences you will be having and get creative. You may end up earning some money from it.

“Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt

7. Growing Out of Our Comfort Zone

As human beings, we often find comfort in what we are accustomed to and hence we forget about taking risks. This fear results in being stuck in life unable to make significant progress. Getting fired provides an opportunity for you to face and overcome your fear, to step out of your comfort zone and to dare. It is a wake-up call that gets you to reevaluate your life and reach out for things you would previously shy away from.

8. Being Diverse

In this life, nothing is guaranteed. This is the reason why you need to be diverse and not stuck on your job and the paycheck at the end of the month. You need to open up new sources of money and experiences other than your job which is not as sustainable as we would like to think. You need a fallback plan.

Open up a hair salon if you are talented at doing hair. Open up an art store if you are an artist. Do something else and don’t settle. Getting fired gives you a chance to explore your diversity fully and make good of it.

Conclusion

It’s best to find the positives in every situation even losing a job. Getting fired is not the end of the road. With the right mindset, it can be the beginning of greater things to come. It just needs time and effort so don’t beat yourself up and take advantage of the time in your hands. You can find great strength within yourself and start something new like a business or getting a job you love.

How to Break the Cycles of Mediocrity and Manifest Your Greatness

There is no greatness without becoming and there is no becoming with authenticity

Published

In just a few weeks, we will be wrapping up 2023. Can you believe it? This year has been absolutely incredible for me.

I have seen amazing doors opened, new relationships formed and I am seeing dreams realized in my life. While this seems like the hallmarks of a great year, this has also been the most challenging year of my life. With all of the change happening in my life, I have been forced out of my comfort zone and challenged to grow in every area of my life.

I can truly say that I have made the most of my moments this year and I have used everything as a catalyst for maximizing my greatest potential.

As a revolutionary leader, I have the pleasure of consulting and advising leaders around the world to fulfill purpose, realize their greatest potential and make an impact.

I want to share some insights with you that will help you to break cycles of mediocrity and manifest your greatness

Everything legal must come through the matrix

I am sure that some of you are wondering why I am using the term matrix. However, what you have to understand is that I am trying to make a highly complex spiritual principle practical to understand.

Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, every life has an origin and I believe that origin is divine and begins with eternity. You are birthed from eternity and into time to fulfill a unique purpose and assignment in your lifetime and generation.

The matrix is simply the portal or vehicle that brings something out of the invisible realm and into tangible form. The problem with much of the teaching today is that it excludes the matrix. We are told to believe that success is instantaneous and overnight.

Nobody talks about how a dream progresses through stages beginning with visualization and ultimately culminating in manifestation. Without a matrix or portal then everything that you attempt to birth and build will be illegal.

The matrix not only makes you legal but it gives you the authority and power to function as the greatest expression of who you were created to be. 

Every matrix has an incubation process

While many people admire and respect me today, I remember a time when nobody knew who I was or the significance of my message. How did I get to where I am today? I got here through an incubation process.

In other words, everything that has been destined for your life is incubating and awaiting a set time of manifestation. The problem is that most people live their entire lives idle and never initiate the incubation process.

What do I meany by that? Most people are living reckless and very few people are living intentionally. I am amazed at the number of people I have conversations with that have no vision, goals or strategies for their lives. They show great promise and they have undeniable potential.

However, without development they will die with their dreams still in them.

Everything that has been destined for your life must be incubated and converted to become realities born to time. 

“Visualize this thing that you want, see it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blueprint and begin to build.” – Robert Collier

You must give expression to that which is not yet born to time

When you think about a matrix or a prophetic incubation process, you have to understand that potential is often unrealized and untapped. In other words, your potential is in raw form and your potential cannot serve you as long as it is untapped.

The thing that makes me valuable is that I have the ability to convert potential into power. I have done it in my own life and I have empowered leaders around the world to do the same. How do you convert potential into power?

First, it is important to note that you have to perceive potential. If you cannot perceive your potential then you can never cultivate your potential. In addition, you must take the time to cultivate your potential. We often get excited about our capabilities; however, we never expand our capacity in order to realize our greatest potential.

In other words, the strength of your potential is only discovered through your willingness to stretch. The more we are challenged the more we are empowered to expand our capacity for greatness. Most of all, you must begin to express your potential. The expression of potential is different for every person.

For example, the expression of my potential is best demonstrated through the thoughts, ideas, products, services, books, etc.

For another person the expression of potential may look like a screenplay, artwork, sports, scientific discoveries, medical breakthroughs, etc.

Regardless of the form of expression, I know that you will live empty and unfulfilled until you make the decision to express your potential. The expression of your potential gives voice to your dreams, life to your vision, significance to your moments and activates your true power.

You must manifest your greatness

As a revolutionary thinker and leader, my work has impacted people around the world. I am grateful that my life is a source of empowerment to so many people. However, before anyone could ever benefit from my life, I had to make a non-negotiable decision to become who I was born to be.

I wish I could tell you that this journey is easy and that you will get there overnight. However, in a world that celebrates us for doing we are often criticized for being. As a result, I wasted a lot of time trying to be who other people wanted me to be instead of being who I was born to be.

There is no greatness without becoming and there is no becoming with authenticity. It is through our bravery to be vulnerable that we ultimately manifest our greatness. We do not bless the world by being a duplicate. We bless the world when we honor our difference. When you honor your difference you honor your potential.

Ultimately, your difference is how you manifest your greatness.

When you present anything but your authentic self to the world, you are playing small and you are robbing the world of your significance. Manifesting your greatness requires you to master your gifts.
