Sometimes I Get It Wrongly Wrong

http://my365daysofgratitudeandhappiness.blogspot.com.au/2011/09/day-224-new-chapters-long-blog-this-one.html

So I got some of it wrong! That gut feeling? Probably too many jalapenos on my enchiladas, I think. That job lasted 6 months and let's just say (if I am going to brutally honest, then now is a good place to start) that it proved a steep learning curve.

So.........what happened? Hmmmmm.

I trusted too much and too quickly, that's what happened. I had a lapse in judgement where I thought that my honesty and transparency would be returned to me..........and sadly it wasn't. Instead of soaring with eagles, I got eaten by vultures. (It's MY blog and I can be as honest as I want to be).

No, I didn't get sacked nor did I get told to resign and that's all I'm willing to say about it. The business took a turn down a road from the one that I thought we were ALL travelling on and, alas, my integrity would not permit me to continue down that detoured path. With a bit of time and space to think about the events, I have no doubt that it was premeditated and that some people act recklessly and with no concern for the impact their selfish actions have on other people. Me? Bitter? You betcha!

Let me say that it will not stop me from displaying the utmost integrity in all my actions nor will it impede my trust and faith in the better side of humanity but, to get all religious now, there WAS a snake in the Garden of Eden and, sadly, Eve made a bad choice - shit happens.



The positives? SURELY there are positives from this experience? You betcha! (she says, dusting herself off and gaining some strength in her wobbly knees as she gets back up again). Honestly, there ARE positives from this experience and here they are:

• I discovered the stuff that my family are made of - the true stuff, when the chips are down kinda stuff - and I will not forget how brilliantly supportive they've been about this
• I found out who my friends are and how utterly loving and supportive they have been to me
• This experience reinforces my belief that there are good, pure-hearted people out there who operate the way I do......and I have surrounded myself by them
• I have removed the negative forces that I've allowed into my life in the last 6 months and they will not influence or taint my life again. You'll find them on the scrap heap with all the rest of the dung monkeys
• I have a new job - one that I was looking for before I was side-tracked and distracted by this last horrid one so, if nothing else, I took the scenic route to get here.





So, let's develop some healthy amnesia for the last 6 months and progress forward to happy, successful, brilliant times where I will reap a much healthier crop after resowing, right?

To better days and lessons learned - thank you Universe!
