But instead of freaking out, I already know, a much better job is already mine. I'm not going to worry about it, I'm just going to take the steps in the moment I need to.
You say you started doing much better at that older job though. Even though I have a lot of resentment, I should focus on doing my best, wherever I am and whatever the circumstances are, because in that way I am not putting roadblocks to my intentions by staying upset and angry, just to accept the situation as it is, something I have created in order to get myself into the next stage of my life.
So maybe I manifested your post to show that I'm on the right track, since it's word for word what I'm going through.  |
Of course you did. THat's how all this works. And yes, I did do a better job at my old job prior to leaving. In fact, when I told my manager I was leaving he wasn't very happy.
If you read the book "The Science of Getting Rich" he talks about that. He talks about outgrowing your current situation by doing much more that you need to wherever you are right now. Being successful at whatever you are doing right now so that you can carry that success with you forward. For example, if anyone tried calling my manager after I left he would have given me a great review, as opposed to if I quit my job the day after I almost got fired he wouldn't have given me a great review.
Another way to look at it is that people who say stuff like "I outgrew my old job so that's why they fired me." usually aren't well received.
