Unexpected blessings

Has anything negative happened in your life that ended up being an unexpected blessing? I don't think any person on Earth can answer "no" to this question. This doesn't mean the pain is any less, especially in the beginning, but over time we realize everything happens for a reason.

One unxpected blessing that comes to mind that many of us can relate to in this economy is the fact I was fired almost two-years ago from my job. I'm sharing this very personal fact and what I learned so it will inspire others to keep their chin up!

This is what I learned...

No one can take your confidence and wisdom away from you. I walked out with my chin up knowing my contribution to the company's success and people I managed. Now it was time to take my life's learnings, strength and confidence to help other women keep their chin up and move it forward.

Pssst...trust no one in the corporate world. Sorry to say it, but unfortunately it's true. Learning to be cautious in the workplace is a really good thing.

I was meant to do something much bigger in this lifetime.

"Thoughts become things...choose the good ones." - TUT

While chasing money and carrying a big title, I always knew I wanted to do something bigger with my life, something that truly had purpose. Of course, I never knew what it was but still this desire was always there. A year ago I launched MyInspirationLounge.com and early this year, I launched InspirationLounge.tv - both unique destinations to empower women (and gents!) around the world with the most practical tips and change-the-world inspiration the web has to offer. This journey alone has been an amazing first step in how I can be the change that I want to see in the world!

Unexpected blessings have made me realize that when I get kicked down, I stand up strong. It may take me some time before I get back on my feet - but you better believe I'm going to be stronger than I was before!

Chin up!

Ask if you really have to do this, and what value is being produced from your doing it. Don't think about the time you've put into it, or how much it's taken over your life.Replica Handbags Wholesale|
