Behold the power of positive thinking….

…or just damn good luck.

I will try to make this short and to the point (hence, the bullet points).

1)I have been unhappy and stressed in my current role for a while but I love the company I work for.

2) A few months ago I realized the direction I wanted to take in my career. I realized what my dream job would be. I also realized that in order for me to start realizing the dream that a spot would have to open up in my dream department.

3) I did some praying and hoping.

4) Then I remembered that as much as one can pray and hope that it works better if “you put your half so God can put His half”. I have always liked that saying because, dude, give Him something to work with! And so I did. I asked around. I put my interest out there. I started getting positive feedback.

5) Eventually, after a few months, an opportunity opened up in my Dream Department. I applied. I was the first interview. I waited. I bit my fingernails. Finally, almost 3 weeks after my interview I got the call that the job was mine!

THE JOB IS MINE! I am elated. I am ecstatic. I am excited about the opportunity this presents, for the new challenges that it will bring, and for the change of pace. I am also thrilled to be moving to a department full of people whom I genuinely like and respect and who (even better) respect me.

The motto strikes again: LIFE IS GOOD!
