Wow! What do you even say to this prompt… A lesson you’re happy you’ve learned recently?

Trust me, I’ve learned a lot of lessons recently. One is to not trust anyone, ever which isn’t an ideal lesson to learn! Nobody wants to learn that and it’s not even a lesson someone should feel like they’ve learned. We should all be able to trust people we work with and for! (I’ll let that sink in for a few moments)

Is that enough time? Good!

The bigger lesson is to believe in what you believe in and do the right thing! I was too popular and had things working like an well-oiled machine. Staff satisfaction was at an all-time high and then BOOM! I don’t think I’m the crazy one.

But when I say believe in what you believe in, I’m not just talking your own principles. I’m talking something, or someOne much greater than ourselves. For me, that is God. For others, that is the same entity with a different name. It is faith. It is knowing that I am right where I’m supposed to be (even if funds are dwindling) and that I’m going where He wants me to be next. I also believe that when I landed in that place where positivity is a no-no, I was meant to be there. Why? To learn what I needed to learn for my next stop along the way? To have a positive impact on a number of individuals? I will never know. And that’s okay. Because I believe that.

So the biggest lesson I’ve learned is to not let go of that faith but to also let go of trying to take the wheel. I have a t-shirt that says God is still writing your story. Quit trying to steal the pen. Trust the author.

That’s the bottom line of today’s prompt to me.
