You feel devastated. It’s a feeling of sinking into something that doesn’t have an end. You feel both sadness and anger; blood begins rushing through your body so fast that makes you feel nauseated.
So many things are going through your head that you can’t even think clearly. There are questions that have no answers and it’s eating you alive.
I’ve been there, I’ve done that.
What you need to do is step back and take a deep breath and start by answering your own questions.
Let me ask you something:
When that occurs what goes through your head at that moment?
Could it be that your world is crashing and coming down on you, that you are judging and putting yourself down thinking that you are worthless. Do you feel as though you have not accomplished what you were set out to do? or, What did I do wrong and how can I fix it?
If you come in a situation when you get fired, you should accept that as if you got a new opportunity to grow and thank God for it. Stay calm and think of yourself as being the best employee that the company can have and it’s their loss not yours.
Don’t ever put yourself down because someone is trying to manipulate you. The company that fired you obviously wasn’t the right company for you and its better that it happened now, then if you wasted so many years into something that wouldn’t be appreciated. You have to think of this, that the company that hired you is looking for what’s best in their interest, it might not be the best choice of the company but you have to look for what’s best in your interest. You wouldn’t like to be an employee within a company for so many years being used and abused and not appreciated, and if you get fired this does not necessarily mean that you don’t have qualities or you’re not doing your job right. They will make it seem like that, but if you are ready to put yourself down then you will take that to your heart and you will sink deep down. So take that it as if they are not aware of what they are loosing, they have no idea what your capabilities are and how far you can go. They didn’t even give you a chance so that’s not your loss, it’s theirs. Each and everyone of us has potential, and if one is not enabled to reach their potential then you as a person must realize there are bigger things out there for you and most importantly, everything happens for a reason.
But we all tempt to blame ourselves not realizing that it might not be our fault.
Every time the old doors shut and new doors ones open up and you don’t even know if it’s going to be better because you are afraid to try . Because you took that to your heart you are becoming very insecure and you are starting to question yourself. Don't be so punitive towards yourself; in the previous example the company that fired you wasn’t worth it.
You know how good you are at what you do. Whatever it is, you are so good at it, that no company can destroy that feeling. That’s what makes you stronger, when you start to believe in yourself and your best defense is to judge them for not realizing how far you can go. By realizing your potential and through criticism you are able to become a better person, and through each job you encounter you gain more qualities that will take you further in life.
So next time when you are in a situation when you get fired, listen as to why you are being fired and don’t take it to your heart, just listen, learn from it and thank God so you can grow bigger and better. There is an opportunity for you to move forward. Don’t put yourself down, keep your chin up and smile because there is a company out there that’s waiting for you. So instead of marking and limiting yourself, take that as an opportunity to grow and go for it.
At the end, what can you lose?
