If you're currently looking for a job, I hope something good finds you unexpectedly.
A recruiter reaches out.
An interview comes through.
An application gets noticed.
An offer arrives.
May this season change for you. 🤍
I worked a job I hated for almost 4 years because I couldn’t get a job in my field. My mental health was the worst it has ever been. I was at an all-time low, and I couldn't get out of that headspace. I felt like a failure.
I interviewed for a job in my field back in May. Just that interview changed my perspective. Everything started shifting. My mental health got better. I started caring about my future again. I got a call in July, and I got the job! I became excited to get out of bed. I’m back at the gym. I’m working towards getting my body back. I’ve lost 10lbs so far. I feel like myself again after all of these years.
I’m happy.
It gets better. It will just take time
For years I measured my value by how much I got done.
The tasks. The goals. The output.
Now I know:
If you only feel enough when you’re doing, you’ll never feel safe just being.
So detach your worth from your productivity.
What you achieve will look different every day.
Your self-worth doesn’t have to.
If you grew up walking on eggshells, read this twice:
Nobody’s mad at you.
You don’t need to over-explain.
You don’t need to fix the silence.
You don’t need to shrink to keep the peace.
Healthy relationships don’t require mind-reading.
If someone is upset, they can say it.
If they don’t, that’s not a test you failed.
You can stop managing how everyone feels.
You’re allowed to just be.
Some prayers are answered with a blessing. Others are answered with a PROCESS.
This picture reminds me that we did not begin where we are today. We grew here. We PRAYED here. We made mistakes here. We kept choosing each other here.
Never become so obsessed with the destination that you dishonour the season that is developing you.
The seed does not argue with the soil because nobody can see it yet. It stays planted.
Purpose.Marriage. Family. Destiny. They all require the courage to stay planted long enough to become.
Be patient with what God is building.
Some of your greatest blessings are still under construction.
There comes a time in life where a lot of things are unclear.
In those seasons it’s easy to question your ‘why’, you aren’t sure about your ‘who’, your ‘when’ seems eternity away and the ‘how’ gets you up at 3:00am breaking out in a cold sweat.
Being still in those moments is tough but it may be your best bet. It’s in the stillness that you can remember who is God and more importantly who God is!
@AkyereLeah Getting a job, relocating abroad, and finally experiencing the peace of a regulated nervous system. God, I don’t think I’m asking for too much. 😭🙏🏽
one thing i learned from being sad is you just have to feel it and once you’re done, you just need to go out of the room because life is so much bigger than the room you’ve been living in. trust me, it works.
