Life ownership

A friend of mine works in a large tech company.

Within this tech firm, the threat of losing her job has loomed large for a year now.

Not because she was bad at her job but because the company has mismanaged their finances and need to make lay offs.

For a long while throughout the many rounds of fearing for her job, then feeling safe, then fearing for her job again she became depressed and demotivated.

But that changed when she decided she was no longer going to sit around waiting for some rich old white dude to decide if she can keep her job or not.

She took control of her destiny by upskilling and preparing herself for a new job.

So if the worst came to the worst she would be ready to go.

She said there was a point where she shifted from being a hopeless victim to a creator of her life where she hadn’t actually achieved anything yet but just making that decision made her feel ten times better.
