A Time to End and a Time to Restart
Today, one of my workers served me a quit notice and I didn’t debate it, I didn’t fight it, I didn’t reason it, I didn’t ask for closure. I’ve learned that insisting on getting closure is a scam but that’s a topic for another day.
I didn’t feel bad or disappointed, maybe I had grown to not have any more expectations of this particular worker, and who does a good job in many aspects and is lacking in some others like any other human being and maybe I had seen it coming but it didn’t evoke any particular feelings in me. There are too many maybes to spend time dwelling on.
All I thought was that it was time to move on both for me and for V. There is a time for everything under the sun. I believe that when phases or seasons or relationships or partnerships come to an end, all involved parties need to pick up the lessons and move on.
There is no better yesterday or the good old days, there is only the future to be built. A thriving future filled with life in abundance.
I also quit my previous job sometime last year, working there was a chance to fall in love with clinical medicine again and an eye opening experience. I have no regrets whatsoever. Quitting was necessary for me to move on to the next phase, no matter what May have triggered my decision to quit. It was a reset button for me, for both my work and personal life and I believe that one or two things have been adjusted by my former employers as well following my quit notice.
The end of a thing is often a wake up call to reset, to readjust, to re-strategize.
You see, growth involves some shedding off and some pruning, your blood cells need to die for new ones to form, your skin cells need to shed for new cells to come on, you trim your nails to make them more beautiful, you trim your shrubs and flowers to allow for growth. A seed must be buried into the ground to allow for it to sprout. The day must end for a new one to come.
So let’s embrace endings. It could just be the new start everyone needs.
