The Universe Will Take Care of You

I lost my job the other day. I screwed up royally with a last minute task that I had to complete. I allowed myself to become overwhelmed and frustrated and the next day after I completed the task I found out that I had made a mistake that involved the release of personal information of the CEO of the company. I walked off of the job without saying a word to anyone and didn’t come back. I was dismissed three days later, not because of my very, very serious mistake, but because I abandoned my job. I was told, by my boss in a subsequent e-mail, that while my initial mistake was serious, it turned out to be something that we, as a team, could have learned from and moved past. She told me in a subsequent that the more serious mistake that I made was leaving, the job without notice and that that was what was not acceptable.

In this moment, I realized that the true mistake that I made was that I stopped listening to the universe and let myself be guided by negative thoughts and emotions. This will always lead to undesirable results. I lost my job, not because of the mistake that I made, but because I allowed negative thoughts and feelings to make me take subsequent actions that made me lose my job.

After I realized that this was what happened, I calmed myself, settled down and started to listen again. When I started to listen again, a peaceful feeling enveloped me. I started to realize that the universe was once again working with me. I was working for me. That very same day, not more than ten minutes after I finished reading that e-mail an old employer called me up and hired me back. The universe was once again taking care of me!
