A Door Closed, But the Universe Opened Up Wide For Me

Yesterday, Eighteen days before Christmas, I was walked out of my job. Never once was I told I did something wrong, nor was I ever reprimanded for anything. The reason given to me was that they no longer needed the position and were eliminating it. Oh, and by the way, did I have any questions?

No, not one question. I did, however, see through the BS.

Not too long ago, a young man was promoted from within to the exact same title as me. In fact, I was the one he came to gather information on what and how to do things. Shortly after he was promoted, I felt the energy shift within the department. I tried ignoring the signs, thinking I was being ridiculous, however, I know better than to ignore the flags.

I was given a two-week severance agreement to look over. In the agreement, there are two mentions that if I chose to file an age discrimination claim or an Older Person’s Act Claim; both of which I am protected, then I will waive my rights to a severance check.

With that said, I’m told I should be angry and go after the company for promoting this young man and kicking me out. But as a very close person once shared with me; “Don’t let others’ ‘should’ on you.”

So, as of today, I am sticking to my ground and taking what the company is offering me without putting up a fight. My energy is meant for another journey; one that I set in motion 4 months ago and the universe is now answering. I wasn’t prepared for how I was going to travel down this new path, but I know that the universe is opening up the sky for me.

A door closed on me, so I started knocking and I fully believe the universe set the plan in motion. I am now journeying down a path that I created for my own well-being rather than the path others think I should be traveling.

I won’t deny I’m a bit anxious, but I know that by following the wind, I’ll be led to the correct nest…
