Grateful Diet - Day 19

All in all is was a good at work. A few weeks back, I was presented with the opportunity to apply for a new role within my company. The job requisition is finally approved and I was encouraged to apply. The hiring manager provided me some guidance on things that I should add to drive the discussions with the interviewers. Today, I was presented with another job opportunity and was encouraged to apply for the role. I am grateful and humble by the opportunities ahead of me. 

We are all free agents in corporate america. It is imperative to fend and fight for ourselves. If thing does not go well, the onerous is on us to fix it and face it head on. I had an epiphany moment when I read about employees are free agents in "What got you here won't get you there" by Dr. Marshall Goldsmith. I am grateful to myself for not sitting around and let others dictate my work life. I am grateful that I went out of my comfort zone to seek out new job opportunities. While I have ways to go before I find a new job, I grateful that I took the step to reach out to others.
