I been in the current role as a Designer / Project Manager for a year now. I have always managed to glue myself to some company and never been out of work for more than 2 months or so. Mainly because I learnt one thing in life and that is that “No work is bad, EVER”

I have come across people who would rather sit and go fat than to look for something and on the other hand some complain “noo I got a fancy degree and I can NOT work at a grocery store”.. Well my dear friend “Why can’t you?”

I have a background that thanks to God has given me lots to be thankful for.  I have worked as the sole designer for amazing companies in London who’s names are known worldwide and on the other hand from a top glasswalled office to coming back to Norway and working at a 7-Eleven type of franchise for a year I didn’t feel bad at all. Actually I learnt so much from those experiences that I have absolutely no worry whenever I finish my contract with a company.

What would I feel saying bye bye to the current role? I would feeling just like I did as I got this job.. excited as ever! Looking forward to new challenges and more fun interviews. Because one thing I am very confident in and that is, once I get into an interview.. 9 out of 10 times I do get the job. Thanks to the dozens of company names i have on my CV, and the 10 out of 10 marks on reviews from my colleagues I worked with on over two hundred projects. I guess it does count for something.. all with the grace of God n duas of my well wishers and mostly my mum.

So a few tips for all my dear reader friends.

• Stay positive as there is always something waiting for you
• What you applied to if you don’t get, don’t be sad it wasn’t meant for you
• When you search jobs, send your CV to places that fall perfect to your skills
• Ask yourself what you want from life. Want to work to live or live to work..
• Do what you LOVE to do and when you do get that job, you won’t notice any change!

Sometimes we feel so helpless and yet again we have this faith in God as well. So if our faith is so strong in God then why do we go helpless? Isn’t that the time when we really should be showing how much we believe in him and his powers? Isn’t that the time when we should just let all things rest on his shoulders because we know he will take us out of this situation or that situation?

Life is definitely not a bed of roses, but it obviously doesn’t mean that it’s thorns all the way. We can either be sad that roses have thorns or be smiling that the thorns have roses around them. It’s just the way we look at things.

Being helpless does serve a purpose on its own.. it makes us weak in faith and makes us in a sense realize that we human beings and anything can happen anytime without us having any affect over it.

Lots of prayers going out to a very dear friend who needs lots of them to decide something that is in its own a life saving decision..

What in your view is being helpless..?
