Job 13:26
"You fasten my feet in shackles; you keep close watch on all my paths by putting marks on the soles of my feet."
I am rather naive when it comes to my corporate career. Much as I have aspirations, dreams and goals, I also do not do enough to advance myself to be like the others in the rat race. How then can I advance like others who put in so much more effort right?
It does not help when the bomb of a massive restructuring was dropped in the midst of the business trip. A-Bomb size, it involved my business category merging with another. With all the talk of restructuring, the reaction for all would be to start the look-out for other opportunities as well as doing what is needed to start grabbing possible life-lines.
While everyone is trying to figure out what are the details to happen and some are scrambling to secure something. This is when I show my absolute naivety to all at work because I often elect to sit and do nothing. Not because I'm an expert given the fact that it is my fourth restructuring or retrenchment exercise in the last 5-7 years, but the fact that I know that my steps are predestined.
So, while everyone is waiting in anticipation for greater details, myself included, I'm sitting at work, going about life as per normal and very grateful that all the steps of my path are always set by God.
M.
