I am waiting !

Posted on August 30, 2019 by Dr. Annepaul Vemagiri, One of Thousands of Career Coaches on Noomii.

Many times, it felt to me like it did to you that I am helpless or not able enough to achieve or grab what I want. A new job, a new person, a present person, a new thing or commodity, a new possession, a new something. It frustrates us and illusions us to be insufficient and helpless. A feeling of being alone on this planet seems to be hitting all of us. I want to give up and scream within me. I don’t know how to face the world. It is indeed like a dead end. Like nowhere to go and nothing to look forward for.

I have been here waiting for lives two important things. First a man for life and a new job. Its been 2 months now and I still have no clue when will my answer arrive. So while I write this article, I wanted to actually see what all I can do to get over it. This can help you for sure as it is helping me now.

So this is what I plan to do while I wait

1. I won’t wait: Sometimes we wait too much or focus so much on what we are waiting for that we miss to enjoy the waiting part. The part where we need to become still and refocus on ourselves. It is like on a journey to a place, we stop at the same place expecting the destination to walk towards us which should actually be the other way round. Do not wait for the thing or person. Look around there are many things you have now that you were waiting earlier for. Now that you have them, you probably lost your focus on them. Pay attention to your present. Enjoy them too.

2. I won’t expect: Expectations actually make us keep looking two steps ahead while we need to focus on our next first step. It is like walking up the stairs and we are climbing twice to reach earlier. We end up getting exhausted and overstretched and then we miss the point.

3. I won’t work hard: Our body needs rest and so does our mind needs it too. It is like a machine which needs its refresh time. So let your mind sleep or watch a movie or listen to music or meditate or do absolutely nothing. I tried gossip other the day and gossip is good. I mean good gossip about that handsome good looking guy. Nothing wrong in that, isnt it?

4. I won’t have plan B: Yes, it is highly recommended to be cautioned and always have a plan B. This is good if you are dealing with operations at work but when it comes to the passion of life, it definitely needs that one-sided love to attract it to us. Imagine you love a person in your life and that sweet soul is slow to catch the magic of your love. Would you keep another backup? Well, think about it.

So while you wait for your next dream job or your next dream life, keep walking. Do not stop. Do not run. Time sure has its own schedule and it strictly follows it for sure as time definitely to my guess is great at time management. Your new person or your new Job is scheduled to come and it will wait till its time has arrived. Till then be with what you are scheduled to attend to.
