Happiest Day At Work
I must have swivelled my chair for the umpteenth time with a wide smile and sighs of relief deeply rooted in a feeling of triumph.
It’s obviously the happiest day of my almost two years on this job and I surely deserve a treat for this achievement.
Salary increase? Promotion? Successfully executed a project? You couldn’t have guessed right!
It defies the advice of job experts, wouldn’t acknowledge the yellow signals from my bank account and said ‘why not’ to the ‘whys’ of disgruntled co-workers.
I resigned my job while still looking for another.
Finally, I summoned the courage to say enough is enough – to paydays with sighs, to barriers on the flow of my creativity, to being trapped in an atmosphere saturated with mediocrity.
I simply said NO with no iota of fear or likelihod of regret to being less of who I am.
I know it’s a tough call but I’m prepared to lengthen my cords and strengthen my stakes for the enlargement that will surely come.
I know so well and see with my mind’s eye of faith that my decisions today has opened up a new lease of life for me.

Hi Shola,
Did u say u resigned ur job?
That's really brave of u.
Guess what? that could be one of the best things you ever did.
Go girl! Achieve your dreams.
Good for you!! Be proud, you can only go up...
That must have taken som e serious courage.
There something better out there waiting for you,no fears ok.
That was very courageous - to have resigned without a back-up offer. Hope you get a new job u like very soon. Or r u moving into the self-employed sector with a big bang? (smile)
...did you hear that Shola " the self employmed sector" :)
Nothing is impossible! In Jesus name!
Step out... expand your boundaries!
That is a bold step to take.I admire your faith and am believing God with u that something better is on its way very very soon,Amen.
and i thought i was the only crazy one...i wasn't brave enough to drop out of university when i was being trained on a stone-age curriculum...and am almost going for the attraction of the big beginnings now...but one thing i am sure of is i am directly where God wants me to be right now, and that's my guarantee. I doff my heart to your FAITH...it never fails.

Wow!!! thatz a brave thing to do and pray ur job will come in due time.
I feel we all have been shaped by the Nigerian economy, my goodness! the fault is not in our stars, really. All the same, that's a lot of guts!! but wait o, that must have been the sanest thing to do in that case. Shola, enjoy ur retirement, oops! ur freedom, i mean.
...not 'cos you resigned but, 'cos you know (& acknowledged) what you don't want.
THIS to me is the height of self realisation.
I did the same sometime ago, and it was the best move I ever made…Good luck. Its not about being brave, its just the smart thing to do...sometimes!
Goodluck in your quest for a better job!
