I had an awesome conversation this week with our Nurse Manager, Michelle, about how we question whether or not we are where we’re meant to be. We both started our jobs here within the last year and discussed similar stories of our past work experiences. I worked at a mortgage company for a while over a year ago, and due to severe headaches I had to quit. She was also working as a Nurse last year, and had to leave her job due to headaches.
As we realized just how much we had in common, I knew it wasn’t an accident that we had met and become friends and coworkers. We both expressed feeling compelled to work here and serve women at this non-profit, and when the time was right, we conquered our fears and applied for our jobs after a time of unemployment. She said “Maxine, I am meant to be here. I doubted and worried, but there is nowhere else I should be in this time in my life.”
What powerful words! What if I said that confidently over my life. That I AM where I am meant to be. What if I saw each day as filled with opportunities to be a good friend, wife, coworker, or employee and to help people? Michelle’s passion to help women facing pregnancy and her willingness to bend and be flexible when the unplanned happened with her headaches and loss of her job is truly inspiring to me.
What are the opportunities in your life today to be the love, the help, and the change you want to see in the world right in the sphere of your home, work, and friends?
YOU ARE WHERE YOU’RE MEANT TO BE.
