Meanders unfold into an path...

leading upstream...

I got the job... it's funny how one door can open and I suddenly see why my career path was made to take so many (seemingly meaningless) meanders... i gave up a seemingly stable job in an MNC after graduation 7 yrs ago... worked there for 3 yrs, left to (try to) carve my own business - failed miserably, i had no idea how to start even. Joined my dad in the automotive insurance business... and gradually moved on to automotive sales, it came to a point I asked myself if my degree adds any value to what I am doing.... and sadly, the answer is not an affirmative one.

But this job came and I realise... if not for all the turns I've taken, I wouldnt have landed in this job straight after my first job... because I could never have seen myself in a sales job. The only reason I became a car salesperson was because I liked cars. But after joining the sales industry, I have expanded and enjoyed it so much, I knew I wouldnt have things any other way.

It's amazing how He can make everything so clear in an instant... I'm glad I held on long enough, and thankful for the people and guidance He had blessed me with. Equally thankful that He had scared me into seeking other jobs desperately, sent me this open door at the right time, and made sure the key was in my hand... so all I had to do was open it...

Hallelujah, praise be to God
