Better Today

I feel better today. I have decided that I make my own fate in life and that I cannot let things upset me like this. I feel better. I am letting go. I read an article on Karl's blog.com about releasing. It helped me alot. I feel so much better and although the problem is not solved as yet, I have more clarity about the situation and I am not so upset about it anymore. It is amazing how it works. The best part of it all is that it is so simple and yet so effective. I love it and am trying to do it to every situation that bothers me. It is as if I find solutions instead of looking directly at the problem. I can move beyond the problem and see the solution. I love my new found tool and I love most of all the way it makes me feel.

Getting through the day

I am struggling today getting motivated for work. I just don't know if my heart is in the right place anymore and if I am hanging on to this job because I really enjoy the enviroment I am woking in. Don't get me wrong, I love what I do. The people I work with is really awesome and we get along very well. It is the boss. And I am starting to wonder after a weekend of deep reflection, if it really is the boss or if it is me. Maybe I am just blaming the boss for my own shortcomings. Our branch manager resigned and I was offered the position. I took it - of course! straight away. The issue I now have is that on friday my boss interviewed another candidate for the position and said that I am not yet ready to manage a branch. I was devistated. I immediately began to question if I really have what it takes to manage this branch and I have asked all my co-workers. All of them said I am the perfect replacement. I also know that I can do this. My boss on the other hand seems unconvinced and said that I must aquire all the skill and in the future a position might be available for me. The problem is that the boss is hardly here and over the last couple of months I have learnt from the branch manager and I have been doing the extra work and the extra time. Should I now confront my boss and explain this to him. I don't want to sound desperate, but I really put my heart and soul into this and don't want to be dissapointed.
That is why I feel so un motivated to do anything today. I am dissapointed and feel like I have been kicked in the teeth. I know I should not feel like this, but I do deserve more and better than what I am getting at the moment.

Proudly South African

World Cup fever has taken over the world and in this last week of soccer, we as a nation are united as one as never before in our history. I don't know what we are going to do next week after the world stage has left our shores and we are yet again plunged into normality. I think as a country we will have withdrawal symptoms on a massive scale. It is so nice to drive in the streets filled with flags and driving past cars with flags. The people seem to be more friendly and more patient. Not just on the road, but everywhere you may find yourself. New friendships are made in the strangest places. You find yourself talking to people that you would never have talked to before, but because you have this one thing in common, you put yourself out there and are being received by all. It is so wonderful walking into a pub not knowing anyone and after a good game of soccer walk out in a crowd of 5 or 6 people laughing and enjoying every minute of it.
I am proud to say I am South African as we really are doing a magnificent job in holding this world spectacle.

Is Blogging good for you

I have been struggling the last couple of days with that question. How good is blogging really for you?.
You put your life and experiences out there for total strangers to read about and comment on. You share your life with the whole world in essence. Is that such a good thing considering the age and times we live in with more and more phyco's out there preying on the innocent.
On the other hand, it seems to be a release of all that is personally bad for you. A person tends to feel better and more focussed once the words spill on a page and writing and typing is a sort of therapy for the every day mundane and boring and repitition we find ourselves in.
If there is anyone that can comment on this and let me know their feelings on the subject, it would be much appreciated. Getting more than one perspective is a great learning curve.
