I got fired 5 years ago on this day
Reflecting on how my journey has changed.
I got fired 5 years ago on this day from my first job. Right now I’m on a 6-week long vacation.
By the time this holiday ends I would’ve taken 8 weeks off and visited 3 countries in 2024 alone.
Back in 2019, I was 23, and it felt like my world has fallen apart.
Half my team was asked to leave.
Since then, I have
- Travelled to 15 countries
- Become the first entrepreneur in my family
- Become financially independent
- Made a living out of doing what I love (writing and teaching)
- Owned my time entirely
5y ago on this day, I cried all the way from Friday to Sunday because I felt that my career has ended. I thought nobody would hire me and my self esteem was completely crushed.
I write about it each year because someone out there is feeling hopeless about their life and career just as I was. They don’t know why there’s a downfall and think everything is crumbling down.
To you — I want you to know sometimes the universe has a way of making us go through the worst so we can build from ground up. What feels like the end game…
