Do Your Best and Things Work Out

How many of us have heard this in the past? If we do our best, things will work out for us. Work hard, pay attention, give it 100%. These are the things that we control. Take care of our business and "what will be, will be".

Other factors, outside of our control, may affect the situation. Sometime things won't work out the way we WANT them because of these factors. However, since we can't control them there is no sense worrying about them. Focus on what we control and "leave the rest to God".

I agree with all of these points. I share them with my family and friends when the situation calls for it. I truly believe that what is outside of my control is not worth the worry. I TRY to leave it to God. I'll do my part and He will do His.

Right now, my company is downsizing. After nearly 19 years, I may loose my job. The economy, our particular business environment and many other valid issues are driving this change. I have given my best to the company through the years and they have rewarded me. My career has progressed nicely. However...

The thought of being without a job scares the hell out me. I rationalize the situation with all of the logic above, but deep inside I shake like child. I've done all I can and it is out of my hands now. I pray and I wait. I was suppose to find out next week. now they have moved it to January. That's something.

I've done what I can. Now I have to sit back and hope things work out.
