Looking back last year, I feel that everything that happened to my work environment was pure devastation. It was at the beginning of the year when I turned down a great job offer because I felt that the pay is not worth it. So I stayed with my current job. A few months later, I was transferred to a different office location much to my devastation. I was hurt and crying for 2 nights because they were uprooting me from my 2nd home of 10 yrs just like that. And then it was followed by series of events that I no longer wish to discuss.
The reason I’m telling you this is because I just want to share with you my epiphany. It was true that at that time, I was really devastated of all things happening but little did I know that really things happen for a reason. If I were to dissect and analyze it, it all happened for my own good and protection and comfort.
So yeah, devastation connotes a negative impact and I really don’t like to be associated with it as much as possible but something good comes out of it. That’s what we have to look forward to after devastation I guess…

Welcome! I do find myself intrigued to know more about the good things that emerged for you. The main message I hear is a reminder that “devastation” is a label we might give events that happen in our life … which can sometimes turn out to lead to something wonderful. So is it something about wanting us to have hope, even when we feel like there’s none?

Maintaining hope can be hard when you can’t picture the possibility of how it will be better. So hearing stories like yours helps remind us I think of the fact that just because we can’t see what it will be … there is reason to hope.

when you think everything is against you, there is nothing much we can do but hope. It’s for free and no one can take it away from you.
