Greatness was never achieved by never failing.
I wanted promotion so bad. I was thinking of a better career because I know I can work hard for it. I just needed a plan. I wanted to be better. I want confidence back in my system and so I took Nebosh classes for me to be able to practice Health and Safety, I was thinking of being a HSEQ Inspector. I have read books that people can earn a lot in that profession. It took me 3 months of training, studying and ignoring everyone. I isolated myself. I wanted to be in the HSEQ Dept. I studied so bad, invested time and money. I prayed daily, I want it so bad, it was a 3000AED investment. I saved, like what I did on my driver's license which I took take one by the way haha at 5200AED NET!
AND after all the hard work. I flunked and it was amazing. AMAZING!
I didn't feel bad, a little cringe was there when I think of the money spent. A week before the results, I got promoted. Into a different department. It wasn't planned. It wasn't what I have hoped for. But God gave me something better. I may have lost money but I was happy for doing something rather than staying in my comfort zone. It doesn't matter anymore, when you fall you rise.
I will still try to take another retest or give nebosh another shot. We'll see, but for now Procurement courses are on!
Just wanted to share how God hears our prayers. We should trust God's timing because it is perfect! Never despair, if you don't get what you want, it may be because it will not be good for you or the timing is just not right yet. Plan for it, pray for it, and wait for it. :)
