Everyday maynot be good, but there is something good in every day. April 26th

With all the challenges I had to my job; my team's performance and my individual performance were on the verge today. Our individual contributions towards productivity are more expected than the input we and resource we have. Still we need to keep our standards and remain in the good books of our management and other active teams. Thinking of all these, I was actually stuck there. Instead of identifying steps to tackle the situation or forming bits of collective ideas to plan the entire course or atleast think on solution, there I was. Stuck as if the road in front of me was completely closed, it was all thunder or storming happening, God!! I dont know. My real problem: closing my eyes, not identifying the opportunity, not understanding what the nature is telling me.

My Job: Client Acquisition & Relationship, Recruitment Administration, Recruitment, Sourcing & Networking, Team Development & Training(when required), Maintain and update Database, Handling Telephonic Interview, Coordinating for Interview/Meetings, Handling Client Accounts, etc, etc.

Our team size is directly inversely proportional to the requirements we handle (higher the requirement, lesser the team). F2F interviews happening for four of our Clients, pending requirements is more than what we can achieve, all these thoughts kept on pressing me from the inside. I felt; 'gone this day'. Nothing nothing good is gonna happen. Evening I have to walk out of office as a bad day spend. How, when, where I was seeing everywhere. This made me sit idle. Deeply hurting. Deeply someone murmuring. I was lost.

Deeply someone murmuring. I slowly started hearing those voices. Something from inside telling me, asking me to get up, move up, look at the task, concentrate. The voice started getting closer. I could now hear that clearly. Glenda, you are doing wrong, open your inner eyes, look through the task, go through the details, try, try to focus, you can do. God wont give you burden that you cannot carry, He knows your capability, He knows you can do it. I felt those words.

Browsers: I slowly started with my routine, opening the tabs on browsers (Firefox & Chrome), where I opened my LinkedIn too. Something though small but caught my eye. An update from my Network (Ketki Shah via NAVEEN THUKRAL) , “Everyday maynot be good, but there is something good in every day”. Ohh is it?? Yes, IT DEFINITELY IS!! Clicked my mind. Changed my perspective for the day. I started off with that. Yes, it defintely did good. Though slowly I started feeling good, to wait for that goodness to happen, as of now I knew it is to happen. That's how another person in a different place, in a different context can affect your mood, how God can use anyone to uplift you. (As I had mentioned in ma previous blog - http://dreamzbigenough.blogspot.in/2013/04/failure-is-simply-opportunity-to-begin.html ) How God can guide you though others, as we all are instruments in his hands.

God has given the spirit of goodness to all. It's all about how we find it and utilize it. Anne Frank (Jewish diarist and aspiring writer, who died of typhus in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.) , during her camp days in her diary quoted, “I believe that, in spite of everything, people are really good at heart.” If someone who suffered great hardships like that must say so, then how should our attitude be? Her Dairy was published as Anne Frank-The Diary of a Young Girl. Such a Brave and Lovable lady she was. I dont remember when but during my school days, between some of the Book Festivals I used to attend I bought this book named, “Anne Frank-The Diary of a Young Girl”. I started reading but I in between I didnt find that too interesting and stopped there. Many of ma friends asked to continue, but I never felt for. But today, I feel that its calling me..to continue what I kept pending. Her saying as quoted above made me feel so small. I need to get to know that goodness'.

Yes, there is something good in everyday. Though that touching or calling might be different, still God shows that goodness everywhere, we just need to find it, fix it. The goodness I found today is something much greater than any precious things. It is 'the goodness of the heart'. Anne Frank inspired me today. Her words, that goodness.

Thanks for reading :)
