This was my laptop wallpaper for almost a month. I don't know about you but I want to be constantly reminded that "I can". So when I found this on Pinterest, I didn't have second thoughts and changed the laptop wallpaper I had for more than a year to this one.
I seriously have very high self esteem. I've always thought that since I managed to be a scholar in college and to be a manager as soon as I graduated, I have something in me that beats something out there.
But this arrogance has brought me heartache recently.
I was put into a particular situation before and I thought during that time that I was not ready yet and expectedly, I did not bag the part. Thinking that this time, I was up for it and I was really ready, I kinda made myself believe that this was a no-brainer. I'd DEFINITELY get it.
But life has a way of humbling you to the point of heartbreak. Long story short, I did not get the promotion. What a heartbreak! Thinking that you got it, when you really don't.
After grieving for a weekend, I thought of all the times I felt that I "failed" but these "failures" ultimately brought me to the best successes of my life. I thought of all the times Jesus has saved me by means of breaking my heart. Jesus is the ultimate perfecter. I know that this heartache is just a detour to redirect me to another great success.
In light of Maundy Thursday, I write this to remind my future self that humility is always the best option and that all things - good or bad - are part of God's plan.
Have a holy week, everyone!
P.S. New wallpaper is this.
