Since last 2 years, I was aspiring for growth in position and I am not able to make it this year as well. Temporarily, I was impacted by the feeling of despair, all others with similar capabilities growing up and me going towards dead end. My immediate responses to this feeling were:
1) I spoke to my wife and my mentor: They gave me enough support to revert to normalcy. They suggested on spending time on solution options rather than on the problem.
2) Got kind advice from my friends: They inquired on what is life with promotion and life without promotion, what is my mission in life, what keeps me motivated. I informed that as long as I help customers resolving challenges and proceed towards improvements in delivery, I will be satisfied at work. As an individual, I informed that I give the highest importance to happiness of myself and family.
3) Spent time in devotion (bhakti) to take fullest control on myself. ISKCON temple visits helped me.
Analysis that went in answering questions brought a feeling that I did not lose anything that is worth worrying. Within 4 days, I regained myself.
Realized that promotion is important and at the same time, also felt that it is not life and death issue.
Here is my action plan that I executed:
1) Focus more on learning, enhancing skills. Allocate time for reading and excel is doing things in a great way. Get mastery.
2) Spend time on devotion or any activity that brings happiness to your spirit. In my case, it is praying God, temple visits, reading Gita. Trusting God to the fullest is yielding results. Living value based life is the outcome.
When I look back now, I have got more knowledge and happiness than what would have come from promotion. I believe that every thing happens for a reason...
I am myself now...happier...cheerful.
