Better to Accept?

My impending layoff from the Bank has been a brutal shock. I've been using this blog to examine the human side - the all-too-natural anger, betrayal and sorrow - that is a byproduct of modern corporate economics. I'll of course continue to examine this human side going forward; but from a personal standpoint, there are other considerations I haven't touched on.

I'm not the most spiritual person in the world, but maybe, for whatever reason, I was not meant to spend the rest of my working life at the Bank. Losing one's job is certainly an effective, if crude, means for forcing one to move on. And moving on is maybe the whole point: it's time to do something else, time to help somewhere else.

What if I simply accept what's happened? A radical idea, that. But accepting - not fighting, not railing against fate - could be a lot healthier. Maybe I should spend less time worrying; instead, trust that, for me, it's for the best. For reasons that are ineffable my path lies elsewhere; my job is to figure out which fork to take. Standing still on the trail - getting upset about the fate that has placed the fork before me -is not going to get me anywhere.
