Today, Sunday, my mind was clouded with a creative block. I couldn’t decide what to write on the Hive Ghana Prompt. I had to pause, get food, and sleep. As soon as I woke up, I remembered a dream that had happened to me a few years earlier. It was about Life Experiences.

We all have experienced one or two things that may have impacted our lives negatively or positively.
They say life itself is a teacher each day you get to experience different changes in life one of the experiences is when I decided to leave a toxic job when i joined I usually thought I had found the best work ever. It looked more like a dream job to me than a chance to change fate in the eyes and say yes I have finally made a breakthrough but not what I expected after a few months of working I realized the job I thought was my dream job was gradually draining me a lot not just physically but mentally and emotionally.
For a long time I had to stay i I thought I had no choice the fear of leaving and not able to see work in another place or going hungry I do tell myself then at least it's something I'm doing rather than being unemployed that's what I told myself. But inside me knew I was slowly breaking down.
The turning point changed one specific day when I sat down on a specific Sunday looking at myself reflecting on my personal space and wondering what I am really chasing, Am I going to continue doing this toxic work then everything about me turned upside down. Even what impacted me most was when I saw some old workers working there for almost 11 years and no change in them they were not different from someone doing street vendor that's where the turning point started This thought enraged me I had to put a stop make the most rash decision of my life and I did.
That small stop eventually led me to see what my vision and part is and what I am heading to I don't want to spend all my years working for someone and I can't say this is what I have saved at some point I would also become a family man, be a father if am to quit work one day what legacy would I leave for my family those are the changes I need to work on and changes some perspective of life.
Looking back at these it taught me that the thing we fear most can later be our stronghold and save our strongest challenge you leaving a toxic work can create room for a better one. That's just how life is we should learn to face our fear head-on on create a path for our future.
We all had stories like these most might be painful but if we learn to confront them You might be able to make a big impact on yourself.
