"There is wisdom of the head, and a wisdom of the heart"

Charles Dickens

So Thursday was the day I was due to hand in my notice at Tesco.  If you read my previous blog, you will know that I wasn’t able to print out the resignation letter because I ran out of ink!  When that happened I have to admit that I started to think something was telling me not to do it.  I managed to dismiss it, telling myself not to look into things too much.  Now, the whole thing with handing my notice in at Tecso is the fact that the money situation will be a bit tight.  With that in mind, can you imagine what I was thinking when, on Thursday morning my mobile phone stopped working and my power steering malfunctioned.  All I could think was, "what if I didn’t have Tesco?  I would have to cancel all my lessons for that day (which I had to do on Friday) and also pay for these things to be fixed.  To top it all off, the garage said they couldn’t fit me in for a week!!!

So i’m driving to work, still trying to convince myself that none of these things were any kind of ’sign’.  Whilst at work I was able to give it some thought.  The thought of leaving was now feeling very uncomfortable but the thought of staying was even more painful.  So I started asking myself that if I am supposed to stay at Tesco a bit longer, what could be the possible reason?  Why am I being given these signs and feelings?….

Then an answer came to me!

I am planning to move out of Sussex next year.  When I move I will need to set up a base of pupils for my driving business, which will obviously take some time.  Staying at Tesco a little longer will enable me to earn money immediately when I move.  It will also allow me to make the move in February.  When that came to me, I got a total light bulb moment!  "Yes that’s it", it felt so right that I had absolutely no doubt around it.  What I can also do is transfer to a different job within Tesco until Feb so I can be happier while i’m there.

In the end my mobile phone didn’t t cost me anything to get sorted and neither did my car as it’s still under warranty, bonus!  So to get the answer I needed, I had to go through those things and actually go through the process of writing my resignation.  If you trust in the Universe, look for these things and ask the questions of yourself it really can be a beautiful thing.
