Why does something significant have to happen in order for us to realize what's in front of us? I've been un-employed for one week exactly and in the last week I've had the most eye opening experience - learning so much more about myself in the last 7 days than I've learned in the past 33 years. It's so cliche, but the saying is true - things happen for a reason and getting laid off...well there's a reason to it (even though it may not be totally apparent right now).
