The title, those three letter word

Disappointments, Frustrations, these strike almost all people including me Three years ago when I received the title, I was so positive to what will happened to my career. But that was three years ago and now is a different story. Now I'm no longer positive, in fact to be honest I'm disappointed and frustrated. The title, those three letter word, I felt getting that is useless. Three years ago I felt that when I got those three letter word extended to my name I'll be okay, I think I'll be able get a good and enjoyable job but I don't. While others have struggle about their love life, mine is a different scenario. My struggle is all about my career. I felt that nothing had happened to my career since I got those three letter word extended to my name three years ago. I transfer from one job to another three times. I felt that I'm not significant enough for the company even though I tried my best. Three times, yes even in my present job I felt that I'm not being given the chance to prove myself that I can take what it takes to be good at my job. Frustrations, frustrations, frustrations! Frustrated to my employer who don't appreciate my work and who never see my worth. Years ago back when I was a student and reviewing, I really study hard, I do my assignment on time, I even spend sleepless night just to study. I tried my best to graduate with an average grades, I tried my best to pass and get those three letter word extended to my name. But now I felt that all my hardships during those time are worthless. Yes I graduated with an average grades, and got those three letter word extended to my name but what did I get in return, I didn't get a job that would give me a chance for professional growth. Perhaps, if those three letter words were not extended to my name I think I would feel okay to what's happening in my career but I have those three letter word so I expected more from my career. So, here I'am disappointed and frustrated with my life. But hey! there's more to life than that... With or without those three letter word extended to my name I'am who I'am, a person love by God. Why should I get frustrated and disappointed when there's a lot of blessings and good things happening all around me??? I just need to opened my eyes, look around and thank God for it.  One thing, when I graduated with an average grades I know it's God who had help me and then the gift I received from God three years ago, those three letter word extended to my name, I know it was God who had help me in reviewing and who had help me pass the exam, there are no words good enough to thank Him for that. And my job, I thank God for it even though I don't get the growth that I desires, at least I got a job while thousands of other don't. And there's my family and people around me who cares for me (though I know there's only a few) and then my most precious gift from God, my salvation. Sorry Father God for being like the Israelites who keeps on grumbling and complaining instead of being grateful. STOP COMPLAINING! STOP BEING DISAPPOINTED! STOP BEING FRUSTRATED! START BEING GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE BLESSINGS GOD IS SHOWERING UPON US
