FAILING IN OUR CAREER – IS IT OVER?

Excerpt from "TRAPPED" by Pertunia Lehoka - Coming Soon!

FAILING IN OUR CAREER – IS IT OVER?

This is a collection of short stories of those who are trapped in different situations, be it their careers, personal lives or even mindset etc. The title of the excerpt is captioned above and this is how it is detailed in the book as an outlook to stories dealing with people’s careers and what they encounter daily or occasionally in their line of work.
Below are some noteworthy topics I have dealt with in this book, in a dramatic format to bring home, an understanding of how a trapped person generally feels when experiencing this sometimes debilitating emotion.

The idea is to get a reader to identify with characters, change the status quo, remember where they come from, why and how they got involved with such a person or why they chose careers they did and what happened in the process of them trying to simply be their authentic self.

Are we to blame for undesirable situations we sometimes find ourselves in? If so, why is it so difficult to make the important decision to leave it all and start afresh?


Trapped in toxic relationships and toxic marriages;
Trapped in toxic friendships and can't end these friendships because of perceived perks brought about by these discomfitted friendships;
Trapped in unfulfilling careers;
Trapped in fulfilling careers but toxic environments;
Those disrespected at work simply because of their gender but they can't leave because they have gotten used to the perks.
Trapped within one's debilitating thoughts; Mindset entrapment
Trapped by life's never ending woes and changes happening thereto;
And many more!

Excerpt:

Making all of your career dreams come true is something that you must work hard at no matter what – this should not hinge on anyone else’s dream about you doing a particular job. You are solely responsible for every decision you make. Let us remember that every decision we make today, can and will always determine how the rest of our lives would be like or turn out.

Therefore, we need to make wise decisions about our lives and seek not to dwell in others’ shadow and also refuse to be under anyone’s shadow because, we do not know what lies ahead. Life is very unpredictable and very short. Ideally, no one should ever leave a mess behind for others to clean.

What I’m doing today career-wise, personally as well as spiritually, came as a result of a decision or decisions I made years ago. I might have made some of these decisions without thinking clearly but jumped head on first. I however still believe that some coincidences are engineered by powers beyond human comprehension. I also strongly believe that, in the world we live in, everyone’s life path has been set out for them, even though we might believe otherwise most of the time.

This includes even the undesirable situations we might occasionally find ourselves being confronted with. Any hindrance to our chosen fields might be the exact challenge we have to go through after sending messages to the universe, without even realising that we might have been doing so.
