W: Hi, Mickey!
M: Hi, Suzanne!
W: Is everything okay? You seem kind of depressed.
M: I got laid off last Friday.
W: Oh…I’m so sorry to hear that.
M: They’ve said that they need to try and save on costs. So they’re reducing a bunch of jobs.
W: I remember when I got fired from my job as a senior manager in a Web design company. I felt awful for weeks. But you know what? Getting fired turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me. It gave me a shock that I really needed. Before that, I was just coasting along in my position day in and day out, never really thinking about my life or my career.
M: So, getting fired helped you reflect on these things?
W: Absolutely! I started asking myself what I really wanted to do.
M: That makes sense. Our daily routines can turn into habits. I’ve been working at this company for almost 8 years and I have kind of been running on autopilot.
W: After I was fired, it took me about a year to figure out that opportunities weren’t going to come my way, and I have to create my own opportunities. I always had an interest in gardening, so I thought to myself; there must be a lot of people who would like to have a garden but don’t have the time to set one up.
M: So now you go around making custom-designed gardens for homes and offices, right?
W: Yes! I spent almost one year doing odd jobs and trying to figure out what I wanted to do. It was difficult to live without a stable income at that time.
M: Yeah, right now I have some savings, so I’ll be good for about six months. But if I can’t find something to do after that, it’s going to start getting tough.
W: Do you have a dream?
M: Well, I have always had the idea of opening a bicycle store.
W: Interesting! It just might work!
M: I never thought I would have a chance to open a bike store. But now I’ll think about it! Thanks, Suzanne!
