Am I reading this experience right?

So I've had a similar experience a little over 15 years ago.

I had worked VERY hard at a company and was up for a new assignment that had a LOT of visibility, a LOT of responsibility and was a major step up for me. However the CEO of the company was making unreasonable demands on me in exchange for being given this assignment. It's a long story but basically he wanted me to commit years of my life to the company in exchange for being assigned this project.

All I felt was bondage. Like I was being tricked into climbing into a cage.

I was THRILLED when I first heard about the opportunity but this commitment simply drained all of that positive energy from me and I simply couldn't accept that offer. I knew this might doom me to failure and could quite possible lead to my immediate termination - I live in an "at will" state and employment can be terminated at any point for any reason or for no reason at all so this was a very real possibility.

Thankfully I was meditating often during this time in my life and felt quite connected to my spirit guides. As this started to unfold, I was lead to go for the job because the commitment part hadn't shown up. When that started to be revealed, I noticed my energy levels changing and dropping. I could tell something was not right but I was too caught up in everything to sort it out at work.....so I asked for time to evaluate the offer. I was given a weekend to decide.

When I got home that Friday night, I meditated. Over the course of the weekend I meditated often, I avoided friends and family and simply stayed in my safe place. I took walks in nature and really tried to connect to my spirit guides for direction. I also ate healthy foods, drank lots of water and slept as much as possible....taking naps often.

During this time I kept hearing or sensing "No, don't accept the deal." when I would meditate and/or bring up the possibility of being fired and all that would entail, over and over again I heard in my mind, "It will be ok.", "you will be ok", "everything will be ok", "don't worry, everything will work out ok", and on and on.

Over the weekend the messages were consistent. Don't take the offer and it will be OK.

I listened and told the CEO I simply couldn't accept the deal as it was structured. I couldn't commit years of my life, in fact, I wasn't willing to commit to any length of time because that seemed ridiculous to me. I made a point to reassure the CEO that I was 100% committed to the company and the project but that I wasn't willing to commit to something like 3 years.

In the end, I got the work without having to commit years of my life and I ended up kicking so much ass on the project that a few years later I was promoted to an officer level position with the company. I ended up becoming the head of the IT department and the top computer person there with the title Chief Technology Officer.

Also I ended up working for another 5 years for the company after this incident and was never again approached for a time commitment. I would have continued working for said company but they ended up selling it and the new company didn't need me as they already had a CTO.

It was a harrowing journey but a fantastic one to watch unfold.

I'm happy to answer questions if you have any but I would end with follow your feelings. Your intuition will not lead you astray.
