3 Pivot Lessons from St Patrick

by | Mar 17, 2021 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

When most of us think about St. Patrick’s day we probably think about parties, green beer, and shamrocks. We probably don’t think about St. Patrick himself. Saint Patrick’s Day is celebrated on March 17th as both a religious and cultural holiday. It marks the anniversary of the death of St. Patrick who was a 5th-century Christian missionary and bishop in Ireland.

 

 

When he was a teenager, he was captured by Irish pirates from his home in Britain, and taken as a slave to Ireland. He lived there for six years before escaping and returning to his family. After becoming a cleric, he returned to northern and western Ireland with a mission of converting the Irish to Christianity, which was very successful. By the seventh century, he had already come to be revered as the patron saint of Ireland.

 

 

Although scholars say there are few confirmed details of his life, what we do know provides some valuable pivot lessons.

 

 

Pivot Lesson  1: Make the best of a bad assignment-learn what you can from it

 

 

“As a boy of fourteen or so, he was captured during a raiding party and taken to Ireland as a slave to herd and tend sheep. Ireland at this time was a land of Druids and pagans. He learned the language and practices of the people who held him”*

 

 

Pivot Lesson 2: When you get a clear sign that it is time to move on be decisive and take advantage of the opportunity to leave

 

 

“Patrick’s captivity lasted until he was twenty, when he escaped after having a dream from God in which he was told to leave Ireland by going to the coast. There he found some sailors who took him back to Britain, where he reunited with his family.”*

 

 

Pivot Lesson 3: The next step in your career may need a return to school/additional studies

 

 

“He had another dream in which the people of Ireland were calling out to him “We beg you, holy youth, to come and walk among us once more.” He began his studies for the priesthood. He was ordained by the Bishop of Auxerre, whom he had studied under for years. Later, Patrick was ordained a bishop, and was sent to take the Gospel to Ireland”*

 

 

*The accounts of St. Patrick’s Life are taken from “St. Patrick: Man, Myth & Holiday” at catholic.org
