Around twenty years ago I was living in Seattle and going through hard times. I could not find
36 work and I found this especially difficult as I had a lot of experience and a Master’s degree.
To my
37 I was driving a school bus to
38 my family. I had been through five
39 with a company and one day they
40 to say I did not get the job. I went to the bus barn, feeling
41 .
Later that afternoon,
42 doing my rounds through a quiet suburban neighborhood I had an inner wave
43 from deep inside me and I thought “Why has my
44 become so hard?” “Give me a sign, I asked, a physical sign, not some inner
45 type of thing.”
Immediately after this internal(內(nèi)心的) scream I
46 the bus over to drop off a little girl and as she
47 she handed me an earring saying I should keep it
48 somebody looked for it. The
49 was stamped metal, painted black and said “BE HAPPY”. Then it struck me. I had been putting all of my
50 into what was wrong with my life
51 than what was right!
One night there was a phone call for me from the
52 at a large hospital. She asked me whether I
53 do a report for 200 hospital workers. I said
54 and got the job.
My day with the hospital workers
55 very well. I got a great welcome and many more days of work. To this day I KNOW that it was because I changed my attitude to gratitude.
