I don’t do absolutes, or extremes. I am a balance ☯️ person. Here is a current, real life example….it is not healthy for us to sit and be unproductive and collect assistance your whole life. No matter your political views, this can lead to being physically unhealthy and low self-esteem, mental health issues, etc. We are put on earth 🌎 to find our purpose and give our life meaning. (Even if it’s volunteer work). HOWEVER, I do not believe we are meant to work ourselves to death 60,70+ hours a week indefinitely. We need family time, friends, hobbies, a spiritual life, etc, as well. Balance 😁☯️!!!
Today, I explained my intent to give 2 weeks notice to the postmaster and he was nice, as always, but I got the “in my day” speech. Talked of how he can retire at 57 and that he and his wife raised their kids working 6 days/week, 12/hours a day. I thought, poor kids. And I was feeling a little guilt, even questioning my decision. That’s what us HSPs tend to do 😐. Just last night I had been feeling such gratitude at being offered a housekeeping position at a local hotel, at a significant pay cut. However! The supervisor agreed to the schedule I asked for! It will give me time to take classes, work from home, and take better care of my family. ♥️
Another carrier’s last day is Friday and I asked what job he was leaving for, thinking it was probably something amazing, maybe management, or huge pay raise, etc. The postmaster said it was to be a janitor at the local veterinary clinic, and in that moment I knew no one had the right to dictate my gratitude, decisions, or my happiness, but ME! YOU decide what your amazing is…don’t compare. I needed that reminder. I was grateful to that carrier in that moment. In a weird way, it was like he confirmed I was making the right decision. And he will never know that, but that’s ok. That’s life for those of us that choose to see life from a place of spirituality and gratitude… 🕉. We know there are no coincidences and that there are signs everywhere. You just have to be open to them. ☯️
