My job...
I have decided that my purpose in life is not like most. I have figured out that I am a very unique individual. I have talent (whether I know it or not), a warm and loving personality, and I can act a fool for anyone who wants to try me. I have come to realize that my job is to make sure everyone else around me is satisfied.
I say all that because, I get so much from my new JOB. Now, most people my age are working towards a career, and then have other jobs on the side, such as taking care of the children, working at a library part time, etc. For me, this business that I have chosen is a career, because it's my duty to guarantee these people are satisfied, and therefore it is my job. I treat each and every individual I run into as a family member, friend, church member, etc. Most people in the type of business that I do, see a client, don't explain anything, have people sign up for stuff they don't need and move on, just so they can get a check. That's all gravy, but what are you getting from it besides money...NOTHING!
I look at my resume and I realize that all the experience I have had is a career. Everything that I have been blessed to do is beneficial to me as well as the people involved. Therefore, I know that when LaShay turns thirty, she will tell her children about how Ms. T helped her in her life, when things were hard. This is what passion is about. My career is in the business of assisting others! I am in the business to make sure that the JOB is done. Because that same person that doesn't take the time out to make sure that their client is okay, will not benefit from having a second sister, grandmother or cousin. That same person will never call back to see how things are doing....that same person will be stuck on the side of the road wondering, "How the hell will I get through this?"
Because of all the Ms. Williams' and Thomas', and Mr. Carters', I will always be okay. The time that I have taken out to take care of them, they have done the same by taking care of me. It's going to be rough during these initial stages, but I'm getting there, slowly but surely. I am proceeding with caution...The money, means nothing (unless I'm in a financial bind; lol), but the reward is seeing those same people months and years from now and seeing the joy in their eyes because they have one less thing they need to worry about. They will always know that Ms. T will take care of them.
