Just Be

Sometimes I feel like I have to save the secret me from many of the people I know… especially relatives. I find some of my relatives to be too pessimistic, and as I am a usually sunny person, I find myself glooming out for their benefit. Well, nuts to that. I’ll smile if I want to, because if I don’t nobody will! I can see the glass as half full, because to me it is. I kind of came out to some of my family yesterday, and it was really freeing to me, although I am not sure of their reaction. It seems so much simplier to just be myself.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we were judged (or judged ourselves) by the content of our character and not by what we are currently doing (or any other outward criteria).

Inner calm should be praised.

Time should be set aside for the inner journey.

The quiet breather must find support, if not from our peers, than from ourselves.

Sorry for the “should”. But take a 5 minute break today to visit your inner self and just be.

Be

I have been job hunting and I keep getting asked this question. I think it is cliche’. Perhaps a good question to ask someone in middle management, but I am an administrative assistant. Where do I see myself in 5 years? Hope I see myself being myself. I want to BE. Of course there is no good answer… well good and also true… and also you get the job kind of good. Oh well. I am just honest and tell them, I don’t see any major changes in my life in 5 years… hopefully I will be celebrating my 5th year working here.
