Around twenty years ago I was living in York.
I had a lot of experience and a Master’s degree, I could not find
work.
I was
a school bus to make ends meet and
with a friend of mine, for I had lost my flat. I had
five interviews with a company and one day between bus runs they called to say I did not
the job. “Why has my life become so
?” I thought painfully.
As I pulled the bus over to
a little girl, she handed me an earring
I should keep it
somebody claimed it. The earring was painted black and said “BE HAPPY”.
At first I got angry. Then it
me – I had been giving all of my
to what was going wrong with my
rather than what was right! I decided then and there to make a
of fifty things I was happy with. Later, I decided to
more things to the list. That night there was a phone call for
from a lady who was a director at a large
. She asked me if I would
a one –day lecture on stress management to 200 medical workers. I said yes.
My
there went very well, and before long I got a well-paid job. To this day I know it was because I changed my way of
that I completely changed my life.
