Fruits of My Labour

There are a lot of things that change in an individuals personality with age,
through experience and through life altering experiences.But there are just
some things that will not change until you are aware of yourself , not only
through your eyes, but through the eyes of others. I have been working on many
aspects of my disposition, which I had hoped would make me a better person, both
at work and in my everyday personal life.

I work in a field where typically there is not a lot of positive heart delivered feedback that goes through the sound waves. Last week was a week of exceptions....! I received compliments
on my composure through stressful events which occurred while on the job and
how I reacted so calmly and with confidence. I have worked to become the
person I have become and not the one that I was destined to be. So, to
receive positive feedback on certain things that I have worked quite
diligently on changing, is so rewarding.

The same thing is seen in the kwoon, it can be crushing to an individual who has worked so hard to improve from class to class and get no positive feedback. On the other hand, when you
receive the positive feedback that you deserve, the results can be truly
amazing. It’s not a feeling of...okay, I reached my goal, it’s a feeling of
.....yes....but I can and will do better!

The sense of accomplishment
that I felt through the compliments this last week were heart felt, and so
needed. I have worked very hard to at the same time be me, be confident, be
honest, true and act with confidence.This week was once again a reminder of
what some heart felt compliments can do to a persons day...week or
life!
