Inner Peace

I would like to leave a lasting and positive impression for those that I have known. At times, I feel overlooked by individuals that are financially better off than I am. Their money and influence, unfortunately brings out the worst in some people. Which often leaves me wondering, “What happen to your compassion?”

Throughout my early adult years, I struggled to find out what happens to a person’s mind as they begin to move up the corporate ladder. Whenever I had a disagreement concerning my working environment, my supervisors were the most uncompassionate individuals I ever encountered. I often left the office overwhelmed with emotions and cried from their unsympathic demented behavior. I frequently discussed my difficulties at work with my mother. Her wisdom helped me to increase my inner strength and overcome my emotional setbacks and psychological weakness. No one has ever given me the emotional support that I needed, except my mother.

She was super sensitive and recognized that I inherited this trait from her. I will never forget a conversation that we had about people and working relationships. She encouraged me to stand up for what I think is right and do what is right for me. I listened carefully to her words of encouragement and she helped me to learn how to increase my mental stamina by role playing and imitating my supervisors. A few times, she caught me off guard and her behavior was unrelenting. My mother really enjoyed watching me work through my emotions and she really toughen me up.

Thinking about her, sometimes makes me feel sad, but at the same time, I would never trade her for another. She will always be in my heart and soul forever. She was a fighter and instilled in me to strive for the best and whatever I cannot achieve, do not dwell on it and learn to seek happiness in what I can do effectively. I am learning to express myself by writing and this is my legacy. Thinking positively has helped me to be more upbeat and to use humor to cope with my everyday stress.

There are many benefits from positive emotions and scientists are searching for reasons why positive emotions leads to longevity. Most likely, because positive people tend to promote their own health by eating well and exercising. Do-gooders appear to be healthier for doing good deeds and laughter boosts immunity.

I am normally very healthy, but last winter, I could not get rid of a reoccurring cough and flu-like symptoms. My body felt weak and my inner strength began to diminish. I kept asking myself, “What is wrong with me?” At the time, I did not realize that my emotional stress from work and living environment was the cause of my illness.

I made some changes in my lifestyle and I feel much better now. My mind is accelerating and I am able to process information more clearly. I don’t know what is happening to me, but I cannot help but laugh at a former employer that teasingly told me to stop being so attentive.
