Accountability

Accountability 

Good morning fellow bloggers,

I was inspired to write this by some of my current situations. It has taken me almost 44  years of living & going through experiences to come to this conclusion. But, I have come to accept that all situations that occur in life are meant to teach us lessons. I use to believe that situations happened randomly, I now know, that everything & everybody who comes into your life has a purpose. And it is entirely up to you as to what you take away or what you learn from people & situations. I have been through allot & have met allot of people in my life & wether they bring something negative or positive to my life it's up to me to decide how I react.  As a nurse I meet all kinds of people from different walks of life, & am privileged to protect & heal those who are unable to do it for themselves. I am blessed to be able to affect others in this manner, some are very appreciative & others are very ungrateful. No matter what, I had an opportunity to positively impact their lives.

Having the ability to be a part of the healing process & witnessing how precious life is, has given me a very unique & different perspective on life. I know how precious it is & how we shouldn't allow negative energy manipulate us. I have learned how to appreciate everything in life, no matter what it is! I've also learned how to not judge people on face value. Everybody has their own story & everybody reacts to same situations differently. I choose to be a positive energy to all. I always treat people with respect, love & positivity. It doesn't always work, but, it does impact people. I am always humbled when people admire me for who I am. 

Over thinker

Sitting in the laundromat, waiting for my rugs to dry,  & over analyzing my personal situations. Had a conversation with one of my male colleagues that inspired this blog entry. During some downtime @ 3 am, while doing unit rounds, I sit to converse with him & he asks: why do you think you are still single? I hesitate then respond by saying: it's multifactorial. It's not that I'm complicated, I'm quite simple & know what I want & what I won't settle for! And then I ask him why the personal interest? His response: I've known you for 2 years as a supervisor/manager & I've observed how selfless you are.  Me: ok, and your point is? Him: you're intelligent, your caring, compassionate, & very giving. Me: okay, where are you going with this?!?! Him: you just seem well put together & I'm just trying to figure out why you're not taken. Me: um ok, but you know I don't date within my place of employment. Him: oh no, I'm in a relationship, I just admire your personality. Me: ok (with a baffled look on my face), so why the interest in my personal life? Him: it's just rare to see souls like yours & I was just curious to see what attracts you to another person. Me: it's simple, but complicated @ the same time. I have a very unique story, I came from immigrant parents whom taught me how to work hard & appreciate those who value me. I have been through allot physically, emotionally, financially & spiritually. I've lost allot of important people in my life & have learned how to appreciate people who are genuine with me. As for what I look for in a mate!. I guess somebody who understands me & who not only appreciates me, he has to value what I have to offer, & that is allot! Him: I see that! Me: I'm not high maintenance, but I do like to spoil myself! I deserve it! I give everything 120% and expect the same in return! I've learned that you can't half step anything & claim to be genuine! Him: and this is the reason I admire & respect you! Me: wow! I'm humbled

Moral of my story:

As a human being our actions & sayings affect others, some more profoundly than others. Always treat others with respect & love. Life is too short to do & think otherwise!
