Sooo…..
Having overcome several times of people telling the world I have stopped teaching, I’m still here and still helping them achieve their goals and dreams. I LOVE my job and until my body gives up I am sure I will continue to do so, lol.
To me, life isn’t about having a huge house, fantastic holidays or expensive cars or bikes. It’s about being happy from within. My job helps ENORMOUSLY with that. The happiness I feel inside when someone completes their CBT course, conquers their fear of bikes or passes all the tests to gain that full licence and everything in-between is HUUUGE!!!
I’ve made many friends from people that I have helped over the last 35 years and for that I am thankful. The recommendations I get is sometimes overwhelming because I am just doing what I am supposed to do to the best of my ability. Yes, sometimes things get scary and some people, as much as I try to help, give up on themselves which is a HUGE shame. I have had a few come back last year and the feeling of getting them there is immeasurable. SOOOOO glad they didn’t give up.
So when you wake up every day, remember somewhere along the line you are helping someone, whether that is checking in on them, doing your job to the best of your ability or simply doing a small job to help a neighbour or friend, it was worth it.
Happy New Year to you all. Stay shiny side up.
