Behind the mask?
One of my clients today was saying what a good summer she's had, cycling in France, rafting down rivers and walking. She's always so happy, positive, accepting and enthusiastic one wonders what she's 'on'. The answer to that is that she's on 'life'. It doesn't matter, as she says, whether she is out doing 'exciting' things, visiting a museum, or cleaning her house, doing ironing or tasks that we could label as 'chores', she is having a good time.
She takes pleasure in doing a good job and has contentment in the 'moment' whatever is her occupation. Her pleasure is in her mind and not in her task. She makes her choice how she perceives her employment, and always chooses to be.......happy and content.
True, walking, cycling through France and rafting sound far more fun than chores, and of course, variety is 'the spice of life'. But what is always wonderful to see, when she walks in through my door, is her happy smile, her forgiving nature of the train delays that made her late, her lack of money, her ailing dog, the acceptance of what she can't change and her positive outlook to what she can.
Without knowing her, one may think that she may be suppressing emotion, blocking what's 'real'. But I can assure you, from what I know of her over the last few years, her spirit is true. If you asked what's behind this mask of forgiveness, contentment and happiness? I think you'll find a truly forgiving, content and happy person. I learn a lot from her.
