If you utilize your experiences wisely, nothing is ever a futile use of time. ~Rodi
During my time in college, I had a clear understanding of what needed to be done, and everything fell into place smoothly.
However, as the day of graduation drew near, anxiety began to creep in.
I had always believed that a rewarding job would come my way after completing my education.
However, at that moment, it became apparent to me that I had absolutely no clue about my destination.
I recently participated in a career workshop where we identified our personal interests and strongest skills.
The class failed to offer any assistance in helping me secure my ideal job.
I was unsure about how to seek assistance in implementing these concepts.
Or perhaps even whom to inquire with.
I struggled.
Over the course of the following three years, I found myself moving between a variety of small-scale employment opportunities.
I used the money I inherited from my father to pay the bills, but the cushion was starting to dwindle.
And I was still clueless about securing a good job.
I recall hearing that individuals were constantly in search of trustworthy house cleaners.
I might not have many abilities,” I pondered, “but at least I can tidy up a home.
I recently launched my own housecleaning business.
This job had several outstanding aspects.
The pay was satisfactory.
I found the part-time schedule to be satisfactory.
I was in charge of myself.
However, I despised the task.
I made a spontaneous decision to pursue a career in professional sales.
I wasn’t interested in it, so it doesn’t matter.
I had a feeling that I would excel in it.
The quest for a job that would make me the reigning sales queen was filled with optimism.
It seemed like a good job opportunity would present itself in the near future.
However, I couldn’t wait any longer.
I despised the task of cleaning houses, as I believed it to be beyond my capabilities.
I found myself in a situation where, despite being an honors graduate from a prestigious university, I was working as a house cleaner.
One evening, I found myself expressing my frustrations to a more experienced and knowledgeable companion.
Jacki,” she exclaimed, “you’re in a perfect position.
You have the ability to accomplish this task as long as you are self-sufficient.
Why not take advantage of this moment to practice meditation?
I was unfamiliar with the concept of meditation, but I found it intriguing.
She clarified that while dusting, I should pay attention to the sensation of the cloth making contact with the wooden surface.
While cleaning the bathtub, I make sure to exert extra pressure to effectively remove the soap scum.
I found this to be quite fascinating.
I was convinced.
The following day, as I cleaned acoustic ceiling tiles, my attention was drawn to the scent of Lysol, the rough texture of the tiles, and the sensation of my gloved hands immersed in the warm water.
As I searched the kitchen sink, I detected the rough texture of Ajax on a sleek surface.
My life was forever altered by that fateful day.
Practicing mindful cleaning has started to facilitate my personal growth.
I no longer feel consumed by anger.
I started to comprehend the concept of releasing and appreciating the marvels of my situation.
Several weeks later, I had the opportunity to interview for a professional sales position on a lovely spring day.
The conversation went smoothly, and it seemed likely that they would extend a job offer to me.
As I strolled towards my vehicle, I realized that I couldn’t bear to keep it.
I had no desire to pursue a career in sales.
My true desire was to assist individuals in their personal growth and help them discover deeper significance in the face of hardships, obstacles, and uncertainties.
I had contemplated this for quite some time, but I believed that I had too many personal problems to be helpful in this manner.
However, I had undergone a significant transformation.
Or, I would like to express that I want to show more of my authentic self.
The era of Zen housecleaning naturally concluded when I embarked on my journey to become a bilingual vocational teacher that autumn.
The experience in the federal prison system paved the way for engaging work, eventually leading to a career as a social worker and a current focus on assisting individuals in securing quality employment opportunities.
Every individual possesses an extraordinary reservoir of internal wisdom.
Although it may appear that our lives are stagnant, there is a reliable process unfolding within us.
How can you engage with this process and allow it to lead you?
Take a moment to pause and notice the sensation of your breath flowing in and out of your body.
Focusing on the present moment can help you stay grounded in reality, as it is more tangible than dwelling on thoughts about the past or the future.
Right now, if you eliminate all distractions, you will be able to hear the sound of your own heartbeat.
Does it advise releasing anger, fear, or sadness?
Releasing unnecessary feelings and attitudes allows you to discover your true desires.
It simply occurs.
There’s no need to put in excessive effort.
Any activity can serve as a form of meditation.
Please focus your attention on the task at hand.
It will guide you to the destination your heart desires.
