Aloha Tiare FIT 'Ohana,
I recently found a letter I received from a mentor of mine written back in 2001. I was 5 months into a very stressful job I had literally signed up for, and I was ready to quit my job & 2 year commitment to the State and pay back the $27,000 (via a personal loan) that was invested into me for Graduate school. In the letter he basically stated that the money owed was NOT worth me being unhappy, and that if this field I had chosen to get into (social work) was not the right fit for me, then spend it on a loan with little interest to get my happiness back instead of spending it in misery....BUT he also wrote, if I were to "think positive", and realize that I have options waiting once my 2 years were up, then maybe the "job" wouldn't seem as much of a life sentence as I was making it out to be. That letter was a true blessing. I decided to "think positive" and make the most of the situation...at least I had a job, right out of college, that paid me a decent salary with the humble degree I had worked so hard to get. The 2 years DID go by (slower than I wanted, but luckily time didn't stop regardless) and instead of paying a loan back, my hubby and I were able to purchase our very 1st home at the end of 2002. I did quit that job in 2003 (exactly 2 years to the day I started) but it has been a HUGE stepping stone for me...why I bring this up today you ask?...it's because every day we are faced with situations that may not be the most pleasing, what we have in front of us may not be want we truly want in life...but if we change the way we look at things, the way we look at situations and "think positive" as my mentor, Mr. Heyd, once said....our perspective, our view, could suddenly change like the colors of the sunset does over a span of a few minutes. We have control over our own happiness, family! Ke Akua has blessed you with that ability...so trust in HIM!
Now let's turn our Wednesday werkout tomorrow into another POSITIVE hour that we add/credit to our "bank". Get ready to shake what Ke Akua has blessed you with at Manoa Dance Studio at 6:45 pm! And remember that our Tiare FITAnniversary means it's $20 Dance Cards and sales on all our Tiare FIT shirts for the entire month of July! Have a blessed evening, family...and THINK POSITIVE! Mahalo for your help, Mr. Heyd!
