Day 1 - Project

Hi, today's generally a note to self, something insightful but not necessarily applicable to you all..

I am grateful, so grateful, eternally grateful, for the fact that I am able to effect a positive change in the lives of people around me. Some need me more than others, Some are more influenced than the rest.

Anyway, I have the privilege to try and mold the life of a particular girl I treasure. She faces a lot of conflicts, tough times, and challenges at her young age, and I am so glad that she opened up to me about her problems. It is good practice, too, when I realize that I am becoming a better mediator. I believe that she is a trial, or a 'project', for me to try whatever wisdom and inspirations I am being blessed with.

Moving on, I am so glad that she is progressing really well. She is starting to show more gratitude and positive thinking. More importantly, she is showing more kindness and forgiveness towards herself. As I notice that she is adopting a more optimistic outlook of her life, I become very relieved from the bottom of my heart. I thought: "oh hey, at least she's going to do alright. Thank goodness."

I feel that it is not coincidental for me to experience some tough times. For today I was able to relate to her problems; you can't really be a teacher if you have not worked through the problems first. The fact that she told me that she couldn't really find my character flaws is also funny. I am certain that I have my own character flaws, like the 2 bad bricks among 998 good bricks. However, I have difficulty seeing them as I learned how to forgive myself :) It is fine for me to have flaws, after all, at least I have something to work upon.

Now, I really have to be careful to not get too attached :) As someone who tries to be her strength, I should place zero expectations and attach no feelings or emotions but happiness towards her. Everything's going to be alright, and yeah thank you for the success of the project! I am much delighted. :)
