Who we are makes ourselves proud!

Today is like any other day, I woke up and wash my face and go on with my day. Today is Monday, the start of the week and I rush out of the house before the clock turns 8am and as the tik-toking gets closer and closer and as I am rushing and rushing, the little slip lays on the ground at the front door caught my attention. It was an invitation from the post office to come and collect a parcel in the afternoon at 4 o’clock. I am not expecting anything or has ordered anything from the internet. So I tuck and squeezed the half-sized slip into mail mesh holder and start my Monday. From my house to my workplace takes me through many different adventures. I drive through the CBD that has colourful and fruitful streets energetically supports LGBT community. Coincidentally, my car also due to service and today I drop off my car at the service station and walk to work; takes roughly 10mins. Through the walk I can see a beautiful stroke through the sky like a quiet, wavy ocean that has a little magic touch of the consistent wind. On the side of the street there goes a little monkey that comes to live thanks to street artists and the graffiti that says "protect our planet, protect ourselves". I arrive at my work and there goes on my table is a little gift from my manager, we were and still are good friends and today is her fifth year being a manager here at our work and so thought give me a little gift. I open it and it is a little back notebook and the first page writes ‘thought I was a mess but you showed me otherwise, thank you. Love you xoxo’. What I do is not important but what most important is my impact and what I can achieve, not just what I have but with what I want. In the afternoon, lingering with what happened and just unlock the door and enter home, I immediately take the post office slip and collect the parcel with no further delay. I’ve tried to figure who its from but seems like everyone I talk to denies and after arriving home, I open the parcel and a whooping cheque with $20 000.00 AUD right in front of my eyes. At that moment my eyes are too wide to even blink and my my brain is quick to catch on and give myself the immediate thought 'my financial hardship could vanish and life would lessen in weight'. For a good three seconds, I am enjoying the luxury of debt-free but the reality quickly catches on and hit me on the face. The I slowly remember that no-one admitted that they sent me the parcel and how could I be so lousy to accept something from any person that I don't even know. So I decide to contribute the cheque to the homeless foundation and for all I know, the little black notebook was the best present up until today. My day, my life and all my wishes all contained in the little notebook, it knows everything about me and ever since I am proud of who I am and what I did. Sometimes it is not about you but it about how you response and just like that, debt-free cannot bring me true happiness and I am proud of who I am.
