Recently I was given one job opportunity. It was a private helper for an elderly woman. The job was to help her for cleaning the house, laundry, and errands. It was only for two hours, once a week.
It was my wish came true. Although I never mentioned about my wish to anybody, even to my husband, I simply had thought about it in my mind.
In these several years, some of my friends got this type of part time job. Every time I heard from them about their part time job, I envied them. I thought it would be easy job.
Another friends of mine mentioned about their hotel maid job. I was amazed when I visited their house. They told me they learned how to clean, especially cleaning around water area such as bathroom and kitchen, from their maid job. Their house was cleaned thoroughly, just like a luxurious hotel room. I secretly wished for this type of part time job opportunity to improve my cleaning technique.
Therefore, when the helper’s job opportunity came up to me, I gladly accepted it.
However, things did not go well. It didn’t take me long to notice that my employer (the elderly woman) had a negative thinking habit. She started freely speaking about any kinds of complaints. The complaints were not about me or my cleaning, but about something in her daily life or her surrounding people (her friends and family). Sometimes she complained even about her past events that happened to her many, many years ago; 40-50 years ago. Perhaps she never handled all her negative feelings at that time, and that is why she still holds on to the negative feelings for all these years up until now.
I noticed every time when I came back from her house, I felt energetically drained. I felt angry or sad. I knew these feelings were not mine. I sucked up her negative feelings.
She often called me too. I didn’t like it because it derived my alone time or the precious time with my family. The conversation with her on the phone always drained me.
When I started thinking about the best excuse to quit this job, one thing opened up for me. During my daughter’s spring vacation, she didn’t allow me to take my daughter to her house. I thought I could use this as the best reason for me to quit this job. My daughter will have another spring vacation in next month, and starting the following next month, the long summer vacation (almost three months duration) will come up. I thought it is a sign that I should quit from this job, so I did.
I mentioned to her that I would not be able to keep coming to her house regularly due to the upcoming school off days. After I talked to her about my resignation of this job, I got so much relieved.
I know there are some people who can handle that kind of things very well, instead of sucking up the negative energy and suffering from it like I do. I hope she will have a new helper who loves cleaning and can handle listening to negative people’s talking.
From this experience, I learned one thing. I should pay attention what I ask for, even just a thought in my mind.
Even though you don’t pray or say out loud to someone, when you think about something, when you wish for something, it can be activated in the real world. In recent environment where vibration is getting higher than before, even a tiny thought can be activated easier and quicker than we expect. So, let’s pay attention to what you think. I think the best way is that to think only what you truly want to have it.
