The quitter in me

The second incident today was a very valuable lesson.
 One of the employees at my workplace sent me a text to say she won't be in tomorrow, in fact she decided she wouldn't be coming back. I was initially disappointed that she just quit with no notice or regard for what that would entail for the other employees and myself...re-doing schedules and working extra hours until I could train someone new.
 But on a moment's reflection I caught myself and realized that if there was a reaction within me then there was something I was denying. There was a quitter in me...at 22 I quit a job with no notice or regard for anyone else. In that moment I was so thankful that I wasn't there right now but could own the quitter in me and I got the gift of integrating another part of myself. When we take the time to look in ourselves and own what causes the reaction we give ourselves an immeasurable gift...at some point in time we're all capable of that which can cause us to react.
And because of that I was able to just wish her the best in whatever she chose to do...she's the one creating her future right now and will have to accept the quitter in herself at some future point in time and for that reason I can genuinely feel compassion for her.
 We each can only act from our own level of awareness and I am so grateful that mine continues to expand every day.The more I watch for the signs and synchronicities on this journey the clearer they become and I move through each situation presented with much more ease and a lot less stress.
And now I get to hire someone who may be a much greater asset to our environment at this point in time.

I'm actually beginning to enjoy watching this mind of mine :)
