I arrived at my office at 10am today, armed with a Starbucks latte, a bottle of Fiji water, and my laptop. I am greeted by a sweet vanilla scent starting from a clearing plug. I look out the window and see huge buildings, hundreds of tiny cars speeding in all directions, and I see people speeding down the busy sidewalks of New York. Above all there is a clear and sunny sky which brightened my mood just by looking at it. . I sip my cappuccino thinking about today's appointments. I think about the patients I will see today and the procedures that will be used to help them overcome their conflicts. I start to hope and imagine if I were to help any of them make a breakthrough today and how happy I would be to feel the sense of accomplishment knowing that I helped someone completely overcome a problem. Suddenly I was determined to take my career to a new level of fulfillment. I notice that I've been finishing my cappuccino and sipping air for the last five minutes. I laugh at myself and throw the empty cup in the trash. Then I fall back into my thoughts and think deeply about how to help one of my patients who has experienced a difficult tragedy in his life and can't stop dwelling on that incident. They have been my patients for quite some time, and no matter what advice and treatment I give them, they seem to get stuck feeling sorry for themselves. Her name is Ava, and the main conflict keeping her from making a breakthrough is that she doesn't understand why such a horrible situation has occurred in her life. She can't correlate a reason why this event would happen to her, of all people. I spent my day and dealt with... in the middle of paper... archives and patient files waiting to be treated, the confidence I have in myself when I give advice to someone, the way I worked is so difficult to be able say I love my job. I am elated at how eager I am to come here every morning and I never want the day to end so I can stay a little longer because helping people brings joy to my heart. It makes me feel valuable and that I actually have a constructive reason for being here. I left work with a smile on my face because I know that someone is starting to look at life from a completely new perspective that will lead them to live a much more positive and productive lifestyle, and to me, that's believable. I like knowing that I have the ability to put people at ease while still having some control over the situation. Most people can only dream of what I have, so I'm grateful for every moment I have of it.
