Thank You, Stranger

People come into our lives for a reason. Often, we don’t realize why someone gets a job at our workplace. Like a gentleman who started working at my workplace. He seemed humble and unassuming in his disposition. His humble and cool demeanor belied his depth. His grace and respect for others made him appear gentle, almost soft. Yet in his own humility and self-effacing mannerisms, he commanded such immense respect. Yet, on the other hand, he was as stern as anyone could be. He was very knowledgeable in his profession. He was highly skilled yet he did not brag about it. He was humble, loving, and compassionate. He treated all with respect.

I respected him for who and what he was. He was a model therapist who epitomized professionalism of high standards. He genuinely cared about my welfare and extended the same to those around him. What a Godsend! It seems he came there as an unknowing channel for Divine Spirit to teach me something I needed to learn about professionalism in the early years of my career.

Sometimes Divine Spirit may use someone such as a coworker, a friend, a family member, a stranger, your boss at work, to teach us something we need in our life, often in an area of our weakness on which we need working. So look around you, maybe your co-workers, what are people around you teaching you about yourself?

For that, I eternally thank you, Stranger, wherever you are, whatever noble work you are doing, for, from you, I learned valuable life lessons about professionalism.
