Answer 1

I could not find satisfying work and I found this especially difficult as I had 

a lot of experience and a Masters degree. 

 

To my shame I was driving a school bus to make ends meet and living with 

friends. I had lost my apartment. I had been through five interviews with a 

company and one day between bus runs they called to say I did not get the job. I 

went to the bus barn like a zombie of disappointment. 

 

Later that afternoon, while doing my rounds through a quiet suburban 

neighborhood I had an inner wave like a primal scream arise from deep inside me 

and I thought“Why has my life become so hard?” “Give me a sign, I asked...a 

physical sign枭ot some inner voice type of thing.” 

 

Immediately after this internal scream I pulled the bus over to drop off a  going through hard times. 

 

little girl and as she passed she handed me an earring saying I should keep it 

in case somebody claimed it. The earring was stamped metal, painted black and 

said“BE HAPPY”. 

 

At first I got angry ,yeah, yeah, I thought. Then it hit me. I had been putting 

all of my energies into what was wrong with my life rather than what was right! 

I decided then and there to make a list of 50 things I was grateful for. 

 

At first it was hard, then it got easier. One day I decided to up it to 75. 

That night there was a phone call for me at my friend’s house from a lady who 

was a manager at a large hospital. About a year earlier I had submitted a 

syllabus to a community college to teach a course on stress management. (Yup, 

you heard me. She asked me if I would do a one-day seminar for 200 hospital 

workers. I said yes and got the job. 

 

My day with the hospital workers went very well. I got a standing ovation and 

many more days of work. To this day I KNOW that it was because I changed my 

attitude to gratitude. 

 

Incidentally, the day after I found the earring the girl asked me if anyone 

had claimed it. I told her no and she said“I guess it was meant for you then.” 

I spent the next year conducting training work-shops all around the Seattle 

area and then decided to risk everything and go back to Scotland where I had 

lived previously. I closed my one man business, bought a plane ticket and got a 

six month visa from immigration. One month later I met my wonderful English wife 

and best friend of 15 years now. We live in a small beautiful cottage, two miles 

from a paved road in the highlands of Scotland. 

 

“THE ONLY ATTITUDE IS GRATITUDE”has been my motto for years now and yes, it 

completely changed my life.
