I’m Embarrassed To Talk With My Family About My Job
(thegrindstone by Ruth Graham)
(thegrindstone by Ruth Graham)
Just about anyone getting started in a career faces a moment in which you’re a bit embarrassed to tell your family what you really do all day: “I fold sweaters.” “I fetch coffee.” “I audition over and over.” “I make copies.” If you feel a little bashful about your current career status, take comfort in these extreme stories from people who really hate talking with their families about their jobs. Read on for stories from a pet psychic whose family thinks she’s a con artist, a Butterball Turkey employee with vegan parents, and the daughter of an investment banker who paid for her own posh lifestyle by working as an escort.
I am a medium, intuitive, horse whisperer and pet psychic. I am NOT ALLOWED to talk about my work at family functions. I have a brother who is very open to what I do and he is very spiritual so we sneak off and talk about it. My sister is jealous so I don’t talk about how well I am doing in front of her.
My mom and stepdad don’t believe in anything that I do. My stepdad thinks I am a con artist. He thinks when you die, that’s it. Your consciousness doesn’t continue. I feel so positive about my work because I have helped thousands of people and their pets and even saved lives for over 22 years. I have hundreds of repeat clients. I teach them to become empowered, not co-dependent on me and the guidance that comes through for them.
At last Thanksgiving, my brother’s dog was so anxious – he has OCD anyway. I told my brother in front of everyone that he is having trouble keeping track of his toys – he wants them all together. One toy was a hexagonal ball which was hollow. I put all his other toys in the ball and gave it back to him. He put his paw on it and promptly went to sleep. Everyone laughed but I could see my parents were very uncomfortable with what I just did.
I don’t have an ego because it is the kiss of death when doing intuitive work so I really don’t care or mind that most of my family doesn’t like it or understand it. I know that everyone is on their own path and they get it when they get it. I never feel it is my responsibility to convince anyone of the validity of my work.

真實的友情
Things Real Friends Do Differently
They face problems together. – A person who truly knows and loves you – a real friend – is someone who sees the pain in your eyes while everyone else still believes the smile on your face. Don’t look for someone who will solve all your problems; look for someone who will face them with you.
They give what they can because they truly care. – One of the biggest challenges in relationships comes from the fact that many of us enter a relationship in order to get something. We try to find someone who’s going to make us feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last, and give us joy in the long-term, is if we see our relationship as a place we go to give, and not just a place we go to take. Yes, of course it is okay to take something from a relationship too. But both sides should be giving. It can only be a ‘give and take’ if BOTH SIDES are GIVING. That’s the key.
They are genuine, and expect genuineness. – As Leo F. Buscaglia once said, “Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations. Don’t over-analyze your relationships. Stop playing games. A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness.” Don’t play games with people’s heads and hearts. Remember, love and friendship don’t hurt. Lying, cheating and screwing with people’s feelings and emotions hurts. Always be open, honest, and genuine. (Read The Mastery of Love.)
They believe in each other. – Simply believing in another person, and showing it in your words and deeds, can make a huge difference in their life. Studies of people who grew up in dysfunctional homes but who grew up to be happy and successful show that the one thing they had in common was someone who believed in them. Do this for those you care about. Support their dreams and passions and hobbies. Participate with them. Cheer for them. Be nothing but encouraging. Whether they actually accomplish these dreams or not, your belief is of infinite importance to them.
They listen, and they hear every word. – Giving a person a voice, and showing them that their words matter, will have a long-lasting impact on them. Less advice is often the best advice. People don’t need lots of advice, they need a listening ear and some positive reinforcement. What they want to know is often already somewhere inside of them. They just need time to think, be and breathe, and continue to explore the undirected journeys that will eventually help them find their direction.
They keep their promises. – Your word means everything. If you say you’re going to do something, DO IT! If you say you’re going to be somewhere, BE THERE! If you say you feel something, MEAN IT! If you can’t, won’t, and don’t, then DON’T LIE. Real friends keep promises and tell the truth upfront. (marcandangel.com)
