The last few months have been the hardest times I have ever been through. Between being sick, being let go from my job, losing friendships, receiving bad criticism on a personal and professional level, and being told I dont deserve the leadership roles and honors I have received... I pretty much hit rock bottom. But the two events that happened today made all the pain and emotion I went through worth every bit of it. I received an email this afternoon from a CMA in Oregon. She had read the newsletter I was featured in back in May and it inspired her to become a part of the American Association of Medical Assistants and become more involved in her local chapter. She is around my age and feels the same way I felt when I first became involved in the AAMA. She felt that her voice was not being heard and no one cared about her opinions, but after she read my article she changed her view on it. The last sentence in her email said You are a true role model as a CMA and as a person in general, and because of you, I can now stand up in front of my local chapter and be confident in my opinions and now I know that they do listen to me and you gave me that courage. Reading that just made me feel good about myself again, and I am so glad that I am still making a difference in peoples lives. When I came home I started opening my mail from my mail box and I received a letter saying that I had been nominated for the Top 100 Future Leaders of America. Because of the article I was featured in and my role in the AAMA I was nominated. I am in total shock right now! These two events got me really thinking...and I have come to this. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A MISTAKE and EVERYTHING REALLY DOES HAPPEN FOR A REASON!!!! Every action I have made, every decision I have made, every thought, feeling, and emotion I have had, and everything that has happened to me happened FOR A REASON! There are no such thing as mistakes, mistakes are just events in your life that you learn from. Yes I regret some of the actions I have made, and the feelings I have hurt of some people but I cant take that back and I have learned that all that happened for a reason...it happened to get me to where I am today...it happened to make me the successful person I am today. I have also come to the conclusion that: All the people that told me that I dont deserve all the honors and leadership roles I have received in the last few months are the people that dont deserve to have me in their life. All the friends that told me I was fake and all the friends that walked out of my life because they did not understand what I have been going through...those friends are the ones that are fake since they promised to be there for me through thick and thin. I am good at what I do, regardless of what any former employer or co worker has said about me or thinks about me. I am who I am and I cant change that...and for the first time in a long time...I DONT WANT TO CHANGE WHO I AM...because I am proud of who I am and what I have accomplished. :) #GODisgood
