What Career Are You Meant For?

If you are like me, you have spent a lot of time wondering what your perfect career might be. You might have a career, or you may not, but you have probably wondered about it. If you have one and enjoy it, you probably think about it less than someone who hates their job.
If you are like most people, you think you have the perfect career on days you are having fun, and you wonder how you ever got there and where you might turn to find greener pastures on days when you are miserable.
Careers are strange things. Why do we spend so much time and effort on a career? Is it because we want to find meaning in our lives and do something rewarding? Or is it because we want to leave a legacy, a way for us to be remembered after we are gone?
Legacy is another interesting concept. Why would we care about what people think after we are gone? Do we believe that we will be affected by people’s thoughts about us after death? Or do we feel that we will somehow live on if someone thinks about us, and legacy is some form of life extension, a way to survive beyond the grave?
No matter what your reasons are for pursuing a career, even if it is only part time, we all share the desire to do something meaningful and we are all doing our best to live life to the fullest. We all do it in different ways, and some of those ways are more beneficial to humanity than others, but we are all trying our best with what we have been given.
Sometimes we find ourselves in tough situations, but we try anyway. In the end, we all end up the same, and all that is left is our legacy. Maybe this matters, and maybe it doesn’t, but since no one knows one way or the other…
What career did you get?

She Sticks Her Hand Into The Water. But Everyone On The Boat Is Stunned When The UNTHINKABLE Comes Out!

Whale-spotting is always an exciting event, as these awesome creatures have such an extraordinary essence. The video you are about to watch below was filmed in Mexico’s famed San Ignacio Lagoon, an area that is renowned for being one of the most likely places in the world to see whales!
In fact, due to the abundance of whales in San Ignacio, whales seem to have grown comfortable with human presence in this lagoon, often actually approaching the tourist boats. However, the boats are prohibited from initiating the contact with the whales; they are required to wait patiently in one spot, in the hope that a whale will make the approach toward them.
Surprisingly, the whales aren’t avoidant about coming close; they do so quite frequently, which indicates that they have grown to trust human interaction. In the incredible footage captured by these excited whale-watchers, you will see a mother gray whale appear and then proudly lift up her baby calf.
This was astounding, as whales are extremely protective of their young. The excitement of the tourists on the boat is palpable, as they enjoy this rare and beautiful event.

As parents, we love our children so much, that it is often difficult to keep healthy boundaries, when our child experiences the inevitable hurt they will experience in their interactions with other kids. We desperately want to protect them, and give them the coping skills they will need to successfully navigate their social experiences.
Imagine how much tougher it is when parents have a child with autism. According to a research study that was cited by CNN, 46% of children with autism, report victimization or bullying while in middle and high school.
Sonny Giroux and his wife, are the loving parents of Benjamin, an autistic 10-year-old fifth grader with Asperger’s syndrome. Benjamin had a school assignment to write a poem titled “I Am”. According to “The Huffington Post”, when he showed his parents the poem which you will read below, they were overcome with different emotions.
Their feelings of pride over Benjamin’s ability to express himself with such depth and insight that is way beyond his years, was overshadowed by the grief they felt over his profound words depicting his isolation and loneliness.
The posting of this poem brought an overwhelmingly positive response from people so deeply touched by his words that so aptly describes the inner world of a child dealing with the sadness that comes with the social disabilities that accompany Asperger’s.
After you read Benjamin’s heart wrenching poem below, watch the video of a young man with Asperger’s describe his inability to pick up on other people’s body language and emotions, and the suffering it caused him throughout his childhood and the isolation and loneliness he still suffers today.

THIS Cat Had a Litter of 7 Tiny Kittens. But What The Family Dog Does To Them Is UNTHINKABLE!
image via – youtube.com
Dogs and cats are often portrayed as natural enemies, but we all know that in many situations that is simply not the case. There are countless stories of cats and dogs getting along just fine, some are even best friends. The canine-feline bond is extremely strong among many of the animals, to the point where sometimes they’ll even adopt and care for each other’s babies!
When Regina, a woman who lives in Louisiana, was asked to take care of two cats for a friend who had joined the U.S. Navy, she was more than happy to welcome them into her home. Wanting them to be comfortable, she gave the kitties, Gail and Tara, their own space in her sewing room and they quickly settled in. While one of the cats, Tara, initially seemed to be a bit bloated to both Regina and her roommate, they soon dismissed any concerns they’d had and thought that maybe she was just a huskier cat.
All that changed when a few weeks later Regina woke to the sound of meowing. The cats were usually very quiet, so she went and checked on them. What she found was that Tara wasn’t fat, instead she’d been pregnant and had given birth to two tiny kittens! By the end of the day, her litter would grow to contain seven newborns and Tara was beyond happy with her new litter.
In addition to her feline guests, Tara and her roommate had two dogs living with them, Archer and Zooey. At first the dogs could have cared less about the new kittens, but over time that changed. Archer, a Dachshund mix, began to develop a very keen interest in them a short while after they were born. This worried Regina, she wasn’t sure why he was suddenly so honed in on them, so she decided to introduce them all properly. Under her watchful eye, she let Archer get close and sniff them out, and what he did showed her how harmless his interest was! All that he ended up doing was licking them all over and their cat mother seemed grateful for the new extra help.
Pretty soon Archer had assumed the father position to the kittens. He loved spending time with them and would pick them up by their scruffs. He’d bring them along with him everywhere he went. In fact, a couple of times he even brought them to Regina’s bed so they could all cuddle! Archer truly loved them all so much and turned out to be a great help because he’d clean and play with them and make sure they didn’t get into too much trouble.
As the kittens grew up and got bigger, caring for 9 cats and two dogs was becoming a lot of work. While Regina probably wanted to keep them all, she knew that she couldn’t. She wanted the best for them all and eventually found them new forever homes. While Archer undoubtedly missed them, life soon went back to normal. Regina will never forget the love and devotion he showed them, and it just goes to show that cats and dogs can come together to be a loving family.

6 Years Ago a Sheep Escaped and Grew 60lbs of Wool. They Were Stunned But Wait Til’ You See Him Now!
image via – youtube.com
There once was a Merino sheep named Shrek who lived on a farm in South Island, New Zealand. When he was four years old, he decided to strike out on his own and so he ran away from home. Escaping into the surrounding wilderness, he spent his time happily grazing and exploring the beautiful landscape. To avoid detection he hid in local caves where he knew he’d be safe.
Shrek’s time in the wild came to an end when he was eventually discovered in 2004. To say he had changed a bit would be an understatement. When he left, he had been well groomed with a short fleece coat. When he re-appeared, he was a giant poufy mass of wool. Upon seeing him for the first time after all those years his owner, John Perry, described the elusive sheep as looking like some ancient biblical creature!
While sheep normally get sheared once a year, Shrek hadn’t been sheared in 6 years. Because Merino sheep never shed their fleece like many other types of sheep typically do, it meant Shrek’s coat simply kept on growing. Over the years he was at large he produced a whole lot of wool, so much that it weighed 60 pounds. In fact, the amount of wool he had on him was enough to make 20 large men’s suits.
When he was finally sheared, Shrek looked like a shell of his former self, but in a healthy, good type of way. He could see a whole lot better once it was out of his eyes and he probably felt a lot cooler, not to mention lighter. At the time of his shearing, Shrek had already become a local celebrity in sheep-mad New Zealand. He ended up meeting the prime minister at the time, Helen Clarke, and the countries national television broadcast his amazing transformation for everyone to see. Being a sheep of the people, his fleece was auctioned off with the proceeds going to benefit children’s medical charities.
Shrek’s time in the limelight didn’t end there, he went on to appear in many children’s books and made guest appearances for various charities. Perhaps the highlight of his fame, and the craziest thing he ever experienced, came two years after his initial TV appearance when he was once again sheared on live TV. This time however, he got his haircut while on an iceberg that was floating off the coast of Dunedin, New Zealand!
