Sourcing! Embarrassment Holders

People are reading, relaxing and talking. The vibe is good. I feel happy to have my business meetings at Cafe Coffee Day outlets with a smile on my face and joy in my heart.

It was during one such meeting that I was having with a young client of mine who happened to be an elite fashion model.She was explaining to me about a major stress episode that she was going through due to house hunting for rent.

She also stated to me that her lifestyle was on the runway, where there was no time to eat and the pressure to vacate her current accommodation was intense.

Hence she had reached out to me to help her to reduce stress through the world-class NLP techniques & mind relaxation therapy and empower her with the ability to take a step back from the sense of urgency.

As a protocol, prior to listening to my client’s stated issues, I usually make it a point to place the order for a coffee for each of us. While the order had just been served, we wanted to ask for some cookies too.

Hence, I tried calling to the waiter who was standing at a distance with his back towards me. Needless to say, that he could not see either of us. However, our ‘call for help’ was loud enough to grab everyone’s attention but the waiter. He just refused to turn his attention towards us.

It seems that he had made himself quite busy arranging the other table and a moment after that he went on the other side of the restaurant & vanished.

What a petty… I whined. I was not pleased. I felt horrible. I murmured…” This guy definitely needs intensive training on customer service”!

Without much choice, I decided to walk straight up to the main counter to buy the cookies.

The counter staff who attended me apologized proactively as she was watching it all on the CCTV console and further revealed that this waiter was deaf and mute.

Oftentimes, life learning comes in an unexpected and unpredictable way.

I believe that our inner ears are often desensitized by the inner thoughts, distractions of the world, the busyness of life, prior experiences and the hardness of the heart that we judge and assume at the blink of an eye.

In this scheme, everything we read, taste, touch, smell and hear matters and nothing should be seen as stupid as we learn a lot in life’s funnier moments!

It builds our self-awareness and, our compassion. Enjoy life, learn from life!

So, live in the moments and learn to see value in everything we experience, even the deeply embarrassing episodes.

A big shout to all embarrassment holders…I wish to source n gain more insights from you.
