Janet is a young, healthy professional. But lately she hasn't been feeling very well. While walking home from work yesterday, she had a hard time breathing. She couldn't catch her breath, but dizzy and just felt completely overwhelmed. Her heart was pounding very strong, she couldn't seem to calm herself down. So later in the week, she went to see her doctor who told her that it sounded like she was having panic attacks.
That's weird. She thought. My life's been going just like it's posting. I finally got that promotion I've been working for. I'm working hard, but that's what I need to do to succeed in this industry. Plus, I finally met a man who I plan to spend my life with.
He's tall, handsome, and has a great job. Sure, he hates dogs. And we don't share many hobbies. But I know He's the kind of man I should marry. Why would I be having panic attacks the next day while chatting with a co worker about the panic attacks in her confusing doctor's appointment. Then it realizes that although she finally has the life, she always thought she wanted that maybe this is in even what she wants.
She worked hard to get the promotion because she needed to buy a house. She loves her little apartment, but her mom, dad and boyfriend keep telling her that she needs to buy a house. And the only way to buy a house is to earn more money. So she needed to work extra long hours to get that promotion. And she loves dogs. And always imagine like with dogs, is she really willing to settle for never living in the company of a cute puppy for this tall, handsome man who her parents like?
Maybe not. But she's not sure. She never really thought about the idea of choosing things specifically based on what she wanted. She always just did what she was supposed to. Maybe her co worker could tell her what to do. or her sister.
Surely they'll know what's right for her. But will they know, they won't. They aren't Genet. They have different green values and goals that Janet has. If Janet is ever going to decide what's right for her, she's gonna have to spend some quality time with her mind and soul and figure it out. If she is still enough and quiet enough, they'll guide her down the right path for her
