Passion is a motivating factor for most people, and I am not any different. I believe that aside from being a driven person towards my passion, the healing arts, I am adept and I am willing to learn.
Massage therapy has inflicted in me a certain curiosity that until now I seem to not get rid of. People who have been feeling stressed out and really exhausted get a massage and they come back rejuvenated and relaxed, something that I thought only medications and lots of sleep can do. But if a person can supposedly heal another with just a stroke of the palm, then I would want to know how to do it.
I know that it takes more than curiosity and passion to learn, because the healing arts deal with people. I should also know how to show respect, patience and understanding. Each individual’s need is unique, and I know that I am flexible enough when dealing with each person. Providing my knowledge and services to those who need it is a challenge and at the same time a satisfaction for me. I know that it will be a hard task, but I want to be able to prove to myself that I can cater to each and everybody’s needs, and learning the massage therapy can train me in doing so. I also find satisfaction in being able to help other people. There is a glimmer of happiness that I see in a person’s eyes that I tend to cherish deeply, most especially if I know I was able to give them that glimmer.
I know I have yet to prove my capabilities and my worthiness, not only to other people but most especially to myself. I find it hard for others to praise you and give you that much credit if you do not feel that you are worthy. I know and I truly believe that if I will be given the chance to prove all of these in massage therapy, I will excel. I have the passion, the drive and the willingness to learn and incorporate all of these for people’s satisfaction and for my own also.
