Hello everyone! It's me, Michelle, that bubbly girl who gives you an overview of what we do at the cove when you drop by. Since I started these all up, let me be the first to officially create an entry to the DSC Book of Shadows. A lot mistake me for another client waiting for her cards to be read, as well. When I tell clients that I'm also a reader, they ask my age then ask how long I have been reading tarot cards and how I got into this at an "early" stage of my life. I am best counsel to the people my age, I would say as they openly confide in me like they would among their friends. Only a few older people prefer me over the rest of the readers. I don't take it against these clients who prefer someone older than them. I also don't hold it against them if they think that I am too young to do what I do.Forming my Knowledge of The Self
Being an only child made me deal with older people more than people my age. So maybe, that's why I'm into most things that are not usual to people my age. Also, I've had my share of "you're-so-young-are-you-serious" moments all through my life. People say I look young, I don't know if I should be taking it as a complement as they tend to treat me like a kid too. Growing up in this kind of environment, I've had my share of "what-is-wrong-with-me" moments. There were times that I felt low, and I just wished that people would give me a chance and that they would just let me be.
In my teenage years, I was always struggling to fit in. People would always mock me, spread rumors about me and make me feel like I don't belong. I've had my share of heartbreaks, too. Guys I've met suddenly leave me because they have heard rumors about me. Most men I've been with tried to control me, made me feel that I have to change because some other girl is better than me. I've also experienced being stepped on in the workplace. And yes, I would walk out on a job, every time I feel that I cannot be me or people suppress my freedom to express myself.
Being a philosophy graduate, I value my individuality so much. I uphold to myself the highest sense of truth and integrity. To me, it is important that I be myself in everything that I do. If I cannot be true to a person special to me, even if it hurts, I would leave him or her behind. What would be the use of having a relationship or keeping a friendship with someone you cannot be yourself with? It would be very much unfair to anyone to have a relationship that only the other is true to oneself and not you.
It's also an unhealthy relationship since the people who are forcing me to walk in the shoes of another person is having a relationship with an illusory personality projected in my being. It is very unethical as well to ask for a person to be somebody else then befriend him or her afterwards as the person has his or her own identity which cannot be altered for someone else's pleasure. No man is an island and yet we should not lose ourselves in building relationships with people. Who cares if I have a few friends, at least I know they are real and they accept me for who I really am.
So for those who see me as very rebellious, weird or strange, that is because they don't know me. These people just let their wandering mind populate all the outside gossips they here about me and conclude into that mental image they have of me. For those who see the real me, those who gave me a chance and those who trust me, I can brag that they have no regrets of doing so. As the way I relate to anyone is simple: I accept them for who they are, I help and support them in whatever they are going through. I don't expect anything in return, just for them to let me be me. Being the Saguitarius that I am, I become loyal to people who are true to me and respect my need for freedom and self-expression.
Helping others Appreciate Themselves
All my life, I've been trying to empower myself, not letting anyone step on it. I think it's time to give back, and I'm able to do it through Da Seekers Cove. I feel so fulfilled having the opportunity to meet people and help them the way that Da Seekers Cove has helped me. Yes people, I was once one of their clients who felt of being accepted for who I am. I feel happy when I know that I have helped someone clear their mind through the tarot cards. I'm also happy when I see clients get out of the consultation rooms with smiles on their faces.
Truly, a person can never go wrong once you know yourself, as the ultimate problem of anyone having trouble is not being sure of themselves. Going to just anyone for self-reassurance can be risky as you would never know their intentions of having suggested you a certain solution. The best way to test if someone you consulted is taking advantage of your situation is when they force you into a solution which you haven't thought of very well. At Da Seekers Cove, we don't dictate a solution for you. We help you clear your mind so you can decide for yourself. We listen to your worries and make you feel at ease to confide in us. We don't rush you into decisions, we empower you and guide you through your dilemma.
I used to mentally search for a word in describing my job when randomly asked by people what I do for a living. If I say I help people and it's my regular job, most would think that I am part of some sort of gang who do tricks on people to get through and burn their pockets. Others would think that there are alternative ways to get help, through NGOs and social workers and that I don't have any conscience because I let people pay when I help them solve their problems. But think of it this way, as long as we live in the physical world, we would always need to get by with our daily needs. Also as long as we live, we have problems. Combining these two, thus the opening of this industry. Besides, NGOs and social workers, do what they do voluntarily, that means when they have the time. We can't program our problems to arise only when there's a volunteer available to help us right?
At Da Seekers Cove, we have all the time to listen and help you in the process of resolving your concerns. We may not be a 24/7 Call Center who you can call to talk to any time but you can see us regularly at our consultation center. So now, when I'm asked what I do for a living, I say I help people. Then when they ask further, I tell all the things I have written above. Helping people is indeed something noble. More than a job, it is a career with heart. It is a lifetime commitment, once you realize the relevance of what you do, there's no way you will ever retire from this. You're not motivated because of the pay, but because of the number of grateful people you have helped. Most of all, it can change you. So why not start to help someone today (free trial, aha!) and see for yourself how fulfilling it can be.
