Positive Energy

I have a distinct memory of eating at the Burger King in Waxahachie with my mom and older brothers when I was very young.  I remember ordering in the line and seeing the girl behind the counter, and how very happy she was. I don't remember much about the meal, the food could have been lousy, we might have taken the food to go or stayed to eat, I really don't remember much except, the girl behind the counter. There was a young woman waiting on us who smiled constantly.  She laughed with her coworkers, and spoke to us with such ease and warmth. She was having a good time, and seemed to love her job.
As we left, I remember asking my mom how much you have to pay to work at Burger King. She of course was confused. I asked again, how much does it cost to work at Burger King? She went on to explain that they actually pay you to work there, and that's why it's called a job, etc.  I was totally and completely confused.
I had no idea why a place would pay you to come to work when you were having so much fun and felt as happy as that girl behind the counter. I honestly was confused about jobs and work and being paid versus having to pay. I thought it was the most amazing thing that you could have fun and be so happy to be somewhere, and have someone give you money to do it!
I have no clue who the girl was. There is really no telling if she really loved her job as much as it seemed to me that she did. But one thing I can be sure of, I want to be that girl!
I want to love my job so much that it makes people wonder if I'm paying to have fun there or they are paying me. I want to have such a demeanor that inspires other people to love what they do.  I want to find something that I am able to shine in, and not care about a paycheck.
What would happen if we were all actually able to do that? What would happen if we all made conscious decisions to be happy and make the most of our jobs? Would your dream job suddenly appear, sprung from the lack luster dead end position that you currently hold? Would someone see your spirit and hire you to do something you never could have dreamt? Will you find success sooner rather than later?
Maybe that girl, behind the counter at Burger King is still there today.  Maybe she quit the next day.  Maybe she impressed another customer so much they decided to hire her on the spot to work for them. There is really no telling, but even today I have that memory stuck in my head, and I can only hope to have such a positive effect on others.
