Hindu and Buddhist thought made sense to Veronica, and as she built them into her own philosophy, she revisited her analysis of her situation. Maybe it was true that the big star didn’t value Veronica as much as she’d like. But that shouldn’t make her incapable of valuing herself. If he couldn’t thank her personally once in a while or find some way to show his appreciation, then he had a problem: either blindness or ingratitude. But that was his problem, not Veronica’s. Still, Veronica needed to realize that she was essential to the big star’s success—but not irreplaceable. Remember those thousands of new graduates drooling for her job?

Since Veronica already knew she was fortunate to have her job, she wanted to want to keep it. Her new disposition—nonattachment to the “stuff” that comes with a high-profile job and finding personal value in a job well done—helped her reach equilibrium. Buddhist philosophy asserts that outward conflicts (between people) are almost always a product of inner conflicts (within people). As Veronica resolved her own internal issues about prestige and recognition, the conflict between her and her boss dissipated and she recaptured her original enthusiasm for the importance and excitement of her work.
