The EGO has landed – in your workplace.

The EGO has landed… In Your Workplace! We spend on average a third of our daily lives in our workplace. Many of us have little choice but to work to live, while others more fortunate, work for them is a vocation – their work is their life! Whatever your position is, the dynamics within the workplace will have a distinct effect on you to a greater or lesser degree, and moreover the fortunes on whether the enterprise is one of long-term success, a constant struggle or failure will rely on the what, where and who rule.

PLEASURE SEEKER?

A significant period of our daily life is spent pleasure-seeking, or more coherently ‘happiness’ seeking. The thing about happiness is that it is short-lived; it is great while it lasts, but invariably at some point, the mood of happiness will not last… and then, on we go again seeking the next shot of happiness. This roller coaster of emotion and experiences will be familiar to nearly everyone we know, and more importantly to ourselves – this meandering of mood is likened to, or expressed in words like treadmill, rat race, and ‘same old same old’…

REGAINING 'SELF'

We are immersed in a storm of information turbulence daily, sometimes we really do not see the wood for the trees and increasingly the search for ‘silence’ permeates the mind but escapes like a wonderful dream lost.

DEPRESSION...

Anyone who has been through this will tell you just how incredibly helpless, useless and despairing one can feel. Depression numbs and throws into reverse the will to exist, it instantly takes you out of society and spills you deep into your lowest self, it brings your energy and capabilities to a shuddering halt, your self-image deteriorates and your self-worth vanishes. Depression to put it simply, is the nemesis of what being a human being is all about.

The POWER of CHOICE

I was told many years ago as a boy that the difference between man and beast was our power to choose. Yes, free-will ladies and gentlemen. Leaving out natural phenomena, all else around us and often in us stems from a deep lying source called choice. Choice is the younger submissive cousin of thought and choice will not do anything unless thought issues the command to choose. What choice decides on doing depends on what big cousin was thinking! There is no missing link from thought to choice, it is seamless.

What can I do to improve communication skills everyday at minimum?

From the moment we let out a shriek following a slap by a mate ity nurse, at that very moment, we communicated. So communication then is entirely instinctive, and moreover, vital. It becomes even more vital in the workplace where those of us who are fortunate enough, spend so much of our time. Miscommunication in this environment is an irritant at best, and at worse - and at an operational level, potentially catastrophic.

DIFFICULTY

At irregular intervals in our daily lives, we all encounter difficulty. Like many of the other contesting emotional experiences, the self-empowerment gained through embracing and learning from these moments of challenge can be exhilarating. We should not choose to cheat our INNERMOST POWERS by circumventing problems; rather we should apply our mental, physical and spiritual energy to the difficulty in-hand.

Embracing Emotional Detachment

The value and benefit of emotional detachment must not be understated. We all need to feel valued, important, a sense of recognition... THIS IS ME! 'Me' is important, however allowing the emotional 'Me' to determine your sense of wellness and positive self-image in place of just being, just knowing, just accepting who you are may habitually become a boil on your psyche that may need to be lanced. Consider what I am trying to say by looking at how the website Facebook controls how some of us behave.

Shafts of the purest light...

It occurred to me that success owes much of its manifestation to the sense of inner peace - for me at least. Also my observation is that such success nearly always requires some interaction with another fellow human being along ones'life pathway; whether at the beginning, during, recognition at the end or a mixture of all three... for many of us success is determined by the opinions of or measured against the values of others or collection of others; typically referred to as society.

Judging Virtually

Has technological advancement forced so many of us to cast judgement from afar? You know, with all these social networks – we are seemingly ever more cautious about this person and that person, in some cases rightly so, while in others the judgement is often a reflection of our own insecurities and prejudices. Yet some of us spend many long hours trawling profiles and hopeful images of him, her, or them.

The Law of Reciprocation

Our lives are a constant statement of reciprocation and balance. We show kindness, we receive gratitude… I give, you receive… We believe strongly enough, our belief transpires… By acknowledging our failings, we can appreciate our strengths… You harbour bitte ess and vengeance, hurt and isolation will encase you… Let go of your past, and the future glow of opportunity will await you… Someone laughs uncontrollably, you too will raise a smile… We show the door to evil, and only good will come knocking… And thought inevitably leads to action…

How do you answer if an interviewer asks what your career aspirations are? Aspiration The Child of INSPIRATION~

This is an interesting question. Perhaps because using the word 'if' presumes that it is not certain that such an question will be asked at all. Are you therefore anticipating the question being asked? Or just covering all bases as part of your interview preparation? If I were the interviewer asking such a question, it would be to dig a little deeper into your thought processing... that is, how you reply, will tell me more about YOU the interviewee, than the actual information or content given.

Why Wait?

I was drawn to a posting made by an inspirational friend on Facebook recently; she drew my eye to the subject of ‘regret’. Now this is a subject that I have expressed opinion on before. Anyway, my mind is inclined to work overtime, become supercharged once stimulated, and just before entering the land of nod, I previewed what it is that I wanted to express here today.

DISCOURAGED

No doubt you’ve heard of the ‘nothing ventured nothing gained’ adage, certainly one of the truest statements ever conceived by man.

Trading SPACES?

All of us whether we know it or not exist in our very own energy bubble. This energy bubble is not seen with the naked eye by others, cannot be touched or apprehended or in normal everyday circumstances felt by the owner, but believe me reader it is there! Ok ok; so what in the universe am I talking about? Let's look at a negative and positive example of this phenomenon; this incredible unseen but real power.

The Negative Response to Positive Endeavour

For some of us, we don’t always see positivity for what it is. It is not that unusual to find that those who live their lives in a positive way, express positive mantras and are regarded as positive role models, will often attract hostility, jealousy, suspicion and other negative responses. This is perverse isn’t it? I am able to highlight just two of history’s most powerful names from many that could be presented as an example of this; Jesus Christ and Martin Luther King Jr.

Mid Life and Career Change?

The depth of inherent experiences to be accessed directly from Source of Success is something that I am very proud to be associated with. I am not too proud however to except that I am now at a stage of my life where any changes in one’s career can be for some, catastrophic. Now don’t be alarmed by my use of such a word, I am only expressing what one individual said to me after being made laid off at ‘ZERO’ notice in mid-life. The ceiling on the world caved in for this long standing successful professional. Can you see where I am going with this? No? Ok, let me be clear.

The Most Precious Thing!

Today I gave some thought to what do we regard as most important. Of course there will be some common things like family, my husband/wife, my children, job, my pet dog or cat, my car, house, business. For some it could be money, their investments, gold, stocks, shares, estate and all manner of technological gizmo’s… For others it’s quite simply life, to love and be loved, health, God, Allah or some other deity. I would be interested in learning what is yours indeed.

What Is Your Driver?

Do you look forward to tomorrow? Or would you rather hibe ate until your world changes? What about your mindset – do you seek short-term happiness or long-term contentment? Do you tackle life by carefully setting goals, planning how to get there, and thoroughly enjoying the ride?! Or is it the reassurance and need of that someone special? That someone who stimulates, will challenge you emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually; it is their special presence which makes you feel so good inside, wholesome, able to cope with your world.
