Hello and how are we doing this weekend? This past week has been a great week because I have been able to learn so much more regarding my intellect and the reason I say this is because I have found that if you but make up your mind to learn anything you can learn it pretty quickly. I have known this for a very long time but a\sometimes though we might know something for a long time we will forget and then suddenly you have an AHA moment and though not new you feel great and this past week was one of those weeks.
I always tell people that we fall into a comfort zone and when we do that we become stifled if you will and we get stuck on a routine which can be bad for you and your mind.People who know me always ask me what I am reading or writing about because they always see me with a book at my favorite coffee shop or with a writing pad.
Let us talk a bit about fear and how much damage fear can do to an individual and to the mind. Fear is an indispensable part in the human mind. We can try to dispense it but that would be dangerous depending on the form or situation. Did you know that even a fearless man in the most modest city street would be dead before the day is over if the phrase be taken literally. Fear can also be a powerful motivator for the human mind again depending on the situation.
When we think about fear throughout all industries some grow from fear of penury ( Extreme poverty scarcity or destruction) Many discoveries in the medical field for the fear of diseases. There is also all the fear abnormalities such as hysteria,phobias and there are many out there in the world. There is also obsessive anxieties and believe me when i tell you that all of the above can tear a persons life to pieces, I have seen it so many times while being an executive coach for CEOS and management teams.
There is a few facts that we as human beings need to understand about fear. The one big fact is that human seek stimulus in hazardous situations and strange as that sounds it is in us. Believe it or not know that danger is an individuals love because sometimes that is where we find motivation deep inside us Think about this when we as individuals are not challenged we go out and seek that challenge that will make fell needed whether in our jobs in our daily routines and when we do not then we should realize that we have become conformed and when get to this point we need to look for things to stimulate the mind within us to keep us feeling alive.
One of my favorite things to do with people I meet is this. I watch to see what they are cynical about and I get to find out what makes them tick! and what makes them move or not move in life. We all have the power to turn a negative into a positive if but choose to change the mind. So many times when we try to help someone else we fail and the reason for this is because most of the time the solutions we come up with has no relation to the situation or issue.
If this happens there are so many elements to all of this such as knowing and understanding the issue. The real revelation here can be that something so simple as giving direction to someone could be an endemic obstacle to either a business or an individual.
Your real courage shows best in the hour of adversity.
Some setbacks are so severe that to give in to them means losing the whole ball game. When he assumed command of the Korean War, Gen. Matthew Ridgeway found his forces pushed far to the south, hard pressed by the invaders. Only a determined decision to hold the lines allowed the American forces to keep from being swept into the sea and to eventually regain all the territory they had lost. When a defeat strikes, you may not have the time to withdraw and contemplate your mistakes without risking further setbacks. Don’t succumb to paralysis.
It is important to know at that
moment what it is you truly desire and to act to preserve your resources
and your hope. If you crumble utterly, you will take a blow to your
self-esteem that will be hard to repair. Instead, stick to your
principles, and you will know, at the very least, that you have
protected the most important thing you have. Your successes in life will
far outnumber your failures.
Have you ever felt manipulated in the workplace common now be honest!! We all have at one point or another, here are some tips to see them coming your way;
A skilled workplace manipulator is usually an expert
at smiling. Through artful, indirect and devious methods, he/she
influences and controls others. Like a clever politician, a manipulative
workplace bully keeps his/her desires hidden. They will always make you feel good but take credit for something they did not do behind your back or closed doors.
Pretending to pursue the
greater good, he/she adopts the mantra of “company first” with a fervency
that inspires admiration and respect, and most people accept his/her claims
of selfless pursuit of noble causes.
But underneath his/her self-righteous image lies the essence of a
manipulator: someone who shrewdly and deviously attempts to control how
you feel, think and behave.
Be aware my friends but learn to see it coming and do not be afraid.
