Insight of the day

"Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, not because they never found it, but because they didn't stop to enjoy it."

William Feather
1889-1981, Writer

Enthusiasm

Received this today - I love it!

"Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic, be enthusiastic and faithful, and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Law of Attraction

When we are feeling happy on the inside, law of attraction is matching up the inside of us, and bringing unlimited happiness to us. Law of attraction says, “Like attracts like”. We have to be the exact state on the inside of what we want to bring on the outside. You can’t complain and be miserable and expect your life to change. In that state you are attracting more misery to yourself. You have to be the ‘like’ that you want to attract.

Get on the Top

I received today a question.

What does it mean hard work? To become a workaholic?

"In Wikipedia dictionary workaholic, colloquially, is a person who is addicted to work. The phrase does not always imply that the person actually enjoys their work, but rather simply feels compelled to do it. There is no generally accepted medical definition of such a condition, although some forms of stress, obsessive-compulsive personality disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder can be work-related."

In my vision “hard work” has a different meaning as workaholic. I believe lot of people does not see the difference in here.

In the interview I just had, the person was asked to differentiate this thing.
To make a good impression, my candidate pretended she was explaining the meaning or difference but she was just playing with the words.

I had a conclusion: Some people become workaholic on their way of proving themselves they are good, they want to earn more money and all it matters is the result. But is the meaning of result? My idea was thinking about success in work. Some are speaking about money as result.

Margaret Thatcher, the Former Prime Minister of England said: "I do not know anyone who has got to the top without hard work. That is the recipe. It will not always get you to the top, but should get you pretty near."

To achieve that top you set for yourself you will surely need hard work. But before you decide to start to work hard define for yourself what hard work means. If you really like that kind of job you're doing than do your best being successful with it and work smart.

Another common question in my interviews. What is success? How can you describe success? I believe and trust in people's creativity but most of the time they don't use it. As result 5 from 10 persons answer trying to give the best definition found once in a book or blog.

I insist to think about a definition that characterize them. It should come from inside. Astonishing!

Conclusion: people don't like this kind of questions not because they may not know the answer but because they do not allow themselves to think about success as something they deserve to have or be.

Wish you a successful career path and work smart :)

Make a difference

Most people feel powerless to help others, when in fact every single human being has a power within them that, when directed properly, will help beyond anything else. You can direct this power by focusing on people in difficult situations being in joy, by imagining them in joy right now. Hold to the outcome of joy for them. By doing this, you will cause the unfathomable Creative Power to move through you to bring them joy.

"It's the little things you do that can make a big difference. What are you attempting to accomplish? What little thing can you do today that will make you more effective? You are probably only one step away from greatness."

Bob Proctor
Author and Speaker
