Perspectives

find yourself being led or driven?

by Paul Joo

If you find yourself having to be given the same information & guidance every time you are required to respond to a certain stimulus in a certain way because time and again you are unable to keep your feet on the path, you are the type of individual that needs to be driven.

Conversely, if you require that information & guidance only once because you seize the initiative at the outset, even if you require small course corrections from time to time you are the type of individual that can be relied upon by an equally competent leader.

The latter type of people are not only reliable & trustworthy, but often find themselves cultivating their own leadership capabilities and becoming leaders in their own right.

Which type are you?

 

Perspectives

when you feel like complaining

by Paul Joo

Have you ever thought to yourself: “Had I known ahead of time how hard this was going to be, I would have prepared myself better for it!”

Well, consider this: The truth may well be that had you indeed known the truth, you might not have found the strength to even get started.

So perhaps now is the time to just follow through with your best, eh?

Perspectives

earn your own great expectations

by Paul Joo

As a survival instinct, we can have a tendency to treat all the unpleasant cause & effect patterns we’ve ever experienced as having coalesced into a single ever-present “force or power”.

And because we have a powerful emotional  “muscle memory” of those patterns, we can often hold this imaginary force or power as responsible for every single thing that has worked against us, seems to be working against us today, and may be expected to work against our well-being in the future as well

I think this is one reason why our Habitual Fears are able to command our attention so easily; we see them as harbingers of that power or force that we’re expecting to inevitably work against us!

One solution springs to mind that is quite simple, if perhaps not all that easy:

Rather than clinging to old emotions rooted in bad memories, we might all be better off basing our expectations on the reality of our present circumstances, capabilities, and possibilities.
