Instructions or signals are always there around us

Develop a level of awareness in everyday life

In the reality of our lives everyday, so many signals or instructions from God the Almighty on us each useful for self-development process. Instructions or signal is often overlooked by us for granted.

There is an interesting story that I experienced a few moments ago. This story happened during a meeting with my old friend, we call it as a mother Jackie, in at a restaurant in a mall in South Jakarta numbers. The meeting between two friends and family who have not seen for so long would normally carry a lot of stories. As for work, the children and stories about old friends who had seldom any other meet.

But of all the nostalgia and stories that, for some reason there is a story, which is always repeated by the mother Jackie, namely the faithful servant, call it as mbok ipeh. These assistants have many years with them, since they were first married. Although very loyal and hardworking, there is one less thing that they enjoy from the ipeh Mbok. He often complained.

Ibu Yanti told (many times and with the spirit) that is complaining mboknya in any case, can complain in small or large. For example when Jackie's mother came home shopping and bring soap bonus small size, mbok ipeh accepted by grumbling, saying "that store, ngasih small gift like this ... kok very stingy". Or at any other time, when Jackie's mother cat has been throwing dirt even places that have been determined, mbok aja ipeh still complaining and grumbling that the cat feces, thus, so and so. Or at any other time, when Jackie's mother buy food, mbok ipeh often complained that the newly purchased food is less tasty and so forth, and so on ... ..

In fact these stories frequently heard and the above happens in our lives everyday.

And our family just smiled listening to it.

But eventually I had to answer when Jackie's mother asked directly to me,

"How tuh? deh annoyed me, yes there are ways to reduce the nature of guns Mbok? ", I was forced to give answers,

"You're doing just now?"

"Yes ... the story of my mbok ... how??" Mother Jackie said with a little pissed off.

"The story or complaining?" I asked him

"Hmmmm ... .. the story, but, also yes ... sigh. Hahahahaha" mother Jackie said, slapping his own head.

Next I tried to explain to the mother Jackie that we should always try to see the signal and introspective. Mbok ipeh with personality-nature, which always exist in reality life for herself the mother Jackie was, consciously or unconsciously are made Yanti own mother, she is attractive mbok ipeh in life., And mbok ipeh could be a reflection or a reflection of the mother Jackie alone. Mbok ipeh can be a hint or a signal for the mother Jackie for introspection and look within himself. Ibu Yanti could unknowingly was a complainer, too.

Answering the question of our friends about mbok ipeh, finally I can only advise him to keep reminding mbok ipeh to not complain and always be grateful.

Next I told the mother Jackie, that's more important is that she should always be grateful to accept the situation, whatever its form and in any case. By always grateful, he would, as it also eliminates the complaints that there was in him.

Grateful is the most powerful weapon in increasing the positive energy and awareness in our lives.

And of course the most interesting part of it is, that in addition to mbok ipeh is a signal for the mother Jackie, we, too, get a signal from the mother Jackie.

He is a signal for me alone, or also perhaps make my family members who were at the meeting and listen to my mother Jackie told me ..

Maybe we are still often complain or still less awareness to always be grateful. With the mother Jackie, we get the signal to increase our awareness of qualities that are in need of repair.

There are many simple stories that happen around our lives everyday. And you are like me, would often experience. But perhaps you and I often spent just a really simple events may carry clues or signals for the development of ourselves.

Usually we are much easier to recognize the signal or the instructions of God that is more "excited" and pass a simple visible signal according to our perception.

But the signal is fixed signal, the instructions are still instructions, either simple or excited. What is needed is to increase our awareness or consciousness of the instructions or signals. We must be more sensitive to hear and feel, and accept it as an input in the process to improve ourselves in enjoying the experience of life we are living it.

Being successful is the dream of all people. Of course, this requires a strong motivation to overcome challenges to achieve what you want. This motivation must be grown from within ourselves. You could have read hundreds of books or go to dozens of seminars to get an injection of motivation, but what often happens is an increase in emotional moment for change. This may last one or two weeks and after that you feel everything back into mediocrity like the old conditions. Ever feel that way?

"The motivation is that your trees flush with self-discipline"

How do you stay motivated to work to reach the desired goal? The bottom line motivation is the art of communicating with oneself. This communication involves the feeling that you feel the emotions that arise.

So what's the difference between feelings and emotions?

This example, if you feel guilty about the emotions that come to fear being judged, to escape, and so on. If you feel happy, emotions can be a joy, joy, desire to share, etc.. Emotions arise as a result of the feelings that occur within themselves.

So easy to live really motivated. The key is to feel things that are happy and who will imagine the success you achieve. I guarantee you'll be motivated to work.

In addition there are a few tips that I want to give to get you motivated anytime, anywhere:

1. Always consistent

Ease arises from the habit. Motivation was the same. He needs discipline, so you get used to life with motivation. There is a good phrase that says, "Something that you repeat every day for 21 days will become a habit". I encourage you to practice. Start with simple things like smiling in front of the mirror, say "Yes" before work, and many more.

2. Responsible

You need someone who will remind you to remain in the destination. He served to provide support and become a partner to brainstorm ideas and ideas that you have. From here you will feel a responsibility to provide the best for her. The process of achieving goals is easier with the presence of someone who becomes a mirror of yourself.

If you want to build businesses, Make friends with people who've been in the business world or those who want to start a business. You can get the energy and motivation from them. It would be very easy to be motivated when you get support. How do you feel as an obstacle when working alone can be overcome with the help and support of friends the same vision.

4. Focus on process, not a destination

This is very important. Often you down mentally when faced with adversity to reach the goal. Focus on the process. Each process takes time. For some quick, some slow. Your goal is clear, but the journey to get there can be winding and up and down. With a focus on the process you avoid the mental burden because now you have control over the process itself, rather than controlled by the target to achieve the goal.

Now you better know that motivation is the key to success. All you need now is a strong willingness to apply it in everyday life. Like what the saying goes "There's a will there's a way". Good work and do not forget to appreciate yourself in every moment that the slightest success.

Corporate Slave: A Modern-day Forced Labor?

Understanding the totality of Work 

A few months ago, the words slave or slave to corporate companies, came to me again. These words spoken by my nephew, which at that time I asked about her plans to spend time at the end of that week. The answer he was "well ... can not go everywhere, to the office, no work to be done, ordinary corporate slaves .... ....", the answer is actually joked a lot of meaning. My nephew said it, not because he's unpreparedness to deliver the best on the job and duty, but an expression that, as an office clerk, he had a responsibility to complete her task, and that, if necessary, should he do when holiday weekend though, because forced or no command. He likens himself like a corporate slave ...

It was a tradition of this earth, when we have reached a certain age and with a certain degree, the time has come for us to look for jobs at the company. Of course, usually the company or government agency that is best targeted by each of us to make a living and get the best career. But tradition or custom work for a company, or an employee of a company, not necessarily the best for each of us, this also applies to the tradition or other common habit in society in everyday life. It could be an employee of a company, where we will serve the enterprise is the biggest mistake we did. Because possible for each of us, there are still other ways to improve our lives by getting a living by not being an employee of the company.

This paper does not intend to discredit the people who become company employees, but just sharing that wherever we work, we must give our totality, but we must also accept the results of our totality of the wage in terms of broad, the equivalent, which provide total satisfaction within ourselves. Especially in our self-development.

It's very rooted in the lives of most of mankind, that being an employee of a company is the safest action for a living and to ensure and support the continuation of life. But is this true? Are we positioned ourselves at any time, with or without realizing it, with or without cause, at the ready position for the termination by the company, is the most secure in our lives for a living and support our lives?

Of course the answer lies in ourselves, how we work, discipline and so is the best guarantee that we have when working in a company. But obviously it was not guarantee 100% that an employee is the only way to make a living and live our lives. You will be guaranteed if you are in full control, and an employee is a person who is controlled, in this case by the company.

Being a corporate employee is a process of barter between the time that we give of energy and thoughts with wages that we receive from the company. These wages can be salary, health benefits, transportation allowance or a car, house and so on. So we will receive a reward when we give our energy and thoughts on the company. What if we're not giving our energy and thoughts on the company, such as vacations, family gatherings or even sleep? Does the moments that we should not or can not get a wage? Do we have to get a wage when we work alone? What do we do with energy and thoughts outside of work hours should not be rewarded? Perhaps your answer is fine, it is called odd job. But there will be a give input that do things like that will not give us the totality of the company, may arise "conflict of interest" and so on. So if the barter that occurs as we give our time and thoughts of power and in return we give, we receive a reward from the company's best barter? What about the other time in our lives?

Is there another way?

Of course there is, and the most important thing is, make the "time" that we have in life into something that has "value".

We must create a system to "time" we give "value" is more to others and this should be rolled continuously, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. We must also create passive income or passive income from the time in our lives. This can be anything, such as building a company, building sites and blogs, or others. What is important is that what was done, since the beginning, will always to our revenue stream, whether it was we handle directly or indirectly.

There is also the opinion that by working at a company, we will gain a life. But keep in mind that the experience we have in our work as an employee of a company is the experience of working in our work environment itself. Meanwhile, life experiences, we always get either an employee of our company or not. And work experience that we get at a company where we work, is usually limited and is always a rehash with spices accompanied modifications here and there. And could be without us knowing it, we become a person who is in a cage that can freely move about.

Back to my niece early this writing, I had asked him
"Are you really enjoy or enjoy the job, whether that's what you want, you should ask yourself the deepest in to be the correct answer. Forget tradition and try to see the other perspective ". This I ask, because without a conscious, though in a joking, he had declared himself as a corporate slave ......

Two weeks later, my niece told me that, after reflection and deep thought, he decided to quit his job. Of course this makes me surprised for a moment. But according to him, his parents were very supportive of what to do. Wise old man.
And he admitted that so far, in fact he was not happy and did not enjoy the job. As a young age, he will try to reflect himself, what to do next. He thought that the possibility to go to college at a higher level, perhaps the best alternative right now for him.

Of course, as my uncle, after a startled moment, I felt proud of my nephew. He is still young it was discovered that he had to get wages according to what he did, and with no clear he enjoys his work did not get the appropriate response. It could be that of "material" or anything else. Obviously he did not enjoy.

What will the rest of my nephew, is the right of his own. He has full freedom to carry on his life experiences.

Does it go back to school, working for companies or maybe he's ready for:

    * Not going back to his boss saying "sorry sir", although the error lies in the work itself superior foolishness.
    * No more begging for a salary increase on the company and are ready to target any "salary" that wants to receive, and act only with permission himself.
    * No longer willing to accept rules that are sometimes irrational, and work more freely
    * Be happy without being employees and establish their own business.

All the answers were of course on my own niece. Only he who knows what is best for him, to be a corporate slave or not ...

The important thing he must do the totality of what he was doing, and enjoying the totality of which he has given.

Are you ready to ask yourself?
