Stressed out. Worried. Not valued

"We work in environments in which human

values are placed a distant second behind

economic ones. What inspires us to work

hard is ignored"  Michael Leiter, US psychologist.

For many work is not working.

Do you feel there is social value in what you do?

Do you feel what you do makes your positive

difference in the lives of others... adds to their

well being?

Or do you feel a sense of "profound personal

worthlessness" as described by

Piece Johnson Howard, author of

The Owner's Manual for the Brain"?

If you feel what you are working at does not

reflect your highest aspirations or is not aligned

with your values, what can you do?

Here are my  tips:

1. Express what you stand for in a non-accusing way,

explain why and what could be the benefits from what

you stand for. You may have a way at looking at things

that others may not have considered and may find valuable.

2. Be a positive role model. Do not complain. Instead walk

your talk and be true to yourself, your ideals and what you stand

for. You know, your "actions speak a 1,000 words."

Others will be effected.  They can't help it. They pick up the

quality of your energy. If you do not "walk your talk" you become

disappointed in yourself. You lose your integrity, your self-esteme

and your power. Ultimately, you become depressed.

3. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" as you may have heard.

It means you see what you want to see. In every situation and job

there appears to be both the positive and the negative. I said "appears"

because this your interpretation. Look clearly and non-emotionally

at your work situation. Make a list of your work-positives and work-

negatives. Ask yourself, is this where I wish to be?

Is this where I can make my positive difference?

Is this where I can make full use of my natural abilities?

If you can, stay and make your positive mark.

If not, find a work environment where you can.

Never ever forget, where you give your time is where you give your life.

There is no price you can ever be paid that is worth your life. You are priceless!

The world needs you to express the very best of who you are.

Nothing less, and life wants you to be fulfilled, putting your passion into

action and receiving all the rewards that you deserve.

Go for it!

Let me know how you are making your work an expression of the

very best of who you are. Send me your story and I will share with others

to inspire them.
