Every moment we evolve through
facing what we have chosen.
Our family and work place are two
points which show us our intense karma, where we need to face intense shames
and intense joys. Both these places give us the sense of completion.
Since last few months, my work
place is the point where I am finding myself stuck. Miseries are seeping in,
teasing me to an extent of getting angry, self-blame, self-pity etc.
What is the cause of such misery?
After connecting with the divine,
I got an understanding.
Everything is connected to our
identity. Most of us are victim of Identity Crisis. Our work place gives us an
identity and, when the performance is not to an expectation, we feel that we
are losing our identity.
What is this identity?
As a soul, we have come long way
since our origin unknown. Coming to the physical realm after treading our way
from other realms, we have lost the link with our creator and imbibed the need
of our own identity.
Without our identity, we feel
lost and incomplete.
How does this identity impact us?
At work place, we start defining
ourselves through the situations we handle, the role/designation we have, our
appraisal’s key role areas.
We have self-talks that, if a
certain project, situation, we are unable to execute, meeting with the expected
output, we will be stamped as failure. Our identities will be tarnished thus
unsafe for my growth.
In real sense, we all have an eye
on the end result only, but could not register the growth it contributed to us.
One can recall many incidences where, a specific experience of past became an
asset in the future though, at previous point we failed (as per our
perception).
The motive of this article is not
to advocate the careless and un-accountable attitude towards one’s work, but to
promote, ‘stop blaming self for everything’. Work on the circle of influence
and rest is circle of concern for us. At the end of the day, we must not be
left with a point which we could had done to execute the work in hand.
The crux is…let’s result not define us at the work place…it is the
quality of execution which should be focused. Stop defining ourselves with the situations;
rather we should become the definition of the situation.
It gives lot of peace and reduces
the need of endless chase we are into…
Have a work place free of inner conflict...filled with peace.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Totally agree. Eventually if we accept ourselves for who we are, whatever gets done through us also enhances our self & acceptance of self!
