Eye2eye Personal Development Goes For A Walk On the Wilde Side
February 2nd, 2011
Well, I hope that you`ve given some thought to the last couple of week`s posts because this time you and I are going to start building on the foundations that you`ve already decided to put in place. We are going to do this with the help of a word from the Wilde, Oscar Wilde that is.
Many years ago Oscar Wilde said “The aim of life is self development. To realise one`s nature perfectly – THAT is what each of us is here for”. I couldn`t agree more which is why I started this website, to work with people like you who want to realise their potential and to change their situation.
You now need to start building on the work that you`ve done from the other week when you began embedding the phrase `It`s MY life, only I can change it. I CAN DO THIS` into your sub-conscious.
Today we are going to build on it by considering the first of four requirements for change, REALISING that change may be needed.
I can almost hear you saying `that`s ridiculous, it`s obvious that I need to change something`. On the surface I would agree with you but you must look deeper to seek out the REAL, often unconscious reason(s) why change may be necessary. THAT is what I mean by REALISING that change is needed.
There are very few people who can say sincerely that they love every minute of every working day. That they wouldn`t change a thing.
There are many surveys about working life in the Western world showing that workers are un-fulfilled or miserable at work.
Are YOU miserable at work? Ask yourself these questions, you may recognise them because they`ve been annoying you at the back of your mind but perhaps not in this direct way;
ARE YOU; lacking direction, self-confidence or purpose in your life?
WANTING to change career. To start your own business but held back by fears of `failure` or because you are unsure in which direction to go?
FEELING that you are only going through the motions and just drifting?
UNHAPPY with your appearance, want to stop smoking or lose weight?
IS a lack of support from friends, family or colleagues holding you back?
Everyone has an `off` day but if you regularly experience one or more of the emotions described above then this is a good indication that your sub-conscious is trying to tell you something. Making you REALISE that something needs to change.
Once you TRULY realise that something in your life is amiss you should ask yourself the following questions.
1) Draw up a list of five things or situations that you put up with at home but which annoy you.
2) Do the same for your job.
3) Everything has a flip side, a pay off which on the surface makes a situation tolerable. Do you understand YOUR flip side? For example, staying in a dead-end job might be sub-consciously protecting you from a fear of ridicule or failure if you change jobs and it doesn`t work out. How COULD you face people if it didn`t work out?
4) Understand what the mental cost will be if you DON`T do something about it, how will it affect you in the long run?
When you have completed the list, thought things through and fully understand the consequences you MUST take action. Now prioritise.
Decide which item on your toleration list causes the most difficulty and DO something about it. Make a start on the rest of your life and eliminate it. JUST DO IT.
That`s it for now, enough brain ache for one session I think.
