Laws of Happiness 17:37

3y ago17:37

17:37

What are the things we feel judged about? Have we to comply with societal norms and expectations? Should we not all feel accepted for whoever and however we show up here, regardless of what most people feel is "best?" The Laws of Trust, Honesty, Tolerance, Gentleness, Joy, Defenselessness, Generosity, Patience, Faithfulness, and Open-Mindedness are…

Developing Career Options 20:37

3y ago20:37

20:37

What are your ideas about your best work? What do you decide about those ideas? Do you explore them or do they get stored somewhere inside, as you push them away because you don't have the time, patience, or trust that it's worth pursuing? If you are stuck in a work-life that feels wrong, you do need to pay attention. Listen to the tugs; they are c…

Opening Up to Job Options 20:30

3y ago20:30

20:30

Wayne Dyer once said, "Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change." How do we do that---change the way we look at things? I believe that it all begins with who we are Being...are we leading with self-love, self-respect, self-awareness, and acceptance or are we totally being influenced by external factors? COVID has caused s…

Meet Amber 33:54

3y ago33:54

33:54

Amber didn't get to her happy career spot without some detours, even as she may not characterize it that way. She remained mindful, with every choice she made, of potential options all along her path. She intuitively maintained a "contingency plan" that accompanied every career move. Why? Because she had her eye on a goal...one of satisfaction in a…

Our Social Intelligence 20:02

3y ago20:02

20:02

When you are aware of who you are, it generally leads you to understand your own motivations. That generally results in your awareness of others. So how and why is that important enough to discuss? We are told, often these days, that social intelligence is something that can be developed. The reason we might want to improve in our own level of awar…

Confirmation from the Assessment Process 17:30

3y ago17:30

17:30

Engaging in a self-assessment process can be informative but not in the acquisition of brand new information kind of way. It's more like in the acknowledgment of what we already know, so it's more confirming and validating. We smile in acknowledgment of what is being revealed to us on a report about our personality and interests. And there are resi…

Your Life Philosophy 18:29

3y ago18:29

18:29

Whether we recognize it or not, we each have a philosophy. If we don't see it now, we will acknowledge it one day. And this life investigation leads us to be a certain way, which then leads us to do certain things. It leads us to the work that we choose, the person we decide on for our life partner, and whether or not we procreate. We need to be wh…

Episode 110 – Cultural Issues at the Workplace 16:54

3y ago16:54

16:54

We speak often of the nature of our work. Do we like what we are doing, and if not, why? How can we move into work we enjoy? But there is another aspect to the work we do. There is the leadership and the corporate mission and vision. There are other employees with whom we work each day. These two aspects represent at least fifty percent of the reas…

Having Fun in the Present 19:51

3y ago19:51

19:51

Have we honestly considered taking on our career by remaining open and present to what is and what comes to us? Is there a sweet advantage to adopting this outlook for ourselves? Is this a matter of letting go of judgment about what we "should be and do" and comparing ourselves to others? These are questions that I believe are worthwhile to explore…

Meet Deb 22:00

3y ago22:00

22:00

Speaking with Deb, one gets the impression that there are no big daunting questions about career choice. "Just remain open," she says. The suggestion is not to concern yourself with finding a "career of passion," but rather, be present and evaluate the opportunity when it presents itself to you. Deb definitely seemed to "Go confidently in the direc…

Finding Work You Love 20:22

3y ago20:22

20:22

When we can't identify the work of our dreams, it may be because we haven't been tuning in to ourselves. It may be that we haven't parents or authority figures to provide the kind of feedback that stimulates our unique interests and capabilities. And if we make it all the way to high school graduation without that kind of self-knowledge, perhaps it…

Responsibility for the Energy You Bring 20:34

3y ago20:34

20:34

We have another resource for ensuring that our intention guides us and that is the energy we bring into a situation. Our energy vibrates at a certain frequency and we are responsible for how we show up and influence a particular time and space. So what is the energy you bring and how can you be a positive force for good for yourself and all that is…

Going Beyond the Four Quadrants 19:55

3y ago19:55

19:55

If there are only about 25% of us who choose the most appropriate career path for ourselves, could it be that these are also certain personality types? Are certain personalities more likely to have whatever it takes to be in touch with what is the best path for ourselves? Or is it too serendipitous to make such a correlation? And in thinking about …

Benefits of Understanding Personality 19:37

3y ago19:37

19:37

Does our personality type cause or explain our behavior? Can our behavior be predicted or explained based on how we score on a "personality" test? The simple answer is no. One type is NOT better than another and our type can not explain or predict our behavior. While our "personality style, type or preferences" are formed quite early on in our live…

The Matter of Self-Esteem 19:03

3y ago19:03

19:03

Whether we are selecting the right career path, or choosing the most suitable life partner, it's best that we have a high self-esteem. How we feel about ourselves, how we value ourselves, forms the backdrop for our self-awareness. It also influences our decision-making, so we can understand how feeling positive about our self opens up possibilities…

Patent’s 11 steps to self-empowerment 17:53

3y ago17:53

17:53

Whether we are referring to exercises in emotional intelligence or abiding by universal principles, knowing what we are feeling and embracing what those feelings are here to provide us is key. There is intention in the universe and attending to our feelings, without judgment and rather total acceptance offers us deeper insights into our purpose. Id…

20:58

Arnold Patent's 24 Universal Principles are all about living our best lives. These principles correlate with a show that speaks of achieving personal and professional happiness and success in our personal and professional lives. It's about our perceptions versus the truth; Our separation ideas versus our reality in the oneness that we are. As many …

EQ and ACIM 20:32

3y ago20:32

20:32

All the problems of the world, whether private or public, local or global, can be solved with two resources: emotional intelligence and the teachings in A Course in Miracles. Does that sound outlandish and too bold a statement for you to buy into? Well, consider this: Your EQ will determine your behavior, performance, and decision-making. How we be…

Doing what you Are 17:55

3y ago17:55

17:55

We have been discussing living a purposeful life through being self-aware and identifying our passion through self-awareness. But there's another way to consider how we might live our best lives. How might you respond to the question : Who are you? What are you? What are you really good at? What do other people in your life say about you? If we hav…

Our Psychological Wellness 21:02

3y ago21:02

21:02

Knowing how to maintain our physical health begins very early on in our lives and therefore is familiar to us. We essentially know how to attend to our physical well being. We are also aware of the numerous resources to assist us in the maintenance of our physical health. It's not the same in caring for our psychological well being. We are not alwa…

Knowing Yourself and Mental Health 20:12

3y ago20:12

20:12

We hear the term "mental health" an awful lot lately. What does it really mean to be mentally healthy? Here's what the research says about mental health: It is a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his/her abilities He/she can cope with the normal stressors of life He/she can work productively and fruitfully I can't help but see th…

Learning from Each Other 20:10

3y ago20:10

20:10

It seems every teacher is a continual learner. As they acquire new information, particularly what is pertinent to their teaching, they first assimilate it for themselves and then share the new learning. In other words, they tune in to remain current and relevant. We are all teaching and learning every day, even if and when we are not conscious of i…

Meet Joe Kreuz 24:20

3y ago24:20

24:20

There is an adage: Do what you love and you'll not work a day in your life. Joe Kreuz embodies this better than anyone I know. So how did he manage to do what evades so many of us? Listening to Joe tell his story makes me think that he did a couple of things. First, he paid attention early on; he was definitely self-aware. He had a vision and a mod…

How Emotional Intelligence Can Help Solve the World’s Problems 19:52

3y ago19:52

19:52

Just as intellectual intelligence is known as IQ, so too is the measure of emotional intelligence known as EQ. If we understand exactly what emotional intelligence is, then we also recognize how EQ is part of the answer to solving the world's problems. Consider that each human being is either aware of their emotions and can manage them or they are …

The World Where We Stand 20:18

3+ y ago20:18

20:18

If we sometimes feel overwhelmed by the need for world change, all we need do is take on the challenge right where we stand. It's like the quote by Desmond Tutu who said that "there is only one way to eat an elephant: a bite at a time." Of course, he was not speaking literally, we understand. But he refers to the notion that while things seem daunt…

The Only Way to Live 20:59

3+ y ago20:59

20:59

We are only too aware of polarizing positions in our world. And the reason that we are so aware is that these positions are too present in our lives. While we know this has to change, and we hear it often enough, why is it that we continue to live separated in our positions and critical of what appears to be different. Do we need to be right or wan…

Truth as our Inspiration 19:10

3+ y ago19:10

19:10

It is about doing what we love, loving what we do, and being willing to be one hundred percent honest with ourselves and the world. It's the path to happiness and success. So why aren't we all happy and successful? Why do we have pain and strife in our world? Integrity and love are sister concepts. When we are loving and acting in accordance with o…

21 Points for Success 18:48

18:48

There is a little book called Life's Little Instruction Book that was initially written in 1940. The author is H. Jackson Brown, Jr., and his 21 points have definitely stood the test of time. We review each step here, highlighting the importance of each, and referring back to so many other shows in which we captured the same essence. It's "rules to…

Meet Minnie 34:06

34:06

Minnie's story serves to highlight what so many of us experience. From the lack of career guidance to accepting work that had little or nothing to do with her passion, she speaks powerfully about how she felt and the advice she can deliver as a consequence. Like many, there were sparks of illumination in some of her professional roles. While she di…

Four Killers of Relationship 20:25

3+ y ago20:25

20:25

John Gottman identified relationship barriers as what he referred to as the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse." These are criticism, defensiveness, contempt, and stonewalling. We recognize these as self-protective mechanisms that, in fact, are guaranteed to destroy our relationship. That's because they originate in unresolved pain from our past. Ins…

Reviewing the Interview 17:10

3+ y ago17:10

17:10

You've sent in your resume for a job you feel you can do and are interested in doing. You were invited for a face-to-face interview. All signs point to you being a "fit" to the corporate culture. So, why did you not get the job? It is essential that you prepare ahead of time for a face-to-face interview. It is likewise important to "review" what to…

Shifting after the Pandemic 19:19

3+ y ago19:19

19:19

We were forced to step back. No matter what we did or how much we enjoyed our work, we were given the gift of time away from what we thought we knew, especially in our work lives. It's like the world called a time-out. We drew a collective sigh and breath as we took a deeper look into who we are and what we're up to. How did we or can we use what w…

Influencing Factors in Career Path 16:37

16:37

What are the factors that are at work to influence our career choices? Are we conscious of these influencing factors or not? Whether we are consciously aware of the factors that influence our choices in career path selection or not, they are nonetheless present and at work "behind the scenes" of our life, so to speak. If you are one to have given t…

Being Responsible 18:29

3+ y ago18:29

18:29

Blaming looks externally for the source of our discontent. The problem with that is it assumes you are a victim, not in control of your own happiness. With the understanding that you alone are responsible for your happiness, you look to the self as the source. You are empowered with the knowledge that you are not a victim. In fact, you are clear th…

Blame and Responsibility 16:32

3+ y ago16:32

16:32

While blaming ourselves sounds too much like judgment and criticism, asking ourselves to take responsibility allows us to feel a level of control. We should each know and understand the difference, so we can ensure that we are being kind both to ourselves and to all others. Holding ourselves responsible and accountable is a good thing. It demonstra…

Dreaming Ourselves Awake 17:51

3+ y ago17:51

17:51

What is happening to us here? We have gone from unearthing the horrors of abuse against women to a global pandemic, mixed with highlights of prejudice against people who are different from us. We have been forced to separate, wear masks that hide our kind signals of acceptance (smiles), and socially stand away from one another. We must avoid expres…

Style As A “Need To Know” 19:36

3+ y ago19:36

19:36

Knowing who we are and what we need is key to understanding what is necessary for our career lives and our personal lives, as well. Spending some time in self-analysis allows us to connect with that authenticity and offers us the perfect opportunity to love ourselves for precisely who we are. It also affords us the opportunity to love and accept an…

Continuing with Personality Style 17:59

3+ y ago17:59

17:59

We continue down this road with the value of knowing your personality "type," and being aware enough to appropriately guess another's. Why is that important? Knowing your style and motivational needs for a job interview allows you to stay in authentic communication, as you describe how you're a match in skill, motivation (interests), and culture. H…

Getting To Understand Ourselves 19:53

How do we understand our temperament and what it means in seeking a proper career match? Can it help us to be aware of our needs when it comes to job satisfaction? And what does any of it suggest for my personal happiness? Knowing what motivates us helps us understand our needs and wants. Yes, it clarifies the kinds of job details that meet our uni…

Our Creations 16:30

16:30

As we look out into the world, it's so easy to lament the loss of things we thought we had. For example, I thought we had conquered racism. No, not every single bit of it, but I saw us living peacefully together as one, no longer mired in the horrors that I once saw reported in the news and depicted in movies on the screen. I only knew of it, never…

Which challenge are you most disturbed by right now? Is it the riot that occurred at the Capitol, where a mob mentality resulted in causing devastating damage?

Attitude is Everything 16:26

3+ y ago16:26

16:26

We don't realize how powerful we really are! We think that our lives reflect what others think about us and do to us, but that isn't true. We are in charge of our lives; we are responsible for the results we experience. This is not speculation or theory, it is real and true. And it's great news! Depending on how we respond to good and bad events, w…

A Case in Point 15:25

Many of us enjoy movies with a message. Since it's Christmas time, I was reminded of my own joy in watching old Holiday movies that remind me of valuable life lessons. Two of the best ones, as far as I am concerned, are A Christmas Carol and It's a Wonderful Life. When we first meet George Bailey, the protagonist of It's a Wonderful Life, we can't …

Living and Dying With Regrets 16:54

3+ y ago16:54

16:54

Does everyone live the life that is "intended" for them, even when it doesn't look that way? Or do some of us get that wrong, and have to repeat our lessons in the next life? We often hear it said that the life we have is full of intention. Our purpose is evident in the unfolding of our time here. What happens is prescribed for the unique evolution…

Passion and Purpose 14:56

Passion leads to purpose, so does this mean that if I don't know my passion, there is no purpose to my life? Of course not! Viktor Frankl wrote, " Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose." This is a reminder that no matter what our life circumstance is, we will be okay, but if we fail to be and do wha…

Mark Twain said "The two most important days in your life is the day you were born and the day you find out why." You came here for a purpose. It's your job to discover that purpose.

The True Versus the False Self 14:28

3+ y ago14:28

14:28

Why is it important to know and understand the difference between the true and the false self? Do we all have both and how can we live in alignment with our true selves? Our false self is nothing more than our body and all that is connected to our ego structures. I call it our name, rank, and serial number. That's who most of us, at least for a tim…

Asking the Right Question 13:59

3+ y ago13:59

13:59

Maybe instead of asking ourselves what we want to DO for a living, we ought to ask what we want to BE. That's a much more pointed question and could get us at the "right answer" quicker than expecting us to know what we want to DO in choosing a suitable career path. Doing is activity; being is a state of identity. The dictionary states that "being …
