Responsibility Embrace Freedom


John and his colleague wanted to come to a conclusion in a meeting. They were facing issues dealing with someone who may potentially destroy their company culture and career. It was a heated discussion.

During the heated discussion, they made personal remarks that hurt both of them “Keep relationships with people on your own responsibility, each one of us has a white beard now”. Because they both like each other so much it hurts both of them.

John was definitely hurt; he was the one who received this comment. He was wise enough to sleep over it. The next morning, John realized how much he was dependent on his colleagues to make decisions if they should keep relations with an individual or not to keep their interests safe. 

John learned that he should accept his individual responsibility for building and maintaining relations with the people. He begins to experience mixed feelings of hurt and of being thankful to his colleague for waking him up. He thought “Perhaps it is needed to embrace my freedom from dependency”.

As the day is about to over John is more focused on his responsibilities. Instead of relying on others, he makes his decisions to set and complete the urgent tasks at hand.

John thanked his colleague for awakening, and realised “accepting the responsibility is the big leap towards attaining real freedom from dependency”.

Let me know in the comments, what you do to remind yourself of your responsibilities.

Till next time J

Regular Breaks Increase Productivity By an Extra Twenty-Five Percent

I was sitting in my office and working on my present goal. I worked hard to meet my deadline and wanted to complete the task without straining myself physically and mentally. I was so indulged in my work that I forgot to take care of myself and ignore my body pain, my fingers and arms were hurting. My arms were swollen, my eyes were dried up, my brain could not think more and I heard a voice from within shout at me “Stop”. So, I did and ended up in rest for a week. While resting, I begin to trace back my successful days at work. I used to work in the chunk of 45 minutes at a time and then break for 10 minutes. Regular breaks help me to restore my energy and give relief to my eyes, and rest to my arms. Most importantly my brain got relief from constant focus. By repeating it I was able to complete my task easily on time and with more precision. I realized; that it is good to learn from our past success. By repeating our successful habits, we can create more success. I wonder wha...

Priorities In Sequence Make it Easier

John thinks of achieving his goal. He is clear about what he wants and knows what steps he needs to take to complete the goal. Life is hard on him. He has so many tasks at hand that need his attention. Regardless of how badly he wishes to complete his goal. Those tasks pull him into the whirlpool of their circumstances. The more he engages in those tasks the more un-satisfaction he experience. He decided to schedule an appointment with his coach. In the session, they devise the strategy John agrees to implement. “John made a list of each task. Organise each task according to their priority. Now his sequence of tasks is ready to implement”. He immediately launched his first priority and got it done within 3 hrs. He is satisfied with his work. He looks forward to the next one. Let me know in the comments how you deal with the load :)
