YOUR DREAM REALISED (BY OTHERS)

How do you properly and biblically respond to news of others succesfully implementing plans, doing things and going places which so mirror your own aspirations and plans, while you are still (stuck) at step one? The twins Envy and Jealousy I find too often are the duo knocking at my heart's door (like the disturbing Mormons and Jehovah Witnesseses) and I am so tempted to let them in for a chat. Yest my good self says good riddance to the duo, urging me to practise the art of rejoicing over my brother's success and to give myself so many possible good reasons why it's okay to be a failure-in-waiting. Here's to all those who have succeeded first, well done.

LOOKING FOR A JOB

Now I realise how difficult it is to find a job and I may soon have to eat my own comments about those who still can't get a job. How do you start? Where do you start? Who do you see? Hmm, not done this for so long (maybe this the feeling those who after death of spouse or divorce, start dating again; such a bewildering space). They say do what you love and the money will come in. Nah, not really, especially when what you like doing has no paying customers. I have told jobless grads if they can't get a job to go create one. Easier said than done. Okay, enough said. Now to find income generating activities that suits me.

What to do now?

My takeaway after meditating on Jesus' words in Matthew 3:15 What is proper to do now may demand a reversal of roles or doing things differently. It may also be temporary. Now determines who does what. But what to do now ? Do whatsoever is just, fit, requisite in our circumstances. "Observe every divine appointment and honor every divine ordinance" even if you feel unworthy and awkward. As a result, one necessary (required) act in obedience will result in the doer and the recipient being blessed and benefiting richly.

Overcoming Setbacks with Seligman's 3P's

How do you successfully process negative events that hit you in life ? Psychologist Martin Seligman discovered 3P's that STUNT recovery from such events: Personalization - what happened is my fault; realize that bad events aren't entirely your fault. Not everything that happens to you happens because of you. When you blame yourself, you delay recovery. Pervasiveness - this will affect ALL areas of my life; realize bad events don't affect every area of your life Permanence - the aftershocks of this event will last forever; realize hardships won't follow you everywhere forever even though you feel that the debilitating anguish will always be there. When we are suffering, we tend to project it out indefinitely and overestimate how long negative events will affect us. One way to overcome this is to replace "never" and "always" with "sometimes" and "lately". So next time, when the next 'bad'comes, remind yourself ...

I Don't Know What To Do

"I don't know what to do" You may have said or thought this. In my life I have, many times. So what to do when you feel you don't know what to do? An article I read on this matter gave some suggestions: 1. Share yourself to the world. Get out of your own head. Involve other people. Show your work. Get feedback about your thoughts/ideas. 2. Prepare for change. Especially mentally and emotionally. 3. Experiment, a lot.   When you try something new, you don’t have to know what’s going to pay off or what the endgame looks like.
