Stuck on Human Suffering?
Many praise thankless work as the right and good way to reach their concept of heaven while depleting their life-given spiritual energy.
If an impaired spouse and endless labor is your vision of a perfect energy draining life and death cycle, turn the page on this leadership tip posting to maintain your tolerating behavior....or....commit to changing the way you live your life. To get started in living a passionate life, here are some questions to ask yourself:
How many people have I tried to energize who were not at all committed to change?
How much time and energy have I wasted on trying to motivate people to get the best out of life, only to discover that they felt fine where they were?
What activities have I promised to participate in, knowing it was going to be a waste of my time and energy?
How many times have I stuck to something even though I had a gut feeling that it was a pointless, no-win situation?
Anytime you put energy into a person or activity without the other person/people committed to the process, you are wasting your energy; more specifically, you're dressing dead people. So, how many dead people have you tried to dress in your life?
Here is a rule of thumb for recognizing that you are putting more energy into a person or situation than is needed: Anytime someone is totally uninterested in your input or what you need from the conversation, relationship or project, you are dressing a dead person.
In a relationship, make sure you get something out of it as well as give something. If you are responsible for a project, make sure you hold the other team members accountable for their part of the project. The best way to do this is to assign tasks for each person and deadlines for completion of those tasks. If you do all the work and they do nothing, you're working with dead people.
At a cellular level, the neurons in our brain act as energy connectors thousands of times every second of our lives. We can take control of that same kind of energy and apply it to affect our lives as a whole. In "I Don't Dress Dead People," author Bob Rausch, Ph.D. tells us how to apply 22 'energy connectors' we need to take advantage of our own personal sources of energy. The more you practice these 22 energy connectors, the more they become a part of your daily life. Mastering these energy connectors will transform you into a fully alive and passionate person.
