Orb Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 As this is the celebration section of the forum, I thought it'd be nice to give myself a lil pat on the back and celebrate having a great day at work. This one day of good work is enough for a celebration! Lessons I've Learned: -It feels good to help people and make things easier, making things easier for others means making my own life easier. -I dont think theres any such thing as truly working for yourself even if youre an entrepreneur, the real joy in all work is to put your energy towards helping others. -Waiting for a Life Purpose to arise is a waste of time, Life is my Purpose, and paradoxically whatever deep calling I have within me comes more easily when I am already working passionately right now. -How we work is who we are in the workplace. Work half-assed and youre a half-assed unreliable employee, work like youre a boss and you are already a leader in whatever company/business youre working in. (Not Boss as in ruling over others or being a superior, but having that deep care for your work, the same way a good boss really cares about the work.) -It feels good to treat all my coworkers like people and genuinely be nice, not the BS corporate kindness, but really nice (I work for a bank). Appreciation is a win-win, feels good for the giver, and the receiver! Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment. Neither do I remain where no enlightenment exists. Since I linger in neither condition, eyes cannot see me. If hundreds of birds strew my path with flowers, such praise would be meaningless." - A Comment on the 8th Ox Herding Picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orb Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 @Faith @Phil Thanks for the love! Definitely an eye opening day for me as I now see from my own experience that it's possible to work this way. Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation.

LovingPresence Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Real leadership💙 Imo, this way of working/living bears the most fruits, for others but also for you! Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orb Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 @LovingPresence imagine if we all did it this way 😃. Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation.

Orb Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 @LovingPresence that's where we are headed! I'd say globally we are living in a middle point, we have lots of technology but we are still figuring out how to just be happy and use all this technological stuff consciously.

Your welcome! 😊 I can definitely appreciate the positivity in your post and it's good to be able to be nice at work. I'm nice, but I have boundries. If the boundries get trampled...I'm not as nice anymore. 😂 Quote Mention You're a thought. Do you think a thought is going to occupy 'no thought'.

LovingPresence Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) @OrbYes, that‘s why this work is so fundamental. Without love, truth and compassion, development in the field of technology or every other area doesn‘t mean anything.

Orb Posted April 1, 2022 Author Share Posted April 1, 2022 @Faith I think it's fine to set boundaries, it's all about fine tuning communication to always have a little love sprinkled into it. @LovingPresence that's pretty much spot on, we ARE the benevolent aliens! We are just slowly waking up together, pleasure to be born in this time 🙏. Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment.

Orb Posted April 1, 2022 Author Share Posted April 1, 2022 @Faith no problem, I've learned this very recently, when communicating with others, we leave a lil bit of that love in our words. If they catch the love, they're infected ❤🙂. Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment. Neither do I remain where no enlightenment exists.

Faith Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 @Orb I will say, my direct boss is one of the nicest ppl I think Ive ever met! She makes it all worth it. I work from home now, so the positive connections mean a lot. Quote Mention You're a thought. Do you think a thought is going to occupy 'no thought'.

Orb Posted April 1, 2022 Author Share Posted April 1, 2022 @Faith that's so nice, I'm sure it's encouraging to work in a place with such nice people. When people are nice to us, its a chance for us to remember we are the source of that kindness. Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment.

Faith Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 @Orb Off topic- I think I might name my next cat "Orb". I love calling my cat by a ton of names. There's so many nicknames for Orb there's Orbs, Orbie, Orbert, Orbit! 🤣 Quote Mention You're a thought. Do you think a thought is going to occupy 'no thought'.

Orb Posted April 1, 2022 Author Share Posted April 1, 2022 @Faith Orb does sound nice, its a simple name too. I plan on getting cats in the future, I'm gonna name them Adam and Eve 😅.

Haha 😄 Yeah, I love cats. I only have 1 right now, but when I did home health nursing in the field, the patient's cat's would flock to me and lay all over me during the visits. Some started calling me the cat lady or cat whisperer. Lol. I had a friend who had a dog named Fred and a cat named Wilma (For the Flinstones). Quote Mention You're a thought.
