Isn’t it true?
🤝 🙏 This was the message that i gave during my talk to 300 HR Leaders – Discussing about the Future of Work, Workers & Workplace, covering HOT TOPICS like the Convergence into the #Metaverse & the #GreatResignation
Everything ‘External’ that happens to us, has a ‘Meaning’ tied to it. The thing is, it is us who give it, its ‘Meaning’ to us.
Yes – Something bad, horrible & negative may have happened to us. Sure! We are going to feel the negativity that, that incident had caused us for a while.
But… The Truth is… HOW LONG do we want to Feel Down & Out? Will it change anything?
Supposedly, if nothing can be changed… Well, WHY NOT – We give it another ‘Meaning.’
Perhaps, it is time to ask ourselves:
🤔 What Lessons is that Incident trying to Teach Us?
🤔 What did I Discover about Myself?
🤔 What did I Discover about My World View?
🤔 How can I be Smarter about It, in the Future?
You See… The TRUTH is – All the Negative Things that happened in our lives, became ‘Negative’ BECAUSE, we least expected it… Or we expected abit too much…
So manage our expectations…
🦵 🦴 Back in January 2020, i dislocated my left knee for the 2nd time. The feeling was negative. I wanted to blame others, though no one pushed me. I just fell & dislocated it myself. I wanted to blame God. Anyone else but me.
But after that feeling of ‘Acceptance’ sank in, whilst knowing that there was nothing much i could do, rather than heal up – I decided to ACCEPT THE INDIFFERENCE.
I did my seminars & trainings in a wheelchair. I will be wheeled around the halls & my classes for a good few weeks.
👨🏻🦽 GUESS WHAT – I became KNOWN as the Trainer & Consultant who was so COMMITTED to his job, that i will deliver my learning sessions despite being in a WHEEL CHAIR.
My pictures of me doing the trainings were circulated – With my participants calling me the ‘Trainer On the Wheelchair’ for a good few weeks.
YES – I didn’t like what had happened to me. BUT IT HAPPENED. Now, it is OUR TURN to give it a NEW MEANING & to Deal with It, with Stride!
