8 hours ago I was in a hiring call
She had a ‘trauma’ with a previous company
She was part of a sudden Mass Layoff
She asked me: “How certain are you this job is long-term stable?”
What she really wanted to know:
How can I prevent myself from feeling so bad again?
You see?
Every business problem is in fact a mind problem
It all starts and ends with the mind
So my question to her:
“How great would it be if suddenly getting laid off did not affect you?”
The average individual may stop reading here…
What I am about to write next is too complex, too different, just too much to digest
To the serious individual who thinks for oneself:
“How could you stay perfectly still just like the trunk of a tree, during the biggest storm it has ever seen?”
Mass Layoffs = Storm
Trunk of the Tree = Could be You
You know what is interesting about trees?
The further from its roots, the more it moves by external influences
The closer to its roots, the more still it is
Aren’t we humans the same?
The closer we get to our roots
The closer we get to when we were in the womb
The more still we were
The more peace we had
Unshaken while everyone around us including our mother was moving
Isn’t that why we cry when we come out?
So disturbed from the peace we once had…
How can we obtain this peace again EVEN IF you suddenly get laid off?
How can we obtain peace at all times?
Isn’t that the real question?
The one who can realize what I will say next, is the only one tho whom this is possible
NOTHING HAS SIGNIFICANCE
Don’t you see that your life is nothing more than a series of a few very positive & negative events glued together?
Have you ever felt at peace for 3 consecutive days the last 15 years?
You are so distracted that you never sat down and asked these questions…
Always airpods in… Always music on… Always phone with you… Always talking when having dinner
Can’t you be SILENT and just think for a moment?
Or better said, not think for a moment?
Next time when you have dinner, I suggest that the serious person reading this ask him/herself:
“What is it that I don’t know about life, that caused me to feel this constant rise and fall of positive/negative emotions throughout all my life?”
The one who seriously wants to know is the one to who it is possible to be unshaken by any external event including MASS LAYOFFS
Nothing
Has
Significance
Do you realize this?
Talk soon
