“How people treat you is their karma.  How you react is yours.” Wayne Dyer

One powerful antidote to cynicism may lie in working to improve your relationships through offering a civil approach toward others.  Civility is the opposite of cynicism.  And although we cannot ultimately control how others will treat or react to us, we can control how we treat and react to others.  It’s all about respectful interaction with others – whether or not we agree with them, their ideas or approaches.

If others are treating you badly and you react with more bad behavior (arguing, insults, finger-pointing, etc.) then you are bringing that energy to life in your life.  If others treat you badly and you react with belonging, nurturing, or respect/esteem – you are brining that energy into your life.

I read somewhere that negative energy directed at you is a call for help from you – it’s your love/care/concern/help that can make the difference for the person who is in pain and misdirecting their upset at you.  Refusing a call for help is living your life in agreement that you are not deserving of help unless you behave a certain way – and that is nonsense – we all deserve grace.  Underserved favor (or help) is grace.  We experience it best when we offer it to another.

Favor an experience of grace vs. an experience of anger/fear/arguing, etc.

“The outer work can never be small if the inner work is great.  And the outer work can never be great if the inner work is small.”  Meister Eckhart

We constantly project what we are feeling inside to our external circumstances.  We simply are the writer, director, producer, casting agent and star of our daily lives.  This includes what we experience through our work.  Work on making you the greatest self you can be and watch your experience of your work (this includes the people you interact with) shift to something greater – something more meaningful.

If you are feeling bored with your work ask yourself:

“Happiness is the joy you feel while striving for your potential.”  The ancient Greeks’ definition of happiness

Happiness is experienced in fleeting moments.  Positive psychology research has found that only 10% of our long-term levels of happiness come from external factors (i.e. what others do for us), and 90% comes from how we process the world we find ourselves in.

It’s easy for us to notice (and eventually become) anything we decide to immerse  ourselves in.  Immerse yourself in what fills your energy – follow your bliss as they say.  But then apply purpose to that (and gratitude for that) experience – honor that blissful experience by being strong in that state even in presence of a counter state you may be witnessing from others.

Process the world your find yourself in through the filter of your chosen state of being.  For example, with happiness as my chose state of being this year, my mantra will be “how can I bring the power of happiness to this moment?”  For me that will look like helping myself and others to focus on how what their experiencing (good or bad) may be related to their greater development.

I believe that the moment we see purpose for anything (especially seemingly “bad” things we may have experienced) – it instantly ushers in feelings of joy, connection with a sense of purpose and a sense of trust that everything will be (more than) ok.

“I prefer to come to work each day and just see what develops.”  Donald J. Trump

I love this spirit of being open to opportunity.  Having a day planned with activities (your HOW ideas) that keep you in alignment with your goals and values (your WHAT ideas) is great – but always leave room for the Universe to reveal HOW opportunities you couldn’t have imagined or anticipated to show up – and then take advantage of them over your HOW plans for the day.

Your HOW ideas are never better than what the Universe will put in front of you every day!   You are on the hook for WHAT to accomplish and to act on opportunities that bring you closer to manifesting your WHAT ideas – you are not on the hook for all the HOW ideas – delegate most of the HOW to the Universe.

Check me out as I am interviewed on the importance of knowing your values as the first step in making a career choice.
