Being Independent Minded, Vol. 457
Since this is July 4th week, I believe it is a great time to think about what it means to be an independent thinker. Why is this important now? Because there are too many people out there who are doing all the things that they feel they ‘have to do” or “should do” in order to ‘fit in’ with the rest of society.
Do you realize that over 80% of working Americans have little to no interest in what their companies do? And, that 70% of all American workers don’t like their jobs? This is a deplorable situation.
Being in the world of health care for over 35 years I can speak to the manner in which people are paid very low salaries to do caretaking roles in home health care, as certified nursing assistants, as mental health counselors and today, even doctors and nurses are finding it hard to make a living good enough to pay for their educations.
We hear almost every day of how people are being laid off with yet another merger or acquisition because there is too much overlap in the personnel. Or, perhaps the company decides to move to a distant local, leaving many employees without jobs, moving being out of the question for them.
When I meet teenagers and college age kids, I tell them that their best bet is to learn everything that they can about marketing and sales, particularly online, so they can build their own businesses, without having to feel that some boss is going to tell them that layoffs are coming.
It’s not easy working for one’s self, bringing in sales, to make a living, but it is a lot easier to make this happen if one understands the technology of today and the art of sales and marketing. Unfortunately, I never had such training in school or in any of the professional training I did, which made things more difficult than need be. However, sadly this is true for most every practitioner out there. We learn how to help people, and the business of doing business isn’t ever taught.
That being said, I would never, ever want to work for another person again. I have had so many clients, friends, and even family members who have been treated as if they were garbage. This even after being of service to the same company for 19 or 20 years. One has to ask the question as to why there is so little respect, care or interest in the health and wellbeing of the employees? I don’t have an adequate answer to that question. However, what I do know, is that we were all put here on this earth to do amazing things using our talents, interests, and education.
I was speaking to a neighbor earlier today, explaining the weird lifestyle that I live, always moving around, yet having been able to see the world while being a part of miraculous healing. Working with amazing professionals who truly understand what it means to “be of service.”
I wouldn’t give that up for anything.
This woman told me that I was an “original” which is true enough. She went on to tell me to continue doing the good work that I am.
Well, it’s is always great to get positive feedback while explaining the work one does. However, it is even better to feel the fulfillment that comes from doing what your ‘inner wisdom’ or what we in the hypnotic community would call “the subconscious, unconscious mind” tells you is your purpose, you calling, your reason for being.
I challenge you to really get quiet and listen to that inner voice in the back of your head. You know that one that you have been ignoring all these years, being practical. Listen to what it tells you and get aligned with that, because then you will understand what being “independent-minded” really is, bringing you so much better health, well-being and inner peace.
