The Most Important Job You Need to Do

in #life6 years ago (edited)

Its quite interesting that the crucial job you should be doing is one that no one will notice, there is no way that they could, you could even say that it's also the the job that should never end, should never be completely done.

The journey of becoming the best that you can be, the path that leads you to attracting the right kind of people to your side, real friendships, healthy relationships and effective partnerships, starts by taking the time to know yourself, it starts with being comfortable with your needs and wants and having a clear idea of the things you don't want in your life.

One of my favorite quotes comes from a Philosopher from a different time, but yet his words are as true now as they have ever been.

"Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you" - Ralph Waldo Emerson

As much as the quote seems simple many of us avoid time with ourselves, attempt to find distractions as much as possible as to not think of the most important things, the most pressing matters in our life.

Where am I? Where do I want to be? should be questions we ask ourselves daily and when you realize, when this truth finally clicks in, that you are responsible for where you are in your life, when you stop blaming your current situation to circumstances and understand that you are not powerless, that is when change starts to happen.

Hope everyone is having a beautiful Sunday...

Success to you all

Great Posting. Thanks

The best thing that a man can do to his life is to follow and obey the ONE Who created him for this is the whole duty of man.

According to my Jesuit instruction, Christianity is one of the most powerful religions of individualism.

Wow. I've felt that but have never been able to put it like that. Yet I still sin, sin, sin and and am forgiven, forgiven...thank you for that post.

I m 100% agree with your opinion.

very well said

Beautiful .. yes fact
We should be grateful for the opportunities of life
Thanks for sharing tips with us

Love a bit of Sunday night inspiration :-)

Thanks for sharing

I agree - a Sunday inspiration to set your mind ready for a new week. I find this inspiration so helpful because so many of us work so hard to find riches. Not understanding that if you find riches and have not worked on yourself, you will lose it faster than the time it took to build it. Lottery winners can attest to this. So one should always be working on oneself so that we will find wealth and keep it for life. Thanks for sharing.

@jackie2017 I so much love this part "Not understanding that if you find riches and have not worked on yourself, you will lose it faster than the time it took to build it".
People are quick to work get rich but hate to work on themselves to bring out virtues that will sustain the wealth.
@ chbartist Thanks for the post. Though I'm reading it on a Monday, I'm sure it will help my week.

it is totally true, you are the best guide of your life, the owner of your thoughts and feelings, you only owe your goal, what you are passionate about, what you want and what you really need, focus and put your heart into it, happy sunday

Simple truth here and very important to realize this. Thanks for this post, sometimes a few well-put-together words like this can really make a difference in a person's perspective.
Promoting positivity and being true to ourselves is definitely needed in today's world. Thanks! See you around :)

Never runaway from the situation, or think what if. Adapt in the situation, because you might be privileged to have a situation like that,and another might not be. Have a cool mind, I am sure then anyone can tackle any kind of situation :-)

agreed with you , best post i have seen ever thanks alot #positive thinking

Damn it's hard to spend time with yourself these days. Instagram, SnapChat, Amazon, emails, ESPN, Spotify, Groupon..the list goes onnnnnn. Shit, not to mention just hanging out with friends and family. Hyper connectivity and consumerism won't stop, those machines don't want you to spend time with yourself and find out who YOU REALLY ARE, cause if you did take a moment to look inside, you would most likely find that not everything is what it seems. You will find what @chbartist is referring to in this post, that life can be SO MUCH MORE when you take the time to really get to know yourself.

Great post man.

@mandogbeard just love ur facetious reply ... hahah haha hahahaha :D

SM platforms are designed to be addictive; dings, notifications, popups ... small doses of an action, done enough times becomes addictive, like toking or drinking!! :O

Technology is good if we use it effectively, however when technology consumes us, that's when we need 2 break the habit and for many, tis hard 2 break a habit

thank you for a nice article about the difficulty of life @ Chbartist
