Whoever was by profession - President of the Corporation or a simple clerk, therapist or seller, is he still able to do a lot to turn his work in calling and become the most happy person. In the words of Amy Wrzesniewski and Jane Dutton, "even in the most regulated and routine occupations workers may in some way affect what is the essence of their work".
In the study, which was conducted Wrzesniewski and Dutton, "experimental" were nurses, one group of which take their work just as the work is boring and meaningless, whereas the other one the same work was perceived as interesting and meaningful. Nurses from the second group is very imaginatively reinterpreted their work. They had a lot of conversations with nurses, patients and visitors and take care that the patients and the hospital staff felt as comfortable as possible. In General, they viewed their work in a broader context and we filled it with meaning: they did not simply remove debris and washed dirty linen, and cared about the well-being of patients and that the hospital functioned as a clock.
The size of our happiness depends more on how we perceive their work than the work itself but yourself. Nurses who are aware of the simple truth that their work to the right people, much happier than physicians who do not feel the importance of their work.
Researchers observed, the same thing happens with the hairdressers, computer scientists, nurses and kitchen workers in the restaurant, when they try to establish meaningful relationships with clients or with other employees of their organization. Scientists have discovered that the same thing is true of engineers: those who considered themselves to be the mentor, the Creator of the team and Builder of human relationships, felt that they contributed to the success of the company, and therefore belonged to the work rather as a vocation than as a duty.
Question: What can you do to your current work has become a source of meaning? What you can change?
In his book "Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance" by Robert M. Jewelry writes: "the Truth is knocking on your door, and you her response: "fuck off, I'm looking for the truth," and it will be removed". Very often we are in an emphasis do not see the richest sources of pleasure and meaning, literally before our eyes - in the work that we do day in and day out. Happiness can be somewhere nearby, but if we hover somewhere in the clouds and notice how it passes by, we risk losing it forever. In order to turn the opportunity into reality, we must first be aware that this opportunity exists.
Happiness depends not on what we do or where we are, and how we all perceive and perception depends entirely on our own choice. There are people unhappy regardless of where they work and if they have a family, and yet they continue to fool ourselves, imagining that the change of external circumstances could affect their inner world.
Rights was Ralph Waldo Emerson: "For people with different device of the soul is one and the same world is either hell or Paradise". The same event is perceived-and therefore experienced different people completely different, and from what we decide to focus our attention, will largely depend, like us or not to do what we do - whether in personal life, in teaching or in the work of. For example, if the investment Manager feels deeply unhappy, he can learn to find meaning in their work and to receive from it pleasure, focusing on the aspects that are enjoyable and meaningful to him personally. However, if he, like most people, will think only about how to earn more money, he hardly ever know what happiness. Just change your perception - and everything will change; this is made clear by the example of many people - hairdressers, medical professionals and engineers. We'll find your treasure, if we possessed him to look.
The famous phrase of hamlet that "there is nothing neither good nor bad; it is thinking makes all those" very much in line with the truth - though not until the end. The fact that in his perception of certain events we can choose what to emphasize, and it plays in our lives such a huge role, does not mean that happiness can be found in any situation. For example, there are people who, no matter how they tried, unable to understand what is the meaning of the investment banking activities, and to receive from it pleasure; the same applies to teaching. Of course, in addition there are also certain circumstances in which it may be people, the inability to quit work, or to leave the family, or to leave the country where it is being marginalized and oppressed, in such circumstances, the opportunity to find happiness becomes extremely problematic. Happiness is equally a product of external and internal conditions derived our choices not only in terms of our practice, but also in regard to the perception of certain events of our lives.
Almost any of us can find a job or occupation that will be it more or less satisfying, and that's the way it usually happens. But, as a rule, this is not the best option. To find his calling, we ought to take advice from my smart student ebony Carter, who once said, "one should Not dwell on what we "can live," it is better to think about, without which we cannot live". We will find your calling, if you learn to listen carefully to your inner voice. His call is the call of our calling.
