Transform my career - 03 Nov 2020 09:39

Tags:

[[html]]
Nowadays, just doing your job is not enough. An opportunity for advancement is far from certain, as companies always try to get by with fewer employees and to be more competitive. To get to the top,
<a href="https://mindwolves.com/2017/10/29/lifelong-coachability/">Transform my life</a> you have to take the reins of your career in your own hands.
 
As I wrote in the article “ I live MY life ”, it is important to emphasize in this article how important it is in life to take the initiative. Unfortunately, many people wait every day for happiness to fall into their lap. But unfortunately that only happens in fairy tales. In real life: "If you want something, you have to get it!"
 
Here are ten ways to create <a href="https://mindwolves.com/2017/10/29/lifelong-coachability/">
Transform my career</a> opportunities for yourself:  
 
Develop your own vision
The really big things in life always start with a vision. A vision begins as a "feeling" for what you want to do with your life. At first, it might just be a faint impression, fleeting image, or imagination based on the life of someone you admire. Wherever your inspiration comes from, visions are a start. Write them down on paper - a sketch, a note, or maybe even a story.
 
Turn your vision into goals
What has to happen for your vision to become a reality one day? It's simple: write down five or six goals that will make them come true. With this list, you won't be limited to just one course forever. Your vision, as well as your goals, are very likely to change and evolve once you pay more attention to them. Your vision and your life are moving goals, and today that is of the utmost importance to survival. Adaptability is much more likely to lead to success than stubbornness.
 
Develop a vision for your company
If your employer already has a company vision and it's available, then take a close look at it. Does it align with your vision and the path you want to go? Is it in line with company policy and practice? Is the company vision very different from the one you have planned for your career? Compare your and the company's future vision. Can you work in this company and achieve your goals? If not, your long-term plan needs to be to make other arrangements outside of the company. Otherwise points 4 to 10 will not work 100%.
 
Make high demands on yourself
The words "to yourself" are crucial here. So many people adjust their own requirements to others or to their work environment. If you think your employer is fair, you make high demands on yourself. However, if the employer appears stingy, greedy or unfair to you, then lower your requirements because you think: "The employer doesn't deserve a better job from me."
 
If you have fallen into this trap, please remember that you are only harming yourself. Doing less than your best means that your "best" will deteriorate until you can no longer distinguish mediocrity from excellence. The "content" of your requirements is up to you.
 
Here are a few examples you might want to consider: “Always be there ten minutes before you start work”, “Only do accurate, high quality work”, “Treat everyone with respect (emphasis on everyone!)”, “Act consciously, but behave unobtrusively ”,“ Only distribute constructive criticism ”. The possibilities are endless, but the point is that in the end you will be recognized by the standards you adhere to, not the ones you just speak of.
 
Deepen your knowledge of your industry and your company
The more you know about the industry, the market and the work environment, the better prepared you will be to make smart professional decisions. The basic knowledge you develop is like a library that you can refer to again and again when you are confronted with important decisions.

purpose driven life - 03 Nov 2020 09:38

Tags:

[[html]]
Today I would like to share an exercise that I  learned during my Creative Leadership training
<a href="https://mindwolves.com/2020/07/26/your-career-is-a-ministry-when/">purpose driven life</a> and went through myself.
 
This 5-minute thought exercise will help you <a href="https://mindwolves.com/2020/07/26/your-career-is-a-ministry-when/">live your life on purpose</a> define your purpose.
 
Over the course of a lifetime, we spend an average of 92,000 hours at work. A growing body of research 
suggests that it is better for us and our employers when we work on something that fulfills us.
 
There is research showing that purpose-driven companies perform better in the marketplace, and studies have shown that people with a sense of importance have a 15% lower risk of death regardless of their age.
 
Other studies  show that purpose-oriented employees are more likely to perform better and to be more fulfilled at work.
 
So far, so well known? Did you know that? For real?
 
So what can you do to make your work more meaningful?
 
First of all, it makes sense to get people to think about where they find the greatest importance in their life and within their work, where they are currently working and where they want to be working in the future. The following exercise can help you with this.
 
To get started, grab a pen and paper and capture your answers in a few sentences or with simple sketches.
 
Step 1: seek passion
When was the last time you felt meaning?
 
If you want to find your "purpose", look at the past. Just project it into the future or imagine how that sense could show itself. Where has your mind already appeared?
 
Thinking about the moments that you are most proud of, whether at work or in your personal life. These aren't necessarily your biggest gains, but the things you've done have made you feel good. What did you do? When have you been your best personally or professionally? Name and sketch a moment (e.g. projects, scenarios) in which you, your team or your organization shone the brightest.
 
Step 2: Finding People
Who did you serve
 
The most powerful purpose is often serving others - people outside your own walls, such as your customers, your community, or society at large. As you look back on your meaningful moments personally or professionally, when did you work to help, support?
 
Step 3: Finding the Impact
What influence did they have?
 
When you look at the people you supported, what impact did you have on their lives? How did they benefit from your work? Also ask yourself what impact you want to achieve. And how do you want to improve people's lives?
 
Step 4: the essence
Why do you exist
 
Now bring your notes from the first three exercises together into a simple "purpose". Imagine the impact you would like to have in the future.

what would Jesus do - 03 Nov 2020 09:37

Tags:

[[html]]
The ethics of Jesus feed on the one hand from the Old Testament law, <a href="https://mindwolves.com/2018/02/18/the-battle-of-the-mind-part-2/">
what would Jesus do</a> which he does not want to abolish but rather to fulfill (Mt 5:17). This is especially true for the demands of the Decalogue, for love for one's neighbor and for the golden rule (Mt 7:12).
 
In some central points, however, Jesus stands out from the ethics of the Old Testament: He questions the temple cult and rejects the cultic purity regulations; "It is not that which enters a person from outside that can make him unclean, but what comes out of a person makes him unclean" (Mk 7:15).
 
Jesus also disregards the Sabbath regulations when human welfare is threatened. The ethics of Jesus can be read most clearly in the demands of the Sermon on the Mount (Mt 5-7). In addition to the well-known Beatitudes, there are numerous ethical instructions in the Sermon on the Mount, whose radicalism still stirs us today.
 
All these postulates culminate in the demand for love of one's enemies, with which Jesus wants to strive to overcome all contradictions. In the kingdom of the beginning of God's rule, a basis of trust must be established because there are no longer any limits to human coexistence before God. Jesus extends a specific invitation to all who suffer from the heavy yoke of the high requirements imposed on them by the official religious authorities. To those who are depressed and depressed because, with their life story, they can no longer calculate any chance of coming to terms with God, in a clear differentiation from the pedagogy of hardship (Mt 11:28 f).
 
Article 2
The basic intention of Jesus - Sermon on the Mount
 
A good, just, whole and reconciled life for people.
 
 "God wants the salvation of all people." (Roman Siebenrock)
 
In this sense he comes as the Redeemer and Savior sent by the Father.
 
As a result, he takes sides with those who do not have this life: the poor, the sick, the unjustly treated, the sad who live in war and enmity.
 
This finds expression in his words, in his actions, in his healings as well as in the establishment of fellowship.Inevitably, his message and his life come into conflict with those in power.
 
Jesus embodies the unity of ideas, speech and action and credibility.
 
I am always next to those who are in need.Enemy love as the most radical form of the commandment of love

how to find your calling from God - 03 Nov 2020 09:35

Tags:

[[html]]
God's special call is extremely rare - and is not based on our will and our self-assessment. Why one can only experience vocations but not seek them.
 
Find your calling! <a href="https://mindwolves.com/holy-grail/">how to find your calling from God</a>
 This sentence can be found in this or a similar form on countless book covers, also and especially in the area of Christian counseling literature. The authors call on their readers to search for God's calling for their own life and give them the tools they need to do so. Usually these are questionnaires and tests for self-assessment, especially on one's own talents and preferences. Are you more of an introvert or an extrovert? Do you make decisions with your head or your gut? Would you rather design the website or set up the stage for an event? If you have filled out everything correctly, you will receive your result and thus your calling at the same time. Causa finita.
 
Vocation has nothing to do with strengths and talents
One is inclined to ask: Have these authors read a real vocation story? Maybe in the Scriptures? Of course this would be a rhetorical question because if they did they would have noticed some things.
 
1. The callingof a person is just not based on their strengths and talents. The fact that our Lord chose fickle Peter as the rock of his church would otherwise have to be punished as a case of gross negligence. But it was not flesh and blood that gave Peter the decisive insight. The matter is clearer in the Old Testament. Usually the first reaction of the appointee is a rejection of their own incapacity. Moses declares he is not a good speaker, Jeremiah interjects that he is too young, and so on. Imagine if one of these two tried to determine his calling using a self-assessment test. Even more, however, the appointment is not based on the personal preferences and interests of the person called. Who would want to to proclaim the wrath of God to one's own people or to take on the world power Egypt? If the corresponding procedure corresponded to one's own wishes, God would not even have to call the person in the first place, since sooner or later he would do it himself. This leads to the next point.
 
Callings are extremely rare
2. The called did not ask for their calling, let alone actively search for it. This can be found most impressively in the book of Jonah. The very first sentence of the story is significant. “The word of the Lord came to Jonah.” So the story begins. Not with “Jonah asked God for a calling” or “Jonah filled out a questionnaire”. The calling Word of God just happens, without request, without warning. The call comes from outside, not inside. And as is well known, Jona's reaction is not exactly evidence of great enthusiasm. He tries to flee from God's call, and only through profound measures can he be persuaded to go to Nineveh to announce God's judgment on the city. A professor against a whole metropolis. That brings us to our last point.
 
3. Vocations are extremely rare. Only the modern mania for equality, which has lost all sense of the sacred and the outstanding, could conceive the idea that every person receives a personal calling from God. But when you consider the actual nature of a calling, there is no reason to be annoyed about the low probability of one. Let's face it, most of us have more than enough to do with our uncalled lives.

7 rules for more assertiveness
In this way <a href="https://mindwolves.com/2017/06/22/calm-assertive-energy/">how to be calm and assertive</a> you become assertive without denying yourself
 
 
We all want to achieve our goals, and do so in the most authentic way. So always be yourself. Still, I'll give you a few tricks on how you can become assertive - in a sometimes harsh working environment.
 
Tip 1: Be clear and authentic!
Nothing is more annoying than people who sometimes talk like that. They are not tangible and often just irritating. In order to be able to achieve your goals, you should definitely be one thing: clear. Send your messages out in such a way that as many as possible understand them. Just leave out phrases like "It can be". And always stick to a polite tone that shows respect for others. Achieving goals is more than achieving goals - it's a game too
 
Tip 2: lay the foundations - who is what in the company?
Nobody works in a vacuum, especially not in the office. If you want to be assertive, you should first get some orientation. Who is what, who is important and assertive? Once you have recognized this, you will have the right people at hand, whom you can bring on board if you want to achieve your goals. Colleagues don't have to be friends, but they do have to be allies.
 
Tip 3: Find really good arguments - for yourself and for others
If you are convinced of a project yourself, you have already achieved a lot. Now it's time to convince others too. You are only able to assert yourself if you involve others and also think about their goals. Your task now is to look for arguments why they benefit your project. Find and name. It's a bit of work, but important. Because it feels really good when the others say “Great, we'll do that!”.
 
Tip 4: Use the fine art of diplomacy
Diplomacy may sound a bit high, but it also serves you in everyday life when it comes to being assertive. So you should never run into the wall like the bull, terrorize everyone around you. Rather, you should try to pick everyone up where they are and to advertise your cause through a gentle form of conviction . In the end, nobody will be able to resist you. The diplomat is the secret winner, she is subtly assertive!
 
Tip 5: Learn what makes men tick
It is common knowledge that men come from Mars and women from Venus;). But this is also another chance, because a "Martian" really works differently than you, he takes other things seriously and important than you. You should first accept that, then you can start doing field research. How do men behave in a conflict, what makes them assertive? Is it the pitch, the ignoring of others, is it rhetorical means with which they keep the word? Watch the boys closely, we can learn a lot from that. As decision-makers, the masters of creation are often important players, so get to know them better in their reactions - and vanities.
 
Being assertive is important, but there are other things waiting for you - friends, family members (nice ones!), Art, cinema, theater, great books, nature, so-called life, in short. Always make this clear to yourself: the job is the job - but there is so much besides !! Don't let conflicts in the office spoil your life. Every now and then I have a “Today I don't care about my job” evening. Then it's off to dancing, having fun, going to the cinema, flirting or touring the surrounding area. So, in short, your life is not at stake if you are at odds with colleague Meyer. Look at him and the conflict from above, from above, from where the planes are - do you see how small everything suddenly is?

self sacrificing love - 03 Nov 2020 09:32

Tags:

[[html]]
We begin to take full responsibility for our actions
Not only in my practice, <a href="https://mindwolves.com/2018/01/14/self-sacrificing-love/">self sacrificing love</a> but also with friends and even with couples in public, a relationship phenomenon can be observed again and again: the perpetrator-victim constellation. Both partners feel like "victims". One because his partner has narcissistic traits, for example, the other because his counterpart is too clingy. In short,
<a href="https://mindwolves.com/2018/01/14/self-sacrificing-love/">sacrificing love</a> both see themselves as victims, looking to blame the partner or the “perpetrator”.
 
This perpetrator-victim constellation worked well for a very long time, but now it is shaking. Whether it's the current time, people's awareness, Corona or something else, we or I can only guess. But what I can say with great certainty is that this concept is being shaken vigorously and a new one is emerging. One in which we no longer see ourselves as victims, but as creators of our reality and thus our world. One where we take full responsibility for our lives - for better or for worse. This may sound very spiritual, but it isn't. This concept is much more down to earth and tangible than we think.
 
 
How self-love can also strengthen our relationships
 
Give up old thought patterns and heal emotional wounds through self-love
Let's stay with the relationship example. Each of us has the opportunity to end a partnership if it is no longer good for us. I'm not saying it's easy, but we can do it. The fact that we often find hundreds of reasons why it doesn't work is another matter. But if we break down all the aspects that we like to use as excuses, we will see that we have a choice. Of course, we may need outside support. However, the realization of this power and the ultimate decision must fall within.
 
The concept of one's own creativity can of course be extended to all areas of life. Take the subject of self-love. If I treat myself badly, this will also happen to me on the outside. People will come into my life who also treat me lovelessly. And now comes the crucial point. If I see myself again as a victim and you as a perpetrator, I stick to the old cycle. However, if I accept this clear message and see which beliefs, old thought patterns or emotional wounds are hidden behind my lack of self-love, I can uncover them and thereby heal them. It is also important to get more into our hearts. That doesn't mean we should put up with everything. But on the contrary. In terms of self-love, it is important to set clear boundaries. Not with the crowbar

forgiveness quiz - 03 Nov 2020 09:29

Tags:

[[html]]
Watch your boss and his / her boss
If you've taken the time to read this <a href="https://mindwolves.com/2018/03/11/the-forgiveness-quiz/">
forgiveness quiz</a> list, then I assume that you are competent and self-determined (or at least want to be). A second assumption, which borders on certainty, is that either your boss or his / her boss has certain character traits or quirks that may have a significant impact on your career (Warning: I didn't say they were incompetent! Although you guys possibly reminiscent of the Peter Principle , which states that in organizations people tend to rise to their highest level of incompetence.).
 
The point is that you need to become aware of what influences, motivates, inspires, irritates and satisfies your boss and his / her boss one level higher. Only when you have this information can you really understand it and climb the corporate ladder.
 
Become indispensable
We all know that anyone can be replaced, but your goal must be to make yourself as indispensable as possible - through your attitude, your behavior, and your productivity . Now, when you reach a point where you feel like you are not being honest with yourself ("sliming down"), then it is time to think seriously about whether you have chosen the right job and are in the right company . One kind of indispensability is to make an effort to help everyone you work with or report to, thereby becoming better than them. It takes discipline, but it really pays off in the long run; namely for YOU.
 
Practice turning differences into agreement
Someone once described management communication as the art of getting everyone to give a little so that everyone gains a lot. The second you add a second person to the human equation, compromise (or consensus) becomes inevitable. This holds true in personal relationships and in professional life. Practice motivating others by helping them find common ground. A point on which they can agree because it suits their own interests and the interests of others. Try to turn every task into a win-win situation for everyone involved as best you can. As long as you are successful, your reputation and indispensability will skyrocket.
 
Let actions speak for you
I grew up with the saying, "Actions speak louder than words." Imagine what it takes to be described by your boss or co-workers like this: "He / she gets the job done without knocking out big words". That doesn't mean you're taciturn or uncommunicative, just that your quiet competence as such ensures that people judge you based on your work first, and only then on your words. Appreciating people and is a role model on a large scale.
 
Take calculable risks
Be willing to take risks when the prospect of significant success arises without the possibility of catastrophic losses. Risks are necessary to learn. In fact, we usually learn more from our mistakes than from our successes. We learn by doing something and occasionally failing to do it. Failure can be the short-term price to pay for long-term success.
 
So if you are determined to have a career, stick to these 10 points.

Craft your calling - 03 Nov 2020 09:28

[[html]]
You wonder what your Could be calling?
You think about what God through you would like to initiate, shape or change our world?
And you want to know what God's thoughts are about your career choice are?
These are important questions! Well… <a href="https://mindwolves.com/">Craft your calling</a>
… that this is a topic for you and that you have now landed on this homepage!
 
She would like to give you impulses, food for thought and practical tips on how you can find your calling.

 
 
We live in a time in which more and more people don't just want a job to earn money, but are looking for a job in which they can develop their potential and make a contribution to making the world a little better. It's good! After all, a job typically makes up a third of our everyday life. According to the motto of the comic artist Walter Moers: “Life is too precious to be left to chance”, one could say: a job that takes up a lot of my life is too precious to be left to chance. It's not just about earning your bread, it's about finding something that fills you out, makes sense and changes something.
 
 
In other words, and from a Christian perspective, we ask ourselves questions like: What is God's calling for me? What does he think about my career choice? What does God want to initiate, shape or change in the world through me? For Christians these are not unimportant questions, because being a Christian is not a religious hobby. As Christians we believe in the great and great history of God with the world and people, and as an individual believer I am called to live in an exemplary manner and to let God's plan for his new world become visible and concrete through my life. Therefore, career choice is not just any minor issue, but also a spiritual matter. And that is why it is good to give God the opportunity to speak into it with an impulse.
