We often hear some of the painful questions in life from people who are in the professional and business world. Some of the questions are :
"I set goals; lay down my action plan and get all psyched for action, but when I get to work I get too impatient for the result. I expect too many things to happen too quickly. I develop anxiety and impatience. I then lose my enthusiasm. What is wrong with my approach, action and effort?
When I start working, even the small jobs weigh me down. Little jobs seem too heavy. I get exhausted too soon.
How do I switch off my mind from worries and anxieties while I am engaged in my work? I am not able to switch off my mind from worries related to work when I am with my family or in social engagement.
Inspite of my outward success there is still a thirst and hunger for fulfillment and personal satisfaction. Tremendous insecurity haunts me. I often experience sleepless nights. How do I find total satisfaction and fulfillment or meaning and purpose in my life?
My work, business as well as family life has become routine and monotonous. I am not able to sustain the job, energy and enthusiasm that I had at the beginning of my career and in my relationship with my spouse.
How do I instill the right mental attitudes to my workers? They seem to suffer from an attitudinal handicap with respect to their work. I get so frustrated pushing them to work.
I know that without challenges, life will have no progress. But I do not have the mental stamina to accept the fact and face it. How do I bring about the stamina and stability to face and overcome the indomitable challenges of life?
I have tremendous professional success, but at the cost of my personal joy, family life and marital harmony. My marriage has gone flat and insipid. We do not fight but there is no joy anymore in living together. The relationship has become mechanical. How do I rekindle the marital bliss and find a balance between my professional life and domestic living.
I am very active and dynamic and have even achieved a great deal in my life, but I am not able to maintain mental equanimity while I am working. Why is it that, as my responsibilities increase, the stress, worries, anxieties and inner pressure also increases?
Everything is all right in my life, but if only my spouse was more understanding and co-operative things would have been so much better!
I did everything to provide all the conveniences and facilities for my family and children but they still do not live upto my wishes and expectations. My children are tempted to all kinds of vices. They are rebellious and I have lost control over them.
All is well with my job. But I cannot tolerate a particular colleague. That person always gets on my nerves.
I often regret having done what I thought was right. I go through feeling that I should not have done it! Why did I do this? I should not have agreed to that deal! I should not have given into the demand. In this way I often go through the pain-of-regret.
These are some of the problems and painful questions in the minds of modern people. These are problems that cannot be solved by altering, manipulating or even improving outward conveniences. These are the diseases that can be treated only by one's own journey within through the process of self analysis. These are the difficulties that can be resolved only by gaining the mastery over one's own self and over your life.
