How Are You Processing the Headlines?

Quiet Quitting, Work from Anywhere, Work-Life Balance, The Great Resignation, Essential Workers……

“X” is happening and it is not good for you.”

We are fed these or similar terms in our personal and business lives on a daily basis.

Please be prudent as to how you process what you read and hear about “X”.

Take the time to personally unpack “X”, especially if it provokes a visceral reaction.
Visceral reactions are forks in the road.
They are potentially pathways to growth or hate.

Recognizing a problem is a pathway forward for growth.
Be cautious as most problems are way more complex than knee-jerk solutions.
Knee-jerk solutions may also have hidden agendas.

Take time to really examine “X”.

Your reaction to “X” may be you:

– Quitting on yourself

– Holding others responsible for the less-than optimal outcomes in your life.

– Not picking up a burden heavy enough to cause you to personally develop.

– Looking for a simple solution to a very complex problem.

– Being mentally groomed or being too lazy to spend time unpacking the snappy new term being used by main-stream media intended to stoke the fire of mob mentality, where a single person can wash away personal responsibility in the collective group.
