Dear Peter,
Thank you for the reply and advice:)
In relation to the question if I have ever not met a task that iwas assigned to, I think I am good at running away from completing the task.this was something which I realised about myself throughout the years and it is something I would like to stop it from happening.
I have barely stayed in a job for more than 2years. I left one of my job within 6months as I felt so stress in not being able to complete the tasks assigned to me.the sales department will be constantly questioning our team if the on boarding documents are completed. I felt stress n things were not within my control. So I left the company.
In my subsequent job,we were assigned to projects that I felt it required much research.Proper directions were not given and multiple unnecessary approval were needed. I did not feel very happy to continue with the job so I left the company.
I now fear the challenges that I will face in this next job!I know I need to over come them!I know the reason why I wanted to join this new firm.I know that I want to strengthen my knowledge in this field!I am fearful that I cannot take up the challenge-adapting to the new systems,not being able to deliver datelines,not being able to over come longer working hours.
Thank you peter for reminding me that the fear and worry I am experiencing is often based on wanting to be certain and in control of everything.
Worry is wasting today’s time cluttering up tomorrow’s opportunities with yesterday’s troubles.
Worry is the product of feverish imagination working under the stimulus of desires… It is a necessary resultant of attachment to the past or to the anticipated future, and it always persists in some form or other until the mind is completely detached from everything. (Meher Baba)
These quotes are really good 🙂 I will learn to live in the present and to stay positive! My goal and aim is to overcome the challenges,face it head on!and to stay on for a longer period in a company and achieve certain level of achievement!nothing is impossible!its all in the mind:) thanks lots peter for the quotes:)
