"Knowing enough" changes the quality of work and life
Learning from Buddhism and Psychology "The State of the Mind" and the Essence of Business
Are you busy with your daily work and feel that you need to produce more results or that you are still not enough?
That's never a wrong way of thinking.
Ambition is an essential energy for businessmen.
However, if it is combined with chronic feelings of "lack of goodness" or "impatience", it can unknowingly drain your mind and actions.
What is the psychology of not being "satisfied" even if you succeed?
In psychology, it is said that humans "get used to (adapt)" to any success or reward.
Even if your annual income increases or you get promoted, after a few months, it becomes "natural" and you want to go even higher.
This condition is called the "hedonic treadmill".
Buddhism also teaches that "craving" = unsatisfied desire creates suffering.
"Knowing enough" increases productivity and happiness
"Contentment" in Buddhism is a way of mind that is grateful for what you have and feels content with it.
This does not mean "don't be ambitious".
Moving forward with the current situation will ultimately lead to the most sustainable and healthy growth.
For example
:-
Are you taking a
- step forward compared to your "yesterday self" rather than comparing yourself to others?
- Are you working not only in terms of immediate results, but also in accordance with the values you want to cherish?
- Do you not overlook small achievements and work hard for yourself and your team?
This attitude is the foundation for working on business persistently without rushing or wavering.
"Your own perception changes the world"
Business is subject to changes in the environment.
But it's up to you how you perceive the environment.
Whether you see a pinch as an "opportunity" or a "bad luck" will change your subsequent behavior.
You cannot have complete control over the outside world.
However, you can retrain your own views and habits of your mind.
When you are worried or confused in the business field,
Adjust your "state of mind".
This will be the foundation for long-lasting results and satisfaction.
Rather than "I do my best because I am not enough", "I can demonstrate my strength because I am enough"
Why don't you cultivate such a business mindset little by little?
