The Route to Fulfilment

 

Love has mysterious ways of bringing fulfillment.  Some seek fulfillment in relationships, others through power, name, fame or making money.  Love is the only mysterious energy which makes you feel truly fulfilled.

In corporate context, love is related to:

·        Love your work

·        Love your difficulties

·        Above all, love the richness of differences between you and your boss.

There’s nothing wrong in difference.

Love is experienced in a way that you accept people as they are and motivate them to peak their potential.  Love makes one enjoys one’s relationship, one’s work and also love builds trust in relationships.  With love we are able to accept weaknesses and faults of others.

Follow Abraham Lincoln’s step; to make friends of his enemies.  The question post by Lincoln was:

If I turn my enemy into a friend,

Have I not slain my enemy?

In any organization, there can exist internal enemies.  So, instead of being stressed by them, learn to love them, accept them, make friends and transform them.  This whole process is love and in it there is fulfillment.

 

Love gives the power of ‘direct perception’.  In life, perception is through our likes and dislikes which becomes our framework.  With this as the background, we will not be able to see others objectively because our likes and dislikes interfere with our perception.

Understanding comes through being aware of ‘what is’.  To know the ‘what is’, we should not allow our interpretation, prejudice and conclusion to interfere with our perception.  The ‘what is’ should be seen without condemnation, without personal slants to our perception.

Love is always inclusive.  When you exclude others, you are in conflict with the other.  Team spirit happens in such an inclusive space.  The corporate world will be in a much better order if one learns to explore how love can be the basis of one’ work.
