Are you sold to every solution to your life as an executive?

We are living with a lot of problems every day, but at the same time, we are constantly sold with many ideas of solutions, especially in highly commercialized cities. Many people are trying to sell "solutions" to others.

With constant "hard selling" from others for a long time, most of us have adopted a defensive mechanism of "can't believe" or "can't be sold" to avoid any problems resulted from unworkable solutions or any risks of being betrayed. However, anything including "real solutions " can easily be set aside without "looking" and "evaluating" on our part in the first place.

Computations of "nothing can be helped", or "I can't be helped" or " I can't help" could be developed behind this defensive mechanism.

It may not be a problem if you are not aware that there's any problem. It looks "workable" to people with less responsibility or less hope about their future.

But for any executive with higher responsibilities in creating the future, he or she can't say that there's no problem when there's actually one. He or she can create more problems either by using unworkable solutions or ignoring any solutions including workable solution.

It's indeed a difficult dilemma to really live a truer and better life if one cannot observe, evaluate and decide the workable solution to any problem one's in.

If we can remove any stress, anxiety and fixed ideas we have, we can look and evaluate better that will enhance our abilities in finding and applying workable solutions to our work and life.

The most needed attribute is not whether you "can believe or not," but is your ability to look, evaluate and decide. So next time when you are approached with any "selling" of "workable solution", you may simply ask yourself to "look" first, but not necessarily "believe" or "can't believe"; as in fact you are senior to any problems or solutions. Probably that is the only sensible way to handle our life though "sold " with ideas of solutions all the time.

What stress are you facing and handling in your everyday executive life?

“Executives” are tough beings not only they want to get things done to the right direction, but also they are demanded to perform. A high necessity level is usually an inherent attribute for any successful executive.

However, we know somehow that there are some hidden influences which can trigger us to some unexpected response, emotion and thought. No matter how hard we have tried to put them aside, they simply won’t go away easily. “Stress” is the common symptoms not only for many executives, but also almost for every walks of life, especially in Hong Kong.

People try to use many different methods to get rid of their stress. Some even see this as “money making business” by marketing its products or services with the theme of “Stress Reduction”. Shopping can reduce stress, weight loss will help reducing stress, traveling can reduce stress, taking street drugs makes less stress, psychiatric drugs make you feel numb about stress, making a lot of money will increase your security so to reduce your stress, etc. Some may even go apathy about it and conclude that “stress” is simply part of human nature.

But do we know the sources of the stress in relation to the mechanism of the human mind?

If the invention of any of our high technology is due to the intelligence of human mind, why shouldn't our human mind have the correct technology and solution to fix any stress to keep our human mind in optimal function at all times? We can travel to the moon but why we cannot solve the problems of our own minds. Can we have some decent methods with long lasting effect that help us to put our human mind under our control?

Let's watch the below film about "Dianetics" to see whether it can give you some hints of the source of your stress and the better ways to handle any of your stress:
