Just my thoughts #0513

Both a life in which money is the goal and a life that ignores money while focusing on the limitations of existence are enslaved to money. People are wary of greed for money but feel pity for a life constrained by its lack and filled with excuses. However, these two are essentially the same phenomenon, stemming from a misunderstanding or lack of knowledge about the essence of money. Both conditions prevent individuals from achieving the freedom that money can provide. That is why money becomes a source of unhappiness when it is viewed either as a purpose or merely as a means. There is nothing more precious than the freedom to exercise sovereignty over my life independently. The world divides into those who seek wealth for freedom and those who earn money to become slaves to it. There is no neutrality. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Leaders delegate, while bosses manage. Organizations that have numerous meetings and extensive reporting are led by bosses, not leaders. Another factor contributing to this phenomenon is that the work being performed is viewed not as a product but as a project. Product work emphasizes customer experience, whereas project work relates to compliance deadlines. Consequently, project work involves many meetings and reporting. Dysfunctional organizations are characterized by excessive meetings, while successful organizations prioritize conversations over meetings. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Self-love is an essential human instinct, prompting us to prioritize our own survival before others. This instinct makes it challenging to make sacrifices for those around us. However, when we deeply love someone, we essentially extend and project our self-concept onto them. In essence, love involves sharing my self-love with another person. Consequently, love fades when I can no longer see myself reflected in that person. When our self-love becomes distorted, it leads to suffering in our relationships with others. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
