The Most Important Job You Need to Do

in life •  7 years ago  (edited)

Its quite interesting that the crucial job you should be doing is one that no one will notice, there is no way that they could, you could even say that it's also the the job that should never end, should never be completely done.

The journey of becoming the best that you can be, the path that leads you to attracting the right kind of people to your side, real friendships, healthy relationships and effective partnerships, starts by taking the time to know yourself, it starts with being comfortable with your needs and wants and having a clear idea of the things you don't want in your life.

One of my favorite quotes comes from a Philosopher from a different time, but yet his words are as true now as they have ever been.

"Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you" - Ralph Waldo Emerson

As much as the quote seems simple many of us avoid time with ourselves, attempt to find distractions as much as possible as to not think of the most important things, the most pressing matters in our life.

Where am I? Where do I want to be? should be questions we ask ourselves daily and when you realize, when this truth finally clicks in, that you are responsible for where you are in your life, when you stop blaming your current situation to circumstances and understand that you are not powerless, that is when change starts to happen.

Hope everyone is having a beautiful Sunday...

Success to you all

The best thing that a man can do to his life is to follow and obey the ONE Who created him for this is the whole duty of man.

According to my Jesuit instruction, Christianity is one of the most powerful religions of individualism.

Wow. I've felt that but have never been able to put it like that. Yet I still sin, sin, sin and and am forgiven, forgiven...thank you for that post.

I m 100% agree with your opinion.

yes,

very well said

Citation needed.

Beautiful .. yes fact
We should be grateful for the opportunities of life
Thanks for sharing tips with us

Love a bit of Sunday night inspiration :-)

Thanks for sharing

I agree - a Sunday inspiration to set your mind ready for a new week. I find this inspiration so helpful because so many of us work so hard to find riches. Not understanding that if you find riches and have not worked on yourself, you will lose it faster than the time it took to build it. Lottery winners can attest to this. So one should always be working on oneself so that we will find wealth and keep it for life. Thanks for sharing.

@jackie2017 I so much love this part "Not understanding that if you find riches and have not worked on yourself, you will lose it faster than the time it took to build it".
People are quick to work get rich but hate to work on themselves to bring out virtues that will sustain the wealth.
@ chbartist Thanks for the post. Though I'm reading it on a Monday, I'm sure it will help my week.

it is totally true, you are the best guide of your life, the owner of your thoughts and feelings, you only owe your goal, what you are passionate about, what you want and what you really need, focus and put your heart into it, happy sunday

Simple truth here and very important to realize this. Thanks for this post, sometimes a few well-put-together words like this can really make a difference in a person's perspective.
Promoting positivity and being true to ourselves is definitely needed in today's world. Thanks! See you around :)

Never runaway from the situation, or think what if. Adapt in the situation, because you might be privileged to have a situation like that,and another might not be. Have a cool mind, I am sure then anyone can tackle any kind of situation :-)

agreed with you , best post i have seen ever thanks alot #positive thinking

Damn it's hard to spend time with yourself these days. Instagram, SnapChat, Amazon, emails, ESPN, Spotify, Groupon..the list goes onnnnnn. Shit, not to mention just hanging out with friends and family. Hyper connectivity and consumerism won't stop, those machines don't want you to spend time with yourself and find out who YOU REALLY ARE, cause if you did take a moment to look inside, you would most likely find that not everything is what it seems. You will find what @chbartist is referring to in this post, that life can be SO MUCH MORE when you take the time to really get to know yourself.

Great post man.

@mandogbeard just love ur facetious reply ... hahah haha hahahaha :D

SM platforms are designed to be addictive; dings, notifications, popups ... small doses of an action, done enough times becomes addictive, like toking or drinking!! :O

Technology is good if we use it effectively, however when technology consumes us, that's when we need 2 break the habit and for many, tis hard 2 break a habit

thank you for a nice article about the difficulty of life @ Chbartist

Agree 100% !! Good posts give life a lot of inspiration. That the key to success is within us, then we should introspect ourselves ....

I wish I saw this post in the morning so maybe I could spend time not working on Sunday, taking time off to myself. I agree with you and, I would like to make an addition to what you have said, time is your most valuable asset in life. Use efficiently and invest time!

Wow ... Tips that are valuable to me. I just heard her ... Thank you @chbartist

Wow.. nice tips.. very inspirational.. thanks alot for sharing @chbartist

First of all personal satisfaction is much needed . Then paths are visiblw which one can easily choosed but it also depends upon the people around you as it is necessary because right people will lead you to the right path.

Great post Love me some Emerson!

Why would you spend 242 steem on up voting to get 333sbd of votes. After 75% thats only around 250 steem. A lot of risk over 8 steem profit if you ask me.

I think it's just promotion... He I upvoting everyone and buying a ton on steem on a bear market... I say we try to see the good side of this... I don't know anyone who has bought 10k of Steem this week and fed it right into the blockchain

great motivational post. thanks sir @chbartist for sharing this post, keep it up 😊

Really deep and well said, thank you @chbartist.

I am got inspired from you, I don't know where from you but honestly I will say, your transaction made me like shivering...

thanks for sharing

good post :) great man @chbartist

yes i agree every one needs to find time to know them selfs and to know what they would like to do in there life, also i think that most people do jobs that what other people like family or friends told them do because they think its better for them but thats not true sometimes ... very nice post

Indeed, I'm agree with your comment!.

this is so touching and true but there are things and thoughts that are not easily ignored. all the same life is what you make it...

Surround yourself with good people, people of great heart, soul and spirit, simple people, humble, good vibes and positive attitude. They are the best company. And work on that, to be their best company too. That is the job that should never end.

what a wonderful post. I always read your blog. very inspiring as always :) thank you @chbartis

Everybody needs time for themselves. I was always finding excuses and distractions and I never really thought about what i was going to do in life until about half a year ago. I really got scared about the future when I realized I had been wasting my time all those years but since I started having quality time with myself, knowing myself, my strengths, and weaknesses, I'm not scared of the future anymore.

you got it man

Yes dude you right I follow your tips thanks to share with us dude

Thats true. I wonder if most people need more practical advice how to archive that.

know thyself.

Surrounding yourself with great people is the second step to achieve great in life after having a particular mindset.

Short post but I have to agree you're right. Nice quote too @chbartist good job!

Great post man! Thanks for sharing.....

Inspiring post @chbartist you made. I completely agree. Once we realize who we are , who we want to be, we shall do the best we can with heart and soul and the dedication

Powerful post. The thing is (at least in the western world) we have it better now than any other time in history. The world is relatively peaceful now compared to different points in history . And our medicine, communication, and transportation has is more advanced than ever before. In other words people are more empowered than ever before to do something with their lives.
The issue in my opinion is this notion of 'keeping up with the joneses'. Looking back on my experiences when I was finishing high school the norm in my community was go on to university and do your undergrad. The idea of a victory lap in high school or taking some time off was out of the question. So many friends of mine ended up going to university not with a goal in mind but because it was the respectable decision. And this issue of living your life to earn respect from others rather than doing what makes you happy is one of the biggest problems which people face today.
Hopefully if more people read posts like yours and manage to take a step back from the "daily grind" and think about the important things in life, such as what their goals are and what they really want to do then they will find genuine happiness.

@Benjamin852, well said my dear chap :) ... you are so correct that most tend 2 make decisions to please others for fear of disappointing them rather than pursuing what is meaningful.

This fear is normal which can be traced to how the human brain is wired; to belong to the tribe one must do as the tribe does. This is a lower brain or what I call 'reptilian brain' function - that is, our basic needs for food, shelter, love, sex and belonging drives most of our decisions, and that's why many will follow the herd.

From my readings, 3% will be rule breakers and do what makes their heart sing or soul fly!! To forge a new path of resistance one has 2 possess COURAGE and be willing to hear -'ve comments from others while still having the guts to BELIEVE in themselves enough to dance their own drums

@chbartist well inked and all points noted. Love, "The journey of becoming the best that you can be, the path that leads you to attracting the right kind of people to your side, real friendships, healthy relationships ......" CLARITY is key and your post reminds me of Shakespeare's famous quote:

"And to thine own self, be true."

Thank you!

Every one has their own powerful in them. If we have passionate and pay attention to what we want to achieve in life. Real powerful is come from inside of ourself not from other. Thank you for your words

Your words worth more than bitcoin, after understating myself it's second step to work on family. Because life starts from home not from office or job.

This is a very good positive post.
In this day to day life everyone is suffering from pain,sadness.
Even i don't even know when i was the last time i was truly happy.
This post is surely motivational.❤
Nice content
Thank you.

That's true!!!.

Couldn't agree more! We should be devoted to ourselves and realise we are the only creators of our life and happines. We are the ones who decide what are we going to do and how we are going to do that. We need to know what are our goals in order to achieve them and we should definitely remove toxic persons from our lives!
All in all, great post! :)

Very intelligent post. Thank you for positive energy for the next week.

Everyone should have a chosen goal in life. When we do not have them, we do not take any action. In my opinion, everyone is able to achieve success only need is to be patient and hardworking! Great post, best regards!

Nice post. Until you take out time to truly discover who you are and chase your passion, life will be meaningless.

When you nurture positive energy and constantly motivate your subconscious, success is inevitable ... In one form or another, the subconscious works to the benefit, without feeling, to the success that we want to achieve :)
BE POSITIVE :)

interesting, never heard of this philosopher, but I agree with this quote

Absolutely correct. We are called to serve. To serve you have to give. To give you have to have something (yourself) you can not give what you do not have. Invest in yourself and serve others.

great post!

yesss :D I totally agree with you but really though, I only just wanted sleeping as a job hahahahahah

This is such an inspirational message. sometimes we get so caught up with the world that we forget what we truly are and what we truly believe in.

Hi, its true..we're so busy that we don't stop, and reflect for a minute or two. We look for solutions elsewhere, and we don't realize that the power lies within ourselves. We have the power to solve our problems.

I totally agree with you, the change begins with ourselves, and it is wonderful to allow ourselves this trip inside to discover us, it is not easy, but it is gratifying. From that moment everything you choose will be real.

Nice motivation for everyone :)

I think in addition to making the most of yourself, you should always control and direct your mind to whatever ends you desire.

sounds so easy.....

Great piece. This is just the reality of life that can pave way for self betterment and improvement.
Thanks for sharing!

My sentiments exactly. If we would all take responsibility for ourselves first the entire world would be the one most of us want.

Thanks for this post.

Well! I agree with u but I believe, we should always have belief that God has plan for all of us. Never lose hope, have faith eventually things get right with time.

Never loose hope in a life. Always try to satisfy urself with what u have rather than complaining for not getting what u wanted.

That the key to success is within us, then we should introspect ourselves ....

Yeah I think everyone can need a job

Couldn't agree more! WE hold the power to manifest our dreams into reality. So surround yourself with positivity & like-minded individuals whom are going to help you reach your successes in life, whatever they may be!

Nice tips. I have always been saying this. I want to lick up failures from within me, get pregnant with hard work and give birth to success. There is no limit to the one who dream big.

Great post man! Agree 1000%

I totally agree with you on that aspect.
Many people even know how to be alone and need others to carry out their day to day. And I do not know what counts as knowing yourself is the most important thing. And the others will be a complement of happiness.
I just published a post I think will be interesting to you.
I leave here another emerson appointment that I like very much:
"Every man I know is superior to me in some way, in that sense, I learn from him." Emerson

love your post, it has really given me an insight on how i should treat life. welldone!!!

yes my friend, well said, couldn't of put better myself. A lot of people om this planet struggle with ever achieving true happiness as it alwasy usually comes from a superficial statment and thats through natural rersources that have been created to use against us through the horrendous system of money. people seem to think that a sucessful life is one with a lot of money and while like myself cant ignore the reality of the unfrotunate systems we live in that is based on this, its not the attititude to have as true happiness is knowing oneself....please feel free to have a lok at my page if ever you have any spare few minutes...

have a good evening

You create your reality, but who you really are? This question keeps improving everyday. Understanding human design and the mechanics of life are the greatest experience in my journey so far...

I am an inspirational kind of a blogger and this has touched me. I dont even know who you are but Im loving every content on your page.
This world ia already hard enough, it needs people like you to remind others that it will be alright.

Knowing is easy. Applying is the game changer. Man, know thyself! I f only we learn to apply ourselves more and worry less, the world would be a better place.
