Career Mission's Chief Executive Officer, A. Harrison Barnes, in a webinar discussed how asking the right questions and perceiving life in the right manner, will eventually lead to immense self improvement.
Your perception of the world and your reaction to it, by and large determines your destiny. External factors do not. Having stated this, Harrison goes on to suggest that you must be conscientious as you encounter various conditions and circumstances in your life. Since your response is dictated by your emotional state, you must then work towards continual growth and improvement, which will eventually lead to appropriate and beneficial responses.
Positive responses evolve from positive emotions. Positive emotions result from a variety of factors. Not understanding the governing principles of your life, harboring the wrong beliefs, or asking yourself the wrong questions, will always give way to a negative outcome to a given situation. At this point Harrison states that one of the strongest governing principles is the law of order and disorder. Impermanence is the nature of life and the universe and the sooner you understand this fact, the better it is. Since you can do nothing to prevent or delay disorder, you must accept it and look at it as a place of great potential. Your challenge is to make the best use of disorder, in order to create a superior order there from. Once you have mastered this, the life and career you desire can begin to take shape.
