It’s been nearly 3 years since I began doing the WorkLife Minute. It’s something that I value highly as it offers a nugget of information that generally promises an ah-ha moment on “cultivating resilience & serenity in a 24/7 world.” Tonight I was inspired by the king of inspiration himself, John Tesh as I take WorkLife Nation to the next level which will soon be revealed.
John appeared on our talk show tonight at News 12 Long Island. He shared that success was not about the money, but instead being passionate about your work. The deepest desire of your heart. Speaking about how difficult it was for him to make the decision to leave Entertainment Tonight, he went on to explain his journey, that lead to fulfilling his dream of playing piano as a career. Subsequently it lead to his nationally syndicated radio show: Intelligence for Your Life. It materialized organically – sparked by a desire to help people and a passion for sharing what he had learned.
When asked about his best selling book of the same name, he said a lot of the wisdom came from failure. We’ve all learned such lessons. There’s an incredible wisdom that often arises out of chaos. He also shared that it was through a lot of self-contemplation and going to a deeper place spiritually, that he was able to overcome various obstacles that crossed his path.
I’m a fan of John’s radio show because I think it comes closest to reflecting my passion about how we’ve become a WorkLife Nation, and how to navigate it. The lines have blurred between our living and working experience and his program paved the way to practically examin how we’re living our lives.
At work, we generally don’t have the kind of inspirational or psychological help to get through crisis. But there are some exceptionally healthy workplaces out there that offer support in very practical ways. A few months back I wrote on this topic in my post: Wellness and the Psychologically Healthy Workplace.
Here’s my latest WorkLife Minute (TM) on The Psychologically Healthy Workplace which highlights a recent study by the American Psychological Association:
