Interrogate Routines

Routines & Perseverance

Many people who are less like a routine. Origin rutinistas've heard the term, like-I think that comment will be ejected was sounding less tasty. The routine is identical with boredom, stagnation, anti-creativity, and others. In fact, judging by his physical, there is no difference between those who underwent a routine and people who pursue something.

Routine is, we do something together in the same way and continue to persist in the same time. How to pursue something? At first sight was the same. Pursue that means we do something repeatedly and in a period of time. Hence, the birth, there are people who go to work just to live rutunitas, but there is also possible to pursue a particular expertise.

If you are not physically different, then where lies the difference? There lies the difference in one's inner dynamics. Inner dynamics of what kind of difference? Inner dynamics that often becomes differentiator among others:

First, awareness of the deep. People who pursue something driven by the awareness that comes from within themselves (intrinsic initiative and motive). They realize that it is something to be done, that what he was doing was important to him. Whereas people who were undergoing routine generally encouraged by the "consciousness from outside," or initiative from external factors. Many external factors that shape, for example: coercion of people, the demands of the situation / work, obligations organizations, and others.

By feeling, something we do on the basis of the awareness of the it will make our inner being "flow" or flow, run as processes. Meanwhile, something we do on the basis of coercion from the outside that usually causes our inner being "force", have felt a pressing or often we understand as a stressor. Therefore, by calculation, people who pursue something that far away from the stressor than those who underwent routine.

Second, a dynamic target. People who pursue something that has a dynamic target. It means dynamic target is the target that is constantly upgraded or repaired (some more, learn more, and do more). People who pursue something had the urge to ascend to a higher competency level of consciousness itself. This is different from those who only underwent a routine. The target should he pursue a target that is created from outside himself.

As motivation, the person to his job had a higher motivation than those who only underwent a routine. Therefore, if you look at the concept of competence development, will we find the explanation that the stronger the motivation someone disumberkan on inisitaif, consciousness, or the intrinsic motive, means that the higher motivation. Conversely, the stronger a person's motivation is based on external pressure, the lower means.

High-low motivation associated with many things. If the working world context, motivation is related to how far a person to be creative, push as hard as anyone to find the information needed to handle the work, amounting to what one's attention to the work (the concern for oder), and others. These all affect work performance.

Third, solutions to problems that arise. People who pursue work that defines itself as a source solutions first and foremost for all the problems that arise (problem solver). She did need someone else as an aid, but does not rely on others. The key word here is the need and rely on. Mentally, we need a means of conscious as the main charge. We lift ourselves as "the cause". This is different to rely.

Rely on other people that we picked up as "gods" that determines our lives. Both science and religion and the practice of life, relying on other people, including a destructive mentality. When people have started to rely on, then the activation key that moment in her capacity in direct "off". Even if we are really capable of, but if you've got the mentality to rely, practice, certainly we will not be able to.

There's a little lesson from the life story of Mark Victor Hansen. That right glow author of The Chicken Soup for the Soul which has been translated into various languages in the world, including Indonesia. How the story of Mark in connection with our discussion of this? Before finally deciding to write the book, Mark has a unique life history. Starting a business in the construction field owned by his family at the age of 20 years. When he was 26 years, the business went bankrupt to make a living Mark total mess.

After a long life which he said is not clear, the encounter with an old friend there, his name is Jack Canfield, who now often become co-writer with her. From Jack is Mark had a chance to listen to the tape of the speech celebrated figures, his name is Robert Cavertt. What is interesting from the speech? The speech, entitled "Are you the cause or are you the effect" (whether you as a cause or as a result?) Really made him realize that all this time he was not the cause, but the effect (the effect). I was so fascinated with the contents of the speech, Mark play as much as 287 times.

In a 1994 interview cited by the magazine Entreprenur, Mark open talk that one dominant reason why 90% of mankind fails to realize the idea is because they realize as a result (the effect), not as the cause for himself. Washington Irvin said, 90% the cause of our failure was the proclamation itself (self-excusing) the same understanding by becoming a "consequence".

Since Mark realized that in this world there are still many people who do not feel themselves as the cause, then with Jack Canfield, Mark wrote the book that glow. Even this does not directly make Mark changed his fate. It is said that before the books are hailed as leading the list, best seller, the rejection of 33 publishers had experienced. Even in the expo's books, more than 134 visitors say NO!. Until there is a small publisher willing to print his book and from where he started

I think there are many examples around us that can take the lessons. Indeed we must be fair that we would think as a "cause" or as "a result", our fate will not immediately change. No change in the fate that was created from the mind. Only, to change the fate of the contents and models of thinking needed changing. Changes in thinking will change the attitude, the attitude will change the conduct or behavior, attitudes would change the outcome.



Mental Barriers

When it comes to nature, means that all the work that we can treat as a mere routine or can we make as a farm to train keahlin (diligence). This is what becomes the determining is our thoughts, our mind, our conclusions or our choice.

However, in practice it is not as simple as we discussed here. From conversations with several people who feel just undergone a routine work, there's always a justification (justifier) which can be blamed as the cause. This example there are people to conclude he was not / has not got a job or profession in accordance (with the education, competence, experience, etc.).

The difficulty of getting a job, the more suitable employment, has become the reason of the most tender to accept a job as a routine. In addition to these reasons, the issue of salary, rewards, bonuses, and various financial incentives are also often used as an excuse. Indeed when you say the conditions in the field, not many in our company who are willing and able to provide salaries and incentives in accordance with the "normal expectation" of workers. From this state then dimunculkanlah a conclusion to treat the work as a regular routine.

There are still many external reasons that make it worth it to us pointing as the cause of why we only see as a routine job. Questions that may need us come up with is, is it true that this condition can not be changed? Is not the effect will also be returned to us as well?

Principle, as we have seen in advance, this can be changed, depending on our choice. Although we can not change the external circumstances that directly and immediately, but we can alter our internal state directly and immediately. And again, both theory and practice, not the external circumstances were not as decisive us? Is not the external circumstances that in fact only offers and supports us?

Say we are today was to get a job that did not fit with the desires and expectations. At the same time we also have tried to appropriate another job but to no avail. When it comes to the theory and practice, this situation can we accusations as a cause to undergo a routine job and we could also use as an opportunity to pursue skills (managerial, technical and professional), which later we need.

So, essentially re also on the choices we've created.

Therefore, in the scientific literature, routine and persistence is related to three things. These are:

* The dynamics of a stagnant mind
* Exploration of self-less
* Flexibility is low.

When we did not get sober to have clear objectives and clearly we strive for, not consciously to have a target that really challenge or motivate, not immediately aware of to run self-development agenda, almost certainly thought we would stagnate. When it stalled, rutinitaslah who became his target.

So also with self-exploration. In all jobs, whether we think is appropriate or not, that there must be certain parts of the match with something that needed to be short term or long term. This proves that the capacity within us is relative, depending on the empowerment and exploration that we do.

All human beings are given the ability that allows him the flexibility to adapt to their environment. The question is whether we will use it or we leave. If we use it, so in any situation or condition will still be a gap to pursue something. Indeed there must be an easy practice and there must be a difficult.



Some Solutions

Is there a solution? So far the solution is defined as the process we need to do, of course there is. But if it is interpreted as the result of which at the same time, we may be hard to find. Almost all human problems, the solution is more often associated with learning. Learning here is a process of change themselves (thoughts, feelings, actions) for improvement, based on practice.

Well, this related to our discussion, we can do process that include physical penyiasatan. This can be done in various ways and forms. For instance: create a new atmosphere in the workplace, moving to another place, move to another location, and others. Insofar as we can do, and the results were "OK", why not? By creating a new atmosphere, we feel there is something new: new feelings, new thoughts, new spirit, and others. This is so that we do not feel as "routine machine." Lots of little things we can do to create a new atmosphere, new feelings, or new thinking in place of the old.

But it should be noted, sophisticated as any we do physically penyiasatan it, will someday face the same problem. We do this if only purely physical penyiasatan. Say we move the work elsewhere. If our mind is not dynamic, over time we will feel as routine engine. Therefore we need a second penyiasatan. What is it?

There should be an inner penyiasatan. This means we begin to change the contents of mind about the routine, began to change the attitude and treatment. Henceforth, we begin to change the agenda, change target, change targets, change focus, and others. This inner Penyiasatan we can do in a place now or in the new place. We make existing jobs as a farm to pursue something we think is important for the next step. This can be shaped, for example, managerial skills, mental skills, or technical expertise. In all the jobs that exist in this world it must contain three things.

As we've discussed here, principally, all the problems we face in the workplace that offers two options for finding a solution. First is Hobbo (Hang out-but-building-option). That is, we still lead the profession / job there, but trying to develop more options for inner mendinamiskan. For example: to find new gaps, pursue new skills, expand networking, find other activities that support, play a better role, and others. So, who migrated only our inner.

Both are Sobbo (Stay-out-but-better-off). This is our total migration. We leave to another place, occupation / profession other in inner and outer. But it should be conditional on the existence of hope or commitment to realize a better life career, not migrate or migrate only the origin emigrated to avoid the problems that are instantaneous (reactive).

Why? Because, whether we choose Sobbo though, still plays a vital inner dynamics. Millions of cases to prove there are people who have changed jobs / professions many times but ends podo Wae, alias back to the original. Why? Because the dihijrahkan just physical. Meanwhile, his mindset, the mental attitude, his habits, and his skill did not come dihijrahkan. Hopefully useful.
