The Solution to Problems Lies within Each Problem
By: Harrison Barnes


Career Mission CEO, Harrison Barnes, as he discussed about the need to find a solution to problems instead on dwelling on them.

All of us in the world face problems. There is hardly anyone who has not faced a problem in life. However, different people manage problems differently. While some are easily able to manage their problems and move on in life, a large many of us are consumed by our problems and spend a good amount of our waking time worrying about them. In fact, many of us will create problems if none exist. If we were to divert all the time and energy spent in worrying about problems into productive pursuits, a lot more could be achieved.

Harrison believes that it is not the problems per se which are actually important. Rather, it is how you respond to the problems that will create your destiny. Most of our problems are based on assumptions or our perceptions of what things are. More often than not these assumptions or perceptions are simply not true. The more we give ourselves in to these assumptions, the more problems we create for ourselves.

Harrison observes that the basis for these assumptions is often our own past experiences. The past has a way of projecting itself on our present. You need to break away from the fear and shackles of the past if you want to enjoy your present and future. When you are comfortable with your past, there is no conflict. Nothing can trouble you then. Harrison believes that when we are confronted with problems, our reactions are based on a fear of some past experience. This fear creates a sort of charge within us. Instead of reacting to this charge, what we need to do is sit back and experience the charge. When we do so, the charge dissipates.

Harrison concludes by saying that life constantly sends us challenges in the form of problems. It depends on us whether we make these challenges work for or against us. When faced with problems, our goal should be to clarify the true nature of what we are facing. This clarity removes conflicts, saves energy and makes you more efficient.

Forbes Reports 151,352 Layoffs for January Itself; Employment Authority Proposes Alternative Job Search Approach

Pasadena, CA — According to a compilation by Forbes recently, there were 151,352 layoffs at America’s 500 largest public companies in the month of January. MORE


"There are always vacancies. Organizations are born, organizations expand, workers become restless, quit, change jobs, move, become ill long-term, or become handicapped, retire, or die. There are always jobs out there waiting to be filled. The fact that you can't find those jobs only means the vacancy hasn't been advertised, or you're not using the right method to find it. When the Internet or job-postings, or agencies, or ads, or resumes, don't work, there are other ways of turning up the job you want. So, if you're coming up 'empty,' you need to change the search method you've been using. ... To speed up your search for one of the jobs that are out there, go after many different organizations, instead of just one or two."
