How can you care and love others in their difficulties?

You must utilize some of your ceaseless energy to care for others in your professional life.  Love and care for another person is a laudable service and if you can extend this support service for the  people who need this assistance; you not only make him happy, but you also earn his blessings and good wishes. And when you extend these activities relentlessly, you get support, encouragement and desire to do the same activities for many people and in this process you get a fulfillment. The human beings have a natural tendency to seek fulfillment for one or the other thing.  If this fulfillment is not achieved, there is a feeling of frustration, discontentment and irritation and all these destructive factors delude you to enjoy your work, company and surroundings.  In life, some of us seek fulfillment in the name of relationship, others seek the same in the name of wealth, name and fame.  In short, all of us want a feeling of contentment. Love and care are the main aspects, which do not define any boundary.  It is a mysterious fulfillment.  At one moment, you will be swayed by its mysterious power; at some other time, you will be bewildered to identify its power of attraction.

In our professional lives, we are sometimes contended, but mostly, we are not able to satiate our desires.  When we are not able to achieve our goals, we get distressed.  Whether we are doctors, engineers, lawyers, executives or simply working professionals, we are being deprived of this energy of love.  The pertinent question is how can we bring in love in the professional world?  The way we behave sometimes in our corporate life, which is full of rivalry, favors, jealous feeling, acrimonies, back biting, leg pulling and demeaning others; it seems this  professional world is completely devoid of the energy of love and care. But all of us can bring in an atmosphere of love in our work.  Love what you do and do what you love.  Love the struggles you face in your work schedule, love the period of difficulties, love your obstinate boss, love your difference with your junior colleagues, and finally, love all your colleagues sincerely.  If you are able to bring in this pattern of behavior in your work ethics and convince others to follow your path or take your guidance, then no one is required to take a leave from work and the work itself becomes a  no excuse to leave.

Love and care are such energies that the more you radiate, the greater it will be dissipated.  You have to accept your colleagues as they are. Love them in their ways and motivate them to discharge and deliver their best possible deliverables.  Your power of motivating others, ultimately makes you to enjoy your relationship with others, with their works and the same will develop a trust between you and your people.

You have to accept the faults, idiosyncrasies, foolishness and stubborn behavior of others through a trust whether they are your corporate colleagues or they may be your spouse, children, friends, and even your enemies.  You must cultivate a habit to love them as they are.  If you show rigidity to change their attitude and character, they may retaliate.  It may happen that you lose them. Gandhiji used to preach that if someone slaps you on one cheek, tell him to slap  on the other cheek.  Can that person remain angry with you anymore?  The best theory is that if you can make your enemy into a friend, he is automatically getting subdued by you.

In a corporate world, you cannot win other’s heart by animosity, but if you spread love to your arch rival, he may perhaps become your friend.  Instead of getting the working environment stressed out, show love to others, make friendship with them and try continuously to transform them and see the outcome  The whole environment will be energized with a fulfillment. Love teaches us the real meaning of perception. In our course of lives, there is no perception, because most of the time, we are not able to love others.  Either we have a feeling of ‘no concern’ or we have a feeling of hatred, jealousy, criticism or overlooking others welfare.  Except our family members, we seldom love anyone.  So, we are not able to focus on perception. Further, perception occurs through resistance.  We have always resisted perception through our liking and disliking.  In the corporate world, peace is not prevailed because of this resistance.  We are not able to evaluate others objections.

You must accept others either in your working place or in your social environment as they are. If you analyze the other person in his  way without putting your interference, opinion, advice and theories, there won’t be any resistance.  If you accept others without any prejudiced mind, you will make the environment more cordial and less resistance.  In an open mind, if you embrace anybody, there is bound to be a loveable relationship and the same will create a fulfillment in you.

Love and care  as discussed here are not pertaining to self-love. The character of true love has been always depended how you treat others, whether you analyze them in your way or based on their problems and difficulties. When you exclude others views and  give preference on your opinion only, you get involved in conflicts and the situation leads to a turbulence. When you show respect, feeling and care for others, you create an environment of consensus so, you are in a bonding of loving relationship burying the conflicts.  In this way, in the professional world, team spirit evolves and reaches a peak level because of absenteeism of conflicting behaviors.

The professional and social environment will remain organized, if one becomes capable to love others through discharging their duties dutifully and show a sympathetic approach for others works and their contributions. Irrespective of work load, status, position, timing and the nature of the work, if one is able to show kindness and love to his colleagues, the professional disputes will be minimized almost to a negligible and productivity will be increased beyond any dispute. That should be the real goal of life and for this, the concept of ceaseless love and care for others must be in your mind.
