Quotable Quotes for Stress Management and Inspiration
Business and Management Professionals are the busiest persons around. They are highly motivated and always on the go. They work 25 hours a day, 8 days a week. Even while sleeping they are dreaming about work. Like it or not, we are only human and we eventually succumb to stress. For Business and Management Professionals, balance is everything. If we lose our balance, then the whole work suffers.
In the hustle and bustle of work and daily stresses, one very important thing is frequently lost in the process. This is our inner spirituality. No matter what religion you have or even if you have no religion at all, spirituality is an important thing. It’s the x factor and your secret management edge. You can roughly describe spirituality as morale, meaning in life, inspiration, or the energy that keeps you motivated and on the go. Most describe it as their relationship with God.
Without this, it is as if we have lost our inner source of strength. We have no battery. We become automatons and work becomes a daily grind. In the end, the quality of our work suffers.
Good Business and Management Professionals are full of life and vigour that is contagious because they have an inner source of strength. They have a healthy spirituality.
Here are some inspirational quotations to relieve stress and keep you going on with your wonderful work.
In facing all of the life’s circumstances, sometimes we spend too much energy worrying on the things that we cannot change. Here is one famous quotation that always serves as a good reminder:
“Lord grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change; the courage to change the things that I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.”
When there is a great change in the organization that one has to take, and yet one is anxious and afraid, this prayer can help a lot:
“Lord teach me to be daring, to venture into the open seas where the storms shall show thy mastery, where losing sight of land, we see the stars.
During times of great success, I never forget to remind myself of this so I will continue to perform my best:
“Never let success hide its emptiness from you, achievement its nothingness, toil its desolation. And so keep alive the incentive to push on further, that pain in the soul which drives us beyond ourselves. “
When the whole organization is going through unchartered territories and yet one needs to be brave enough to take the risks, I read this quotation from Gautama Buddha:
“Only those who go where few have gone can see what few have seen.”
When there are problems too big and questions that I cannot answer. When the world seems to be falling apart, Richard Bach’s wisdom never fails to inspire.
“What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls a butterfly!”
Reading these quotations is really helpful and comes a long way. It will give you that boost of energy as you can also begin to inspire others. They are food for the soul. They are so subtle that the energy they bring is seldom noticed. But the effects are seen as a light in your eye, sincerity in your voice, and sweetness in your smile. These little things make life all worthwhile.
