Thanks for the inspiring interview.

You said that very well. Complaining isn’t always a bad thing because it shows us what we need to focus on. By reframing the complaint to help guide you to spend more time with your son, that’s a great use of turning your feelings into actions.

My feeling is that as long as it gets you writing don’t be strict with the outcome.

A whole new world opened up. That’s why I teach people to use their fear to fuel their choices.

Interesting enough, last night I published a list of things I won’t be doing when I leave the cube. I had written that list some time ago in one of my more desperate moments. I published it mostly because I realized there are a lot of people out there that have these thoughts during their workday and I wanted to connect with them, to let them know they are not alone.
What struck me the most as I re-read my list was that within the words that compiled my list of cube complaints were my values – only flipped around as complaints. For instance, when I listed having to finagle to get an afternoon off with my son, I can turn that around and say I value time with my son. How do I build a life with more of that?!
I think it is important when we are not happy at work to look at our complaints for the hidden values and strengths that are not present and find a way to bring more of what we love and value into our life. Sometimes (okay many times) this requires facing fear but know that you are heading towards a more true life.
Happiness lies therein.

Great interview! I love Karl’s focus on using strengths in our work. Ultimately, when we can uncover our strengths and start using these everyday, we have found a calling, which probably isn’t much like work at that point. It’s all about self-awareness of what we love and do best. I also believe in transforming our fear and emotional energy through pushing forward, seeking growth, and being creative. Thanks a lot!
