Acceptance

I have been wanting to pen my thoughts for a long time, more around sharing some perspective I have but more around sharing what I have learnt. Acceptance is key for success in life and also in corporate life.

I have seen so many individuals fighting againts accepting what has been laid down and often causing harm to themselves mentally and physically. I am not saying lie down and accept what is being handed out but know when the cause you are fighting for is a lost cause or you are fighting against odds which have been stacked against you. 

why not just embrace what is offered to you if you see that as a fair deal and let live ? Examples of acceptance at the workplace could be :
your manager behaves in a rude manner and does not give you the respect you feel you deserve, just accept the fact that he/she is that way and make peace with yourself and look at the choices and options you have around this. 
you could choose to move out if you plan that but if you do stay, do not grumble and hang on since you are making a conscious choice to stay on.

do not be upset that you have to leave becuase of your boss, just accept it, similarily if you choose to stay on, accept the fact that your boss is rude and live on ...

All of us examine the trustworthiness of our surroundings at work and at home. At home, we evaluate the trustworthiness of people who are with us all the time while at work, as a manager, we evalute trust of our employees, and employees scrutinize the trustworthiness of managers and organizational practices and organizations. Robin sharma the great man of wisdom says the deeper your relationship with others, the more effective your leadership. People will not follow you if they do not trust you, and before someone will lend you a hand, you must first touch their heart. Trust can be viewed as interpersonal trustworthiness generated or evidenced in organizational policies, practices and top leaders and managers “walking their talk.” The focus on top management has become more acute as the failures of Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, Lehman ...
