The Search For Enlightenment

Having my mate back in the office today was great, he’s been away looking after his wife and his new baby and we’ve missed him.

Not going into details, but he also has other problems going on, and it really makes you realise that although we have problems of our own, life isn’t so bad really.

Life is actually just a series of problems, or challenges, and our job is to face these situations and having solved them, come out of the other side, stronger and wiser. Today has been super busy, so it was a fine balance of being supportive and caring, while dealing with as much of the work without taking up any of his time.

While it is very laudable to confront problems in person, there is no shame in having a little help. The difficulty from the other side is offering support without being intrusive. So maybe the very epitome of Wisdom, Courage and Compassion.

Having the courage to offer support in the first place, the wisdom to know where to draw the line and the compassion to show sensitivity in delicate situations.
