Wanting to be the Best Worker

I am quite tired at the moment, it is around 9pm but I was up at 6am and my job is physically demanding. Especially when money enter the equation because when money is involved I find myself moving at a pace to make money, not something that is “natural” so to speak, That is one point I noticed about my job, is how money influence the ‘pace’ at which everything moves and “how hard” the people work. For myself I found a few times that I would end up getting hurt if I “moved to make money” then I would have to slow down and move at a pace which support my body, and not necessarily make the most possible money each day at the expense of my physical body. I find this is still quite a point though that comes up daily while I work. This point of making money and also this, in comparison to how much money other people make. I find at the end of each day, my experience of myself goes into a energetic fluctuation being ether positive or negative depending on how much money I made in comparison and relation to the other workers, instead of me simply being here with me, where my experience does not depend or rely or is determined by outside influences, I am aware of this point but find it still comes up daily. One of the points is that I like being seen as good treeplanter, Its like I experience myself as a “good planter” where others see me as a “good planter” and in a way see me as special in a way. Within this I find the experience of myself within my movements is much different, where when I go into the experience of “being seen as a good planter” its like I activate this personality of myself and feel important, and unique. Then at the end of the day when I find out that actually I was just average, and all my specialness is removed, it is as if I can no longer justify me building up myself, through generating a specific energy inside myself through participating with specific thoughts as me being special and unique and thus, I experience a kind of low. Its interesting actually because as I write about it, I actually see that In fact go into a ‘low’ energy where I actually think less of myself, and build up a negative energy of myself though judging myself, as if I am letting myself down, and the only way to ‘feel good about myself’ is to make more money than my fellow employees, so that I am the one seen in the special light. Than I can feel good about myself, but until then, I am just ordinary. I must look at this point more specifically because even though I am aware of the pattern, it has yet to stop, thus I must look at how I created this whole point throughout my life. But as for now I am going to go to sleep, I am tired.

  1. Thanks Andrew ! I experience a similar point in my work, going through highs and lows, based on my ‘performance’. Equal Money will obviously remove a lot of these points for the children to come who are born into a system that supports them as life instead of demanding that they pay to exist! Glad I found your blog. I’ll be back !!

  2. Hi Andrew – yes just see the energy build-ups that have to be created to sustain and maintain that idea of yourself as ‘good tree planter’, in that constant desire to win, even if the purpose is planting trees and making money to live, realize that the starting point of this is still creating the same system on ‘how it works’ based on wanting to ‘win’ and ‘be the best’ and ‘do as much as we can’ – etc – with the inherent point of money being ‘the aim’ as well –

    So, just stop this single starting point – just doing it in the moment, breath-by-breath, no comparison to others, lol no desire for recognition! and keep it simple – otherwise tiredness manifests and it becomes a rather vicious cycle.

    Cool to read you

  3. As people, we try to define our self with “uniqueness,” giving ourself an importance that we can percieve. This goal to form an independent identity is a large factor of the actions of people. People make jokes among peers to call atention to themselves, or they may develope disorders that they develope to overtreat their percieved misbehaviors. For example, this blog is a eay for you to communicate or percieve communication of your thoughts. The same want to form an independence or importance in yoir work group drives you to communicate your thoughts over the internet. My only advice is to be yourself. People will only be able to apreciate their existance by existing uncontained, especially by themselves; so, don’t contain yourself- don’t try to alternate your personality so that people will be interested in you, but let people see YOU.
