One candidate who was supposed to join today did not show up, then there was no response and now the phone has been switched off. This is a familiar experience for me as a recruiter but still the emotions follow the same painful trajectory. This is a BIG problem for me!
One must be wondering – How is this related to “Why I watch Television!”? Hmmm
Everyday there is something you hear that shatter you – be it flood situation across country and various parts in the world, wild fires, landslides, the prevailing pandemic situation and now what we are witnessing in the world politics and many other.
The magnitude of suffering that all of these events are causing to human is unimaginable. Suddenly then you are filled with gratitude for your privileges and you stay sane and grounded. This makes my seemingly BIG problems absolutely insignificant.
Television is also a source of inspiration. The recently concluded Olympics or the ongoing Para Olympics is a great morale booster filled with stories of passion and grit of winners/participants and their humble demeanor. The stories of selfless service of various kinds by various individuals and communities during the pandemic and many more.
Television is still an idiot box broadcasting a lot of stuff – but I guess you are alert to what you are sensitive to the most. For me I am alert to all that helps me stay grounded and inspired. This then for me is good source of resilience.
What you are alert to is often a reflection of your core values and your core self. Think about it!
