The world today is more complex, stressful and demanding. The transition from Industrial age to the Information/Knowledge Worker Age, a new challenges and problems come into the individual life, families, organization. Changes in society, the way they operations where made, from manual labor to digitalized global marketplace.
Few of the most common human challenges human being face during his existence:
Fear and insecurity: Most of the people fear about the future, afraid of losing a job and how they could provide to their loved ones.
“I want it now”: People want thins in an instant. They want money, houses, cellular phones, car etc even it is not necessary. Some people will live not with their incomes.
Blame and victimism: When problem arises, the people start on finger-pointing on the other person, blaming the colleagues not thinking of what he had done personally. Society will thought that they are the victim of the tragic situation. “If only…If only my boss wasn’t such a controlling idiot…If I hadn’t born so poor…If I only live in a better place…If only I had the intelligence of my classmates…If only.” Maybe by blaming other people gives us a temporary relieve of the situation. It is a choice of every individual to blame and make the problem worst or just humbly accept the responsibility for the circumstances face and courageous to take whatever initiative to create or solve these challenges.
Hopelessness: Some people will lower themselves and feel hopeless, especially when they are surrounded with many bright, intelligent, talented people, they sometimes feel discourage. Think that you are a creative force on your own, a unique individual who can do something that anybody couldn’t do.
Lack of life balance: The technology society is increasingly complex, demanding, stressful, and absolutely exhausting. These things when not use wisely could absorb our time not cannot work effectively and feels fatigue after work. The problem of the culture today is that the people will go earlier, stay late, be more efficient, sacrifice for now but the truth is that a balance and peace of mind are not produced by these; they follow the person who develops a clear sense of his highest priorities and who lives with focus and integrity toward them.
What’s in it for me”: The culture today teaches that an individual must be number one in all aspects. “Life is a game, race competition, and you better win it.” Classmates, schoolmates, work colleagues, even our loved ones are seen as competitors, the more they win, the less there is for you. Some people are generously appreciating and congratulating with a cheer happy appearance but inwardly and privately they are jealous of the accomplishments. But the greatest opportunities and accomplishments of the Knowledge Worker Age are reserved for those who master the art “WE.” True greatness will be achieved through the abundant mind that work selflessly- with mutual respect, for mutual benefits.
The hunger to be understood: People wants to heard and understood by other people, they want a voice to be respected, valued and influence. Our culture demands for understanding and influence. The principle of influence is governed by mutual understanding born of the commitment of at least one person to deep listening first.
Conflict and differences: Though people live in one world, some live in the one country, one community, one family but they are so different. Each individual think differently, different in goals, values and motivations. Conflicts may arise from these diversity.
Personal stagnation: Human beings are complex individual with four dimensional-body, mind, heart, and spirit.
Body: Culture teaches the people to maintain lifestyle with treating the health problems with surgery and medication. Continue smoking because their will be a cure for it. But the principle is to prevent the disease and problems by aligning the lifestyle to be in harmony with established, universally accepted principles of health. “Prevention is better than cure.”
Mind: Culture teach to watch television, computer etc “entertain me” but reading is much more important by just watching them, our brain is compose of two hemisphere, if we keep on watching television it could alter the function of one hemisphere of the brain which is making imagination.
Heart: Culture use relationships with others to forwards your personal, selfish interest but the deep, respectful listening and serving others brings greatest fulfillment and joy.
Spirit: Culture yield to growing secularism and faultfinding but recognize the source of our basic need and seek the positive in life and believe the source of everything which is God in Heaven.
