Do Not Be Controlled By Your Need to Feel Significant


Transcription:
Harrison believes that one of the most important things to any human being is to feel important. We all have the need to feel significant and this need is something that really controls and governs many of our lives. You need to choose how to control your mind.  When you are looking for a job, the most important thing you can do is move away from being attached to the need to feel significant and move, instead, to a position where you are not attached.

Being focused on the work is incredibly important.  Being focused on your own significance is attachment, and all attachments eventually result in disappointment. People who are focused on the work rise to a higher level while those focused on their own significance never make it.
 
We all want to feel that we are unique and special in some way.  This makes us feel as if we have a purpose and meaning for our lives.  One of the largest challenges of our lives is making sure that we do not meet our need to feel significant in a way that is destructive.  For example, many people in their need to feel significant will try and be critical of others.
 
You need to understand that your need to feel significant is something that controls your life.  The best thing you can possibly do for your career is detach from this need to feel significant and realize how this is controlling so much of what happens to you.  More importantly, you need to do the work you love and live the life you want without being controlled by a need to be significant.  This will change everything for you and allow you to contribute to the world in a productive way.
