Do jobless people study just for the sake of increasing their capacities? Answer that for yourself. Can you remember the day that you did not have a job? Did you engage that incredible time in study?
Unfortunately we burn our books whenever we are through with school. Study is seen as some kind of sentence that we break free from. If you are a jobless person, or if you knew one, I can tell you that study is one of the most potent ways of dealing with joblessness.
Listen to this.
When a person decides to take up on the title of "Jobless", quite a number of things happen. Chances are that the level of activity in their lives would diminish. Chances are that they will feel dis-empowered and unmotivated for life.
I think the identity that we put on ourselves determines how our life will turn out. For example, if a man decides to see himself as a steward instead of "jobless" at least at the identity level, things will change. One of those things will be an increase in activity in their lives. See how this helps. Listen.
We see people in the twilight of their years forming organisations and foundations that they can use as a conduit to help society. Somehow, we feel like we can only be of help to society when we are old and have accumulated resources.
But being of service to others can be one of the greatest weapons that a jobless person can use to alleviate their situation. There will always be someone that you can help. You can complain about your torn shoes until you meet the person who doesn't have feet.
But first, it's not good to accept the "jobless" title. Listen to this.
The person who is jobless is by definition someone who is not engaged. On paper, let it be so. In reality, to be disengaged is one of the greatest disservices that you can ever mete on your life.
A disengaged mind, heart or body is simply a recipe for death. The biological term is called "Apoptosis". In essence when the brain see that the body is disengaged, it send signals to the rest of the body that they are no longer needed, and that's the process of death in reality.
Don't call yourself jobless. Call yourself a steward and by so doing, get engaged. Listen to this.
If you give two people in the same situation an opportunity to rise out of it, the perspective that either of them will adopt will be critical to the transformation that they will have.
If you are jobless, you can decide to call yourself jobless and have a mental assent to it. That will most definitely define what you will do with your situation.
However, if you are jobless and you decide to see yourself as a steward, it changes everything. A steward will be hawkish about the way they spend their time consciously. That person will be easily delivered from that scourge than someone who decides to accept their fate. Listen to this.
