It is amazing and funny what God makes us do or leads us too!
If you asked me a year ago if the highlight of my day was reading learning about God i would have laughed. Or preparing a case (laughing out loud), this is even funnier.
One of my favorite phrases by Edward Burke, "All that is necessary for Evil to Triumph is for GOOD people to do NOTHING."
God Sees the Beginning to the End! What I suspected to what I had come to know.
Corporate and the Rat Race. I am writing and thinking. If I understood the full picture, would I have done anything. If I had seen the beginning to the end!!Probably not! No definitely not...
I without a doubt would have kept quiet and walked away silently like everyone else does.
Turning a Blind Eye:
Let's take up the challenge not to turn a blind eye to things that are immoral, unjust and evil.
"People may be right in their own eyes,
but the Lord examines their heart.
3 The Lord is more pleased when we do what is right and just than when we offer him sacrifices.
4 Haughty eyes (an overbearing sense of self, a proud and arrogant heart, and evil actions (are all sin)
5 Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.
6 Wealth created by a lying tongue is a vanishing mist and a deadly trap." - Proverbs 21:2-6
The Notes below are taken from this article.
We explore the Jezebel archetype and its relevance in understanding the challenges and pitfalls that can arise in the modern business world.
The Seductive Charisma of Jezebel:
Jezebel possessed a charisma that captivated those around her, enticing them with her charm and persuasive abilities. In the corporate realm, individuals with similar qualities can rise to prominence swiftly. Their charisma often serves as a mask, concealing hidden agendas and manipulative tactics. Recognizing these seductive qualities is crucial to avoid falling prey to their influence.
The Lure of Power and Ambition:
Jezebel's insatiable thirst for power and her relentless pursuit of personal ambitions led her to exploit and manipulate those around her. In corporate life, such individuals can be found, driven by a desire to climb the corporate ladder at any cost. They often prioritize their personal success over the collective welfare of the organization, creating toxic work environments and fostering a culture of cutthroat competition.
Machiavellian Strategies:
Jezebel was known for her cunning and calculated strategies. She employed deceit, manipulation, and even violence to achieve her goals. Similarly, in the corporate world, individuals may resort to Machiavellian tactics, undermining colleagues, spreading rumors, and sabotaging the success of others to secure their own positions. Identifying and countering these destructive behaviors is essential to maintain a healthy and cooperative work environment.
The Subversion of Ethics and Values:
Jezebel's disregard for ethical standards and her promotion of idol worship challenged the moral fabric of her time. In the corporate world, we often witness instances where the pursuit of profit eclipses ethical considerations. Companies and individuals may compromise their principles, engage in unethical practices, or turn a blind eye to wrongdoing, all in the name of success. Guarding against this erosion of values is vital for sustaining long-term prosperity and fostering a positive corporate culture.
