Ek weet nie van ’n mens wat hom/haar nie bekommer nie. Ons kyk soms na mense en dit wil voorkom asof hulle geen bekommernisse het nie maar diep in hulle gemoed dra hulle soms baie swaar laste. Wat help die mens se bekommernisse? Wat verander die mens se bekommernisse om die probleme op te los. Hoegenaamd niks! Die uitwerking van bekommernisse het gewoonlik tot gevolg dat mense se energie getap word en dit lei dikwels tot allerlei siektes. Medici beweer dat ’n baie groot persentasie van siektes stresverwant is. Luk. 12:24-26 Kyk na die kraaie, want hulle saai nie en hulle maai nie; hulle het geen voorraadkamer of skuur nie, en tog voed God hulle. Hoeveel meer is julle nie werd as die voëls nie! En wie onder julle kan, deur hom te kwel, een el by sy lengte voeg? As julle dan selfs nie die geringste kan doen nie, waarom kwel julle jul oor die ander dinge? Jou bekommernisse steel jou blydskap. Jou bekommernisse sê ook “God is nie in beheer nie en Hy sal nie vir jou sorg nie. Paulus het hierdie waarheid neergepen: Hand. 20:24 Maar ek bekommer my glad nie en ek ag ook my lewe vir myself nie dierbaar nie, sodat ek met blydskap my loopbaan kan volbring en die bediening wat ek van die Here Jesus ontvang het, om kragtig te getuig vir die evangelie van die genade van God. Hoe kan ons getuies wees wanneer ons bekommernisse so duidelik in ons lewens is? Hoe kan ons van God se getrouheid getuig wanneer ons in die grond gedruk word deur ons laste? Ons kan nie! Wanneer ’n top atleet aantree vir bv. die honderd meter resies dan het hy/sy die ligste van klere aan. Ek het nog nooit iemand met weermagstewels en ’n rugsak sien aantree vir ’n kort snel wedren nie. Hoekom? Hulle wil nie enige ekstra gewig of hindernis hê wat hulle spoed kan affekteer nie! Heb. 12:1, 2 Daarom dan, terwyl ons so ‘n groot wolk van getuies rondom ons het, laat ons ook elke las aflê en die sonde wat ons so maklik omring, en met volharding die wedloop loop wat voor ons lê, die oog gevestig op Jesus, die Leidsman en V oleinder van die geloof, wat vir die vreugde wat Hom voorgehou is, die kruis verdra het, die skande verag het en aan die regterkant van die troon van God gaan sit het. Bekommernis breek jou spoed en tap jou energie. Spr. 3:5 Vertrou op die HERE met jou hele hart en steun nie op jou eie insig nie. Ken Hom in al jou weë, dan sal Hy jou paaie gelykmaak. Wees nie wys in jou eie oë nie; vrees die HERE, en wyk af van die kwaad; dit sal genesing wees vir jou liggaam en verkwikking vir jou gebeente. Groete in Sy Naam. Ds.

Chances are, they’re not. According to a study done by Dale Carnegie Training, three quarters of employees reported they don’t feel engaged at work. But one of the biggest factors that made people feel engaged was a positive relationship with their immediate supervisor. Managers have a huge influence on how well employees perform — and the results are not always based on whether you crack the whip or offer the best rewards. Often, it has much more to do with interpersonal relationships. So how can you cultivate more engagement and success from your team? Try doing these five things every single day: Lead by example. As a leader, you’re always being watched. You could view this negatively, or you could see it as an opportunity. Employees feel resentful when they are asked to do things they believe their superiors would not or could not do, so walk the talk. This goes not just for work tasks but also for attitude; if you’d like to cultivate a more cheerful attitude in the workplace, start by being more cheerful. Ask questions — and listen to the answers. Nothing will breed resentment and disengagement faster than the proverbial “suggestion box” that never gets opened. The best leaders regularly talk to their employees and ask what’s going well and what’s not. When you get feedback about something that isn’t working, really listen to it, take it to heart, and decide how you can respond. It may be that you can’t immediately make a change (for any number of reasons) but just letting an employee know that they’ve been heard and that you’re taking their concerns seriously — not simply paying them lip service — is important. Give constructive feedback. No one likes being told they’re doing something wrong. But people do like to know if there’s a faster/better/easier way to accomplish a task. Sandwiching constructive feedback with praise is another good habit that will help employees feel both appreciated and supported. Actively build your team. If you’re not thinking about how to build or grow your team when you’re not actively hiring for a position, you’re missing a key component of being a strong leader. Look for ways you can mentor, teach, and train your existing staff to grow beyond the skills sets for which they were originally hired. And when it is time to fill a position, fill it with care, seeking not just a warm body to fill a chair, but the right combination of personality and skills to be an asset to your team. Take care of yourself. As part of leading by example, take the time and the effort to take care of yourself. Exercise, take breaks, and make sure you get enough sleep. If your team members see that you prioritise self-care as a means to better productivity, they will do the same. If you doggedly work through lunch, work late, and cram in extra work on the weekends they may feel pressure to do the same — even when science shows that taking appropriate breaks will make everyone more focused and productive. These tips may seem simple, but if you actively build them into your days, you will find that you become a better leader — and by association, your employees become more engaged, more productive, and happier as well. What would you add to this list? Do you have a daily habit that has helped you become a better manager? Please share your experiences for the benefit of others in the comments below.

You know, where you feel sorry for yourself and think the world owes you something. But, sometimes I do lapse and come up with the pathetic refrain, “Why me?” Of course, when I step back and have a look at my life I see that it is fine. In fact, I’ve been given more than my due. Goodness, I could have been born in the dark ages. If you lived beyond 30, it was a miracle. I’m 52 in July and rather spry for my age, even if I say so myself. On the rare occasion that I do feel sorry for myself, I look for people who have overcome bigger odds than I’ll ever have to. It helps put my lot into perspective. I doubt I’ll ever have to face what American bombardier, Louis Zamperini faced in World War 2. He survived 47 days stranded at sea by catching and killing hungry sharks and drinking the warm blood of albatrosses – only to be captured by the Japanese and horrifically tortured for years in their most brutal POW camps. Let’s consider 17-year-old Juliane Koepcke, who in 1971 was flying over the Peruvian rainforest with her mother when her plane was hit by lightning. She survived a 3,2 kilometre fall and survived more than 10 days alone in the jungle before she found help. Closer to home I look at Billy Selekane www .billyselekanespeaks.com, who eked out a living on the streets of Tembisa in his bare feet. Today, he is one of the top professional speakers in South Africa and a best-selling author, who has been inducted into the Southern African Speakers Hall of Fame and received the Distinguished Tembisan Award for achievement. Battling to study? Take a leaf out of Africa’s greatest explorer, Scot, David Livingstone’s (1813 – 1873) book. At the age of 10 he began working at a local cotton mill. He went to school each evening for two hours after a 12-hour shift at work. Thus, he learned Latin, Greek and mathematics and won a place at Glasgow University. Or take Jean-Dominique Bauby who when he was editor-in-chief of French Elle magazine suffered a massive stroke which left him with locked-in syndrome. He wrote his memoir The Diving Bell and The Butterfly by blinking his left eyelid. He wrote the entire book in 10 months (four hours a day). It went on to become a number one bestseller across Europe. Its total sales today are in the millions. On March 7, 1997, two days after the book was published, Bauby died of pneumonia. What makes these unique individuals different to those of us who moan and complain about our lot? Let’s unpack some of their traits. They don’t have a victim mentality. They don’t believe that this world or anyone in it has a custodial duty towards them. They take 100% responsibility for their actions. They make a firm decision and then act on it 100%. They don’t deviate off the path. They have a compelling vision that keeps them going. They have what is called, true grit.
