new beginning new direction

Goals? smart goals? breakthrough goals? most recently in the new book of Margaret Wheatley, perseverance, there is a page about “destination” that i found was particularly relevant for me.  ”most of us think we know where we are going. Or at least, we think we should know where we are going…/.. we could lighten up – we could go for direction, not destination. We could invite in what the world seems to want for us, what it’s offering us right here, right now.” The invite for me is to reduce the stress factor in my life.  To find a place of peacefulness.
What if we could reduce the overwhelming stress factor? what is needed? what do we need to reinvent day after day to make our working voyage happier?
i am convinced we can invent new working environments more meaningful and where the sense of direction is correlated to our purpose. What do you think? what do you sense?

DRiVE, The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, © 2009, by Daniel Pink.

In our changing new world, a refreshing look at how to reincorporate autonomy, purpose, and mastery as essential domains to boost motivation. The old formula based on the carrot and the stick does not work anymore.

A quote from DRiVE that I liked: "The shrewdest enterprises afford employees the freedom to sculpt their jobs in ways that bring a little bit of flow to otherwise mundane duties."
