Ego, Waiting on the world to change, and more..

John Mayer once said in his song Waiting on the World to Change "When you trust your telelvision, what you get is what you got. When they own the information they can bend it all they want." So, what does this have to do with our jobs, our internships, etc? Pretty much everything. Most of our lives we are so influenced by external factors and fail to look for answers in the most obvious place, inside ourselves. I recently picked up a book by Eckhart Tolle, called A New Earth: Awakening to your Life's purpose. What amazed me about it his how much of our lives are driven by our ego on an unconscious level and how we give meaning to everything, including success and failure. But if we can get to a place of peace in our mind without these labels, we have achieved the ability to be successful far beyond just finding the right job or the right internship. This is the level that allows us to excel and really shine in any environment. This is my latest revelation. More internship-specific stuff tomorrow.
