Anon, regarding this comment:
Can I get a job at that bank? I usually work no less than 50 to 60 hours a week and that has been for many years. And we do have budgets to meet, payrolls to keep within budget restrictions set to meet profitability, net interest margin, ROA, ROI, ROE goals that allow us to remain competitive and stay in business.
It's nice for management that you have taken on all those goals yourself, but unless you are part of senior management those are not your goals, just delegated goals. My compliments to your management team for being able to create the illusion that you also have those goals as a worker bee. But all you are is a worker bee on a well torn path.

Why the dreary, depressing outlook on things?

Reality has no feeling, so if you view this as a depressing outlook, you are not dealing with reality as it is. If it's not your reality, it doesn't concern you, so there is no need to comment.

I'd say that "anonymous" has no feelings......how sad to resort to that kind of life.

Or living life anonymously. 
90% of the "registered" users are anonymous, Brigette. What is your last name, email, company, etc. At least you put your first name on your profile...many don't even do that.

REALITY HAS NO FEELING!
Actually, Anon, I agree with you that Reality has no feeling. In and of themselves, facts are facts. But humans do not live only in a world of facts. If they did, life would be boring and very machine-like. I think that is the entire premise of this thread. The facts say otherwise, but determination and challenging the status quo are part of human nature. It's why we have America in the first place. Reality says that no group of Colonists can survive the cold, hard winters. They did, and succeeded. Reality says it's crazy to challenge the British Empire. It was done, and successfully. Just a thought.
You've, once again, missed the point - Reality has no feeling - other than the feeling the you elect to give it and at any time you can elect to give it some other feeling - but reality continues to be reality, regardless of how you elect to "feel" about that reality. It's the feeling part that causes all the pain in life, professionally and personally. Reality does not say a thing, it just is and if it's your highest purpose to live with reality to achieve a worthly goal, that is what you do, but that does not change reality - although you may change your view of reality through a willful experience.
Reality is always right.
I heard a true story about a woman who lived in a San Francisco apartment and left a suicide note there. The note was found by police after her death.
The note said that she was going to walk toward the Golden Gate bridge and if no-one smiled at her along the way she was going to jump off. And jump off she did.
At the level of existence where it appears that we make "choices," the universe is a responder. It responds to us; it is a perfect mirror of us. The universe was waiting for her to smile; then it would smile back. It has to, because it is we ourself—part of the same process, like the turning of the earth that produces both night and day.
"The flying geese have no mind to cast their shadow; the water has no mind to give its reflection." —Zenrin
Existence is a mirror. Whatever vibration we're putting out gets reflected back to us. If we smile at others, they smile back. If we scowl at others, they scowl back. If we're in love with the universe, we feel loved back. It all happens instantaneously.
In that respect I disagree with the idea of karma. Karma exists, in my opinion, but it happens instantaneously. It is always paid off at the instant the debt is incurred. The very act of being brutal to someone shapes us, molds us in that very moment to who we are. The act of being kind to someone also shapes and molds us—and our experience of life—in the very process of being so.
Everything we do has an instantaneous feedback inside of us that not only shapes and molds who we are, but deeply affects how we feel about life. As part of that process, it affects our view of the world. And of course, our view of the world is the world that we get to live in.
Nothing above is meant to make, say, a cancer victim feel guilty. This is not a "We create our reality" kind of thing. "We" don't even exist as a personal something; with what are "we" going to create?
No, it's more subtle than that. Essentially, everything we do is controlled by how we "choose" to see it. At the deepest level everything is being done by the one energy and there are no "choices" whatever, but at the level where we appear to be personal beings making "choices," the really core choice is how we choose to experience what happens.
That in turn has a lot to do with surrender. It has a lot to do with acceptance, love, gratitude for this existence just as it is, in all of its splendid and necessary duality. Even the duality doesn't actually exist, but to our human minds it appears that existence contains endless duality—good and bad, beautiful and ugly, up and down, light and dark, summer and winter, on and on.
When we love and accept the world as it is, we are loving and accepting ourself at the same instant. Because there is no separation—the world is us, we are it, it is us, it is itself—"choose" your phrase.
So, if you are feeling dissatisfied with your life or your current situation, "try" asking yourself these questions: Who do you think is running the show? Where do you think your real security is coming from? Do you trust it/you or not?
Of course, if you realize your own non-existence, the whole issue of security immediately goes out the window. Because who is it that's supposed to be made secure? The question becomes unanswerable, because you forget to be concerned with asking it.
Again, this doesn't mean that we don't "take action." We might very well be a whirlwind of action, but we also see that there's nobody doing anything. It's all just happening, by itself, as itself.
Reality becomes awake to itself when we become awake to it. We, as it, are also the vessel through which "it" moves.

Don - now you are trying to control what happens on the couch? When it comes to the couch, the subject may not be the subject at all. Stick to what you know.

Actually, I am management.
I think you do need to get your prescription refilled.
But not SENIOR management and it's a lot easier to take on goals that are not directly assigned to you.
The second statement is the calf path, following the lead of posts above your, all of which I don't understand, but I do recognize the source.

You go Kath. Someday I’ll be a SVP, but right now I’m just a lowly Assistant VP (or worker bee in Anon’s world). Actually, I didn’t have much to add to this thread, as entertaining as it is though. I really just wanted to get my 100th post.

Well, here we have it - a Queen Bee!
But, since this is about life after banking, keep in mind that come the first sharp drop in temperature and frosts the old queen, her workers and the independent drones will die. Only the newly mated queens will survive in hibernation to begin the cycle again the following Spring.

Ray, while I wouldn't dream of suggesting that you stop your irrational, ridiculous and mostly annoying posts, you might consider avoiding the direct attacks on people. You might even consider getting some help (or medication) to help your outlook on life. Just a thought...
