The Imagined Life

In life and in love and in business, we all need to use our imaginations to their fullest extent. If we are good with numbers, then we see life in numbers, angles, and measurements. If we are good with art and ethereal design, then we see life in splotches of color and in shapes which travel through walls and travel through time. However we view life, it must be done with our imaginations, and that vivid perspective is a huge step toward making sure that we get our goals accomplished exactly as we want them, and not how someone else wishes them to end up.

The imagined life is the life in which we have complete and total control. Unfortunately, many people who abuse alcohol or drugs find themselves in a life where their imagination is shot, their faith in themselves is shot, and the idea of turning their dreams into reality is completely gone. The imagined life is only for people who can keep a steady and realistic head on their shoulders and progressively move toward an object for which they have prepared themselves already.

Substance abusers come across the heavy and rather large obstacle of imagining dreams in which they cannot see themselves succeeding or imagining fantastic worlds which they cannot see themselves actually creating. Either the imagined world is lacking in substance, or their ability to turn it into reality is lacking in faith in themselves.

For your employees, you want people who look at their jobs and see new ways of doing old work and see innovative ways to solve problems. You don’t want to see workers who have given up on themselves and on life. Implement workplace drug test, and you might as well use Mediscreen which is NATA accredited for this. We are NATA AS4308 & AS4760 accredited Australia wide, and we run a leading mobile drug and alcohol testing service for every business and every worksite location that your company can possibly obtain for itself. We are good at our jobs, and we have plenty of imagination to fuel our scientific and screening work and our customer service with your business.

The Death of a Loved One

drug testing experts

When someone important in our life dies, we are in a state of timelessness. Time stops, time does not go on anywhere around us, and our lives are put on hold for a while until things begin to hit us with reality again. This is how the funeral industry is so rich. We make our decisions for our loved ones while we are in this stupor of timelessness, and are completely unable to make rational choices for ourselves or other people.

The death of a loved one may also bring on a drinking binge or drug abuse binge, just to prolong the lack of feeling. For, as we all know, when we come out of that stupor, life, reality, and all of the pain hits us in the face like a brick wall traveling toward at freeway speeds. Therefore, when people do start feeling the pain of a lost loved one, this hurt is so bad that they will do anything to get rid of it, even resort to short term drug or alcohol abuse. Now, all of this sounds very reasonable, except that the need to hide the pain often turns into a long term situation.

You see, hiding from the intense pain of something, rather than choosing to feel it as it’s happening in real life, really delays the pain until another time, a time when you are even less able to deal with it than you are right now. So, for that reason, doing something to delay pain will only cause you more pain in the end.

This is not to say that anyone in their right mind goes through this rational process when they are dealing with the death of a loved one. They merely react to the situation, however they do it, and it may be in a healthy way or in an unhealthy one, and there is very little that you can do about it. However, if you run a company in which this person works, you may want to keep an eye on them, particularly the results from your drug testing program. In this respect, you will need a reliable company like Mediscreen, NATA accredited for workplace drug testing, and a leading collection agency in Australia.
