Sure you’re smarter, better educated and have more experience. But that also gives you biases, blind spots and sometimes a dismissive overconfidence. Other times you might just be defending your position or that of your tribe.
Are you looking for solutions? Are you looking for improvement? Are you willing to be given insight that you were not aware of, missed. Or overlooked?
it’s time to listen more. You’ll be better for it.
At any moment, with any situation, there is usually someone having an even worse time of it.
Be thankful to even have this opportunity. Don’t squander it!
State your case with benefits to all, not just you. How will this solution help all the other people involved? The more you help them win, the more likely you are to win.
You need to adjust when life changes. If you get a diagnosis, your body changes, or there are external factors, you will need to change the way you do things.
You may have to change your diet, medical interventions, pills, exercise, route to work or your whole life!
Regardless, we are adaptable if we want to be. And we will survive. So start adjusting.
Push through if you must, and it’s critical. Otherwise click the light and say goodnight.
When there are too many choices, and you didn’t arrive with a specific one in mind, you can be paralysed with indecision.
Narrow it down quickly to three by selecting your favourites and/or deleting the least liked by you.
Make a list of all the benefits of those that remain. Best one wins!!
If only perfect people can be heroes and have statues built for them, we will have neither. The current push by some for perfect equality, perfect communication and perfect decisions is likely to destroy the humanity in society.
If people get cancelled, excommunicated, destroyed, and expelled for imperfect thoughts, actions and impulses, people will shrink into the shadows and take fewer chances with anything.
Play this out till the ultimate conclusion and there will only be a handful of hypocrites remaining as they wouldn’t dare cancel themselves. If you don’t see the game evolve several moves ahead, you will likely find that checkmate is in your future.
If you say you can’t, ask yourself why..is it pride, stubbornness, laziness, childlike petty resistance, other? Tell me in the comments.
We’ve all probably had those moments where we are shattered, almost beaten, exhausted and forlorn, yet we rose up and keep pushing through. Find your under strength, even if you’re running on fumes.
It happens. Accept where you are. Move on!
