What’s More Important, Your Tribe or The Whole?
People in general have a tendency to agree or acquiesce to their tribe or community perception. Going against that view has historically seen you cast out from that section of society.
Consider Snowball in Animal Farm, the Truckers in Canada or people who appreciate law and order.
The leader will throw you out if they sniff any dissenting view, or they can create rules or expectations to follow which their knowing followers can use to sideline people with a diverse point of view.
Here we can reflect on The Ten Commandments, Laws and societal norms of the time. These allow people to shun others who don’t follow the chosen value path.
Everyday you make choices which require you to decide which is more important to you, the acceptance from your valued tribe or taking things a step closer to unity involving both sides, not just one side.
Keep Your Word
Trust is an important social quality. With trust, you can achieve a lot. Though without trust, it can be difficult to do anything. People will not want to hire you, count on you, give you responsibility, bring you into their inner circle or get involved in your life.
Every action impacts trust, so be mindful of the things you say and do.
Keep Playing To Win
Even if things are not currently going in your favour, play every second to win! Keep the winner’s mindset. It can still turn around. There is time. But you need to play every moment like it’s the gold medal match and you are absolutely going to win.
Throw every ounce of energy into your efforts. Leave nothing left over for when you’re done. Never give up. It’s only over when that lady sings.
Until that final whistle, play like an obsessed champion. And one day you’ll be one.
You Gotta Know When To Hold ‘Em And Fold ‘Em
Mistakes will be made. Words will be spoken. Sometimes you’re on the wrong side of the debate. Know when it’s time to pack up and go.
Then Is A Powerful Word
We will go to the store and then…. I bought a new car and then…. The word, then, forces you to use your imagination and visualise the future and the next step.
As long as you can see the next step, you can move yourself forward, progressing toward a goal. So get in the habit of saying “then” and then filling in the blanks as required.
Find Your Inner Strength
It is in there!! You have a lion mode ???? You just need to activate and use it. Build it up like a muscle that you can call on at any time. Unleash the beast at will and become King (or Queen) of the jungle at any time you wish.
History
Learn about history as it will help you understand the developing future. History can be seen in many different ways. How one interprets the past, through their own bias, will dictate the future they will see.
Make Plans In Ink
We often make plans in our head. Which is a good start. Though, for more robust and longer term planning, writing down your plan in ink is super helpful. Try it!!
Get Things Done!
Tomorrow, when you wake up, become a hurricane with huge power and get things done. Move with speed and purpose. Focus on one thing in a sustained direction and then switch to the next thing. Keep going. Make tomorrow the most productive day you’ve had in 6 weeks!!
