Synergize for Success
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009It’s amazing to me that we, as human beings, co-habitating on this planet, would ever make the assumption that we are meant to do things on our own. Yet from an early age there is conditioning that starts, whether it be competitive mind-set (“I have to win in order to succeed), scarcity mind-set (“I need to take from them in order to have more for myself”) or fear mind-set (“what if….”). And we all laugh when we see the uber competitive parent on the sidelines of the soccer field freaking out at the players (who, by the way are 5 years old), but, this is really where it all begins. And yet, when we really take a look at life objectively, it’s obvious that we are here to find ways to work in collaboration with one another and in doing so we will reach unimaginable heights.
Today, simply notice your way of being in the world. Do you approach it from a collaborative mind-set? Are you willing to partner up when it makes sense in order to achieve what you couldn’t otherwise achieve on your own? Or do you think you have to do it all yourself? Do you think you’re less than, if you need to ask for help? Are you worried about being judged if you can’t get it all done on your own.
Only by ‘taking the temperature’ of your natural way of operating today, will you know if you have some work to do, in order to see collaboration for the true gift that it is.
Let me know how you do.
All the best,
