Power vs. Leverage In Martial Arts, it takes quit

Power vs. Leverage

In Martial Arts, it takes quite some energy to move around and plan attacks. What is a mark of a better fighter is understanding how to leverage the moves of your opponent to your best advantage.

This also moves to the level of executing career moves, getting involved with ventures and building a network of relationships.

Power-hungry people never get enough and they eventually are exposed for the bullies they evolve into. Focusing on the best outcome you can generate from a current situation by remaining still an being mindful of everyone's needs and want and the value you bring to the table gives you the best outcomes:

You achieve maximum retention of energy, you can use this energy and time somewhere else

You keep your standards high by removing yourself from situations and walking away from relationships that doesn't serve your best outcome

You become more friendly to yoyr aurrounding as you compete and force less and give and serve more where and when you have the leverage that's more likely to lead to the best outcome.

Day #1: Embracing Wabi Sabi while working remotely

Day #1: Embracing Wabi Sabi while working remotely

Especially at the age of #WFH and #RemoteWork, keeping a perfectionist mindset gives everyone hard time!

Wabi Sabi is the japanese concept of embracing the beauty of life as imperfect, impermanent and incomplete as it comes.

Products are never perfect, you can always spot the top three imperfections in any service. You go choose to go into war with the world or just take it as it is while doing what you can to offer the best experience.

But can you tell that to my client? Can you tell that my CEO or HR Director?

Actually, yes. I would love to.

Now, would be a good time to pre-order them a copy of Remote Work Confidence and get them to Wabi Sabi as well.

"Do not leave your hard catch to the sharks" She

"Do not leave your hard catch to the sharks"

She was scared of sharks. Spearfishing that day, she made a fine catch, though a shark just popped out of nowhere and out of all the fish in the ocean, he wanted to get that easy catch, that's already caught.

She had two options. Give up to her fear of Sharks and let go of her catch or hold on and just pull. The downside, the more ahe pulles, the more the shark got closer to her. Finally, she secured her catch and the shark went away

I am totally inspired by this story I just learnt about in a documentary "Fishpeople Lives Transformed by the Sea" ...

It got me thinking of how many times I might have let go of things that I have already caught with the labor of my hands, feet, brain, heart and energy because I was afraid of facing the sharks, or even thinking that "the sharks" must get it anyway.

But not today Sharks, I am pulling my catch all the way and you'd better not to turn that into a fist fight.

If you want to measure the degree by which you can

If you want to measure the degree by which you can reach effective leadership positions, test your limits to how far and how often you go through and handle conflicts effectively.

Conflicts are one of the inevitable realities of our life, and we can choose to create our own bubble and let people step over us however they want or we can create strong boundaries and move on and/or move into RAGE once these bou boundaries are crossed.

Many "agreeable" people that I get to meet and coach are struggling with the need of finding the balance between asserting themselves into the world and not settling down for less than what's best and fair for them and taking other people's needs, emotions and wanta into consideration.

If you self identify as a "disagreeable" person, you don't need to worry about this for the most part as disagreeable people have a "myself first" attitude all the time.

I was telling a friend of how pissed off I was as a result of an i teraction today and their response was just: You did what is right? Yes, then "fuck them."

Finding the fine balance and adjusting our interactions is essential for a balanced exchanges with our surrounding. Our committment should be to this balance not to each individual interaction, if someone is "creating noise" beyond what the practical situation calls for, then I will lend you myself to share the f word.

Imagine having the expectation and responsibility

Imagine having the expectation and responsibility of being at your Sharp/Active/Assertive/Energetic state most of the time?

It comes naturally to some people some of the time - when there is a practical need for it (e.g. hosting an event or workshop, leading a meeting, closing a sale). But being expected to be at your "Alpha" state all the time could be very daunting and gets many people to turn into "A**holes" as they program themselves to exaggerate everything all the time.

That's why it's best to store your "peak emotional state" energy and anchor yourself into it whenever the situation calls for it.

What ideas, thoughts and techniques are you currently relying on to manage your emotional state and reach your peak moment whenever the situation calls for it?

How far are you willing to take this? Are you read

How far are you willing to take this? Are you ready to take it all the way? I definitely am.

Persistence and an attitude of "taking it all the way, going the extra mile" is probably one of the most underrated and overlooked qualities as society still demands of people to "show off" their successes while stories of persistence and extreme measures - during the phases in which results are not very obvious - tend to inspire more of "smearing" other than genuine encouragement and grounded belief.

"I divorced my husband just before his business really launched"

"I sold my partner out when things slowed down, I tanked and they launched"

"she seemed too passionate and illogical, there were no way what she intended coud come into fruition, I had to pull the plug, she still went ahead with her vision and made it work, I do not know how"

These are som of the statements you are less likely to hear though you'd be surprised of how frequently these stories are repeated compared of - you know what stories.

If you find within yourself the attitude of "walking the extra mile", I heartfully salute you.

If you are wondering whether to take this project, business or sale to an extra mile or remain where you are, you know what I would advise.

P.S. I recorded this video message three times for 2 days, everytime the recording is lost due to battery or network. I had to demonstrate my own persistence in composing and posting the message again, right from the edge!

The reality of the world is, no matter how careful

The reality of the world is, no matter how careful and sophisticated your dealings are, unless you figure out someway to forgive and let go, you will end up living in hell. And I am talking about "practical" matters before personal ones.

An old and wise, 70-year old friend of mine used to answer: "you never know, you never know" when I needed to pick their brains on the potential of a new partnership, a new hire or a resolution to a conflict.

"People are fragile, it's not even logical, they could be your friend one day and your foe another and vice-versa".

And it is true, as much as we go through things and phases, people also go through the same. We can never have and should expect many of other people's actions to go outside our expectations and realm of control.

Sometimes there won't be a remedy to a situation except letting it go, with our best trial on forgiveness, open arms for hugs and a truthful smile of appreciation.

The older we get we learn that "there are no justified resentment" and "resentment is for losers". We would be better pursuing a bigger action other than reflecting on a deep violation and it's our duty to upgrade our knowledge and downgrade our expectations for the following round of connection.

"Engaged but not attached" is the ideal mindset for us to interact with the world, as we fully engage in the present moment while releasing attachment to outcome and to the people we are expecting or hoping to do it with.

Every night you breath out the toxic resentments of the day and every morning you let the sunshine in as if it's your first day ever and as if nothing happend yesterday.

What's you story wih resentment and letting go? And what are the rituals you have internalized to maintain that?

"Do Not go gentle into this good night... Rage ..

"Do Not go gentle into this good night...

Rage ... Rage, against the dying of the light..."

Rage is often viewed as undesirable though in certain situations when we are being manipulated into accepting certain soon-to-be-realities as they are staged and hinted at and not rolled out immediately, we surrender into a form of slow death...

I have learnt to rely on the rule of three once someone is manipulating my boundaries by implicitly changing the terms of an agreement, a partnership, a relationship or even a service.

A certain actions is done once, you take a mental note but no action still, it happens a second time, you zero in, detect and analyze, it is done a third time and everyone have to get ready for a serious conversation.

Are you trying to say xyz?
You do not like the direction this project is taking?
Are we talking about the term #12 in our contract here?

If we accept situations once they are staged into existence, we will eventually become "losers" in all fronts.

It takes courage to go through a business pivot, a negotiation, even honest conversations leading to termination or breakup. This courage also needs to be exercised to allow our natural expression of rage...

I am not sure about you, but If I have to choose between being a "pathetic loser" or being "In Rage" once my boundaries are crossed. I choose the latter.

"Do not go gentle into this good night...
Rage ... Rage ... against the dying of the light..."
