What if these were your Ten Commandments:
- No Mutual Mystification!
- What other people think of you is none of your business!
- Here for the experience; live in the moment; just for today (no fear)!
- Keep an empty mind . . . If it is worth taking up the space of your mind, it is worth acting upon!
- No making assumptions or jumping to conclusions. Ask, clarify, or wait for the explanation!
- Prove your hypothesis and validate your learning!
- Pre-mortem; be risk adverse to be risk tolerant (regression to the mean)!
- Only good things happen. Be valuable. Demonstrate your value. Get paid!
- Believe. Demonstrate faith. Trust in your God (higher power). No worries, it’s not your job.
- How can we help you solve your problem or take advantage of your opportunity?
Well, they can be your commandments. Just go right ahead and adopt them. Take, for example, the second commandment. How many true warriors are there who give other people’s thoughts even a microsecond of consideration? True warriors are not people pleasers! Through the living of their lives and the demonstration of their moral principles and skills, people may very well appreciate them, and be pleased. People may very well express their gratitude, but the true warrior does not labour for this vain glory. He labours to demonstrate his true nature to himself and to his higher power. Therein lies his satisfaction.
You are warriors and you will demonstrate the moral values, skills, and the determination of a successful human being. So it is written.
