Recruitthebest Daily Digest- Facing Your Reality

Your reality is your own reality. You are the only one who can change it.

Don’t just talk about it. Do something about it.

Machines wear down and die. Living systems, if they learn and adapt, do not.’

A healthy living system is an intelligent learner. It can adapt and survive even though its environment is moving toward increasing disorder. But it must be actively engaged and aware, never losing focus on its environment. Failing to pay attention and adapt is a prescription for death.’

Sane leadership is the commitment to create the conditions for the finest human capacities- generosity, creativity, kindness- to blossom, protected from the external environment. It is the deep knowing that, even in the most dire circumstances, more becomes possible engage together with compassion and discernment, self-determining their best way forward.’

‘Once a system has tipped, it cannot reverse back to its former state. We need to learn to live with it, to adapt. And this is not always possible.’

Life Is Not About Speed. It Is About This

Life is precious. Life is a gift, a gift from God. Life is not about speed. It is more than that.

Life is bigger than us. It is bigger than you. We know that. You know it.

We can’t take care of everything. We can’t control everything. We can’t control life. But we can control our lives.

How do we control our lives? Simple. By taking care of things we can take care of. By taking care of our thoughts. By taking care of ourselves. By taking care of where we are. By taking care of what we are doing. And by taking care of our choices.

Do not forget that life is about choices. You are responsible for your choices.

Whatever you get, take it. Because you are responsible for your choices.

If you do not like what is going on in your life, if you are not happy, take action to make things better. That is the only thing you can do for yourself.

And it is not coming from anyone. But you. Do not ignore it. Do not put it away. Do not try to talk yourself out of it. It is not going to go away.

Remember, nothing changes by itself. If you want change, act. If not, then don’t.
