The Power of Awareness Is the Ultimate Response to Control


The Power of Awareness Is the Ultimate Response to Control


Hello Reader,

True power doesn't come when we try to control our circumstances. It comes when we master our internal response to them.

The Trump-Musk bullet point mandate isn't a workplace crisis. Instead, it shows our shared addiction to judgment and our collective unconsciousness.

When someone asks us to justify our existence in bullet points, we can rise above our initial reactions.

This isn't about efficiency but about consciousness itself.

The bullet points don't cause suffering; our stories about them do. Organizational transformation never precedes personal transformation.

Shifting from "They shouldn't do this" to "What am I being invited to forgive here?" helps us find a way out of the outrage cycle.

The true revolution isn't in fighting control systems. It's in choosing not to let them control how we react.

We need to elevate our conscioiusness to the level where actual solutions become possible: the level of awareness itself.

With gratitude,

For years I didn't understand what he meant. Then it happened to me. If you've read my posts and comments on LinkedIn lately, you know I've been looking differently at the problems...

The Insane Power of Awareness Hello Reader, What if leadership doesn't start with thinking, but with awareness?The reality distortion field of true leadership isn't about better thinking and better skills. It's about accessing the space beyond our thinking. This is awareness.Most leaders aren't actually leading. They're just thinking about leading, which is why they're mediocre.The most transformative leaders throughout history didn't just think differently.They operated from a different...

The Extraordinary Power Hidden In Your Next Breath Hello Reader, We have an addiction to constant activity. I know because I have lived most of my life this way and everyone I know does too. We equate more meetings, more notifications, more posts, more vacations, and more possessions with more value and more life. I’ve learned something important on my leadership journey. What if this constant motion is just a shield? It may hide a deeper truth: everything we seek could be found in the...
