What Are Your Words of Wisdom for Life?
Imagine you’re invited to impart a few words of wisdom about how to have a good life. These would be maybe three simple fundamental truths that you have learned matter most. For sure, they will not always be easy to follow, but when applied, you know they work in powerful ways.
Think about it. What would you advise?
I’ve read many such examples of wisdom summarized; I’m sure you have too. Here’s one I recommend you consider today, from a guru that influenced many American seekers, named Neem Karoli Baba. Very amare, very challenging, very impactful.
- Love everyone.
- Tell the truth.
- Don’t be afraid.
Three Essential Amare Leadership Skills NOT for the Faint of Heart
1. Love everyone. Imagine loving your competitors, or even people you hate. Can you? When you see a little of you in them, and them in you, it gets a little easier. Practice. Polish your mirror of self-awareness and you will find compassion for those you can’t stand, and eventually space to love even them.
2. Tell the truth. Explicitly make this one of your organization’s core values. Let people know truth is expected, always. Demonstrate telling the truth in difficult situations – and surviving! Know this is not an excuse to be mean or harsh. Do it with compassion.
3. Don’t be afraid. Train yourself to recognize the brief instant after you experience something that might scare you – when your adrenaline is flowing but before your fear response has kicked in. In that moment, you can make a choice to not be afraid, for fear is always a choice. Build this skill in your workplace and magic will happen as fear disappears.
