Always pushing

We're never satisfied,  always stepping it to scary new levels - anyone is capable of anything at any time - good or bad.

How do you manage incompetent people?

All back to the boss (I am a boss) you can break up workers into a couple of category styles.

Motivation
Do they run towards something? OR
Do they run away from something?

Working style.
Do they want their job to reflect their identity OR
Do they want to just pay the bills?

Behavior style.
Do they like to think OR
Do they like to do.

The best bosses and businesses adapt to the styles and strengths of the people they get OR are great at recognising the right attributes for the right positions in the first place.

Most people don't know how to answer this,  but the question should be asked 'what do you want? What do you value'.  For most milenials it's not money,  hell it's not even less hours,  it's autonomy and purpose 'what I do matters to me and others, I make a positive difference' but some just want a golden path to money - they may not be a team player but some of the hardest workers if you dangle the carrot and manage their style.

Do you agree when you know you're wrong?

There are so many people concerned about defending and protecting their feelings that we rarely stop to think that we might already agree with them.
S. Phelps

If someone criticised you,  had you actually already throught the same thing? Why is it OK for us to be hard on ourselves then when someone else says aloud what we think,  we defend ourselves instinctively.

Chinese finger trap

We can't get ahead,  because we're so busy trying to get ahead.

Procrastinate

“Most procrastination is caused by either fear or conflict,” says Christine Li, a clinical psychologist specializing in procrastination. Even if we’re motivated to accomplish a task, fear—of failure, criticism, or stress—pits us against ourselves. We want to finish the project, but we also don’t want our fear to become reality. “This conflict makes it seem like it would be unwise or even impossible to move forward,” says Li, “which explains why we sometimes procrastinate even when it makes no sense to do so.”

Just do something for 5mins,  and if you feel like stopping after that,  you can.

For those who have anxiety, here's how to silence it!

Remember Anxiety doesn't know the future - just what it is afraid of. "Nothing dangerous is happening right now" is a good reassurance

Is peace, peace?

You cannot truly appreciate peace until you have been immersed in disharmony (to put it politely)
