Personal Development for Smart People
Significance
People of authority focus on w h a t really matters to t h e m . They don't waste time and energy on trivialities. They recognize the truth that power can be applied to meaningless pursuits, or it can be c h a n - neled toward significant achievements. S u c h people consciously choose the latter, sometimes for the simple reason that it's the path that yields the most g r o w t h . W h a t ' s important to y o u in life? W h a t ' s a relative waste of your time? W h i l e these are decisions y o u ' r e e m p o w e r e d to make freely, the truth aspect of authority reminds y o u that y o u can't escape the conse- quences of your actions. In order to stay aligned with both truth and power, y o u must carefully consider those results. W h e n y o u choose a course of action, y o u also choose the consequences. Your ability to predict the impact of your actions certainly w o n ' t be perfect, but y o u can still make reasonable determinations as to whether y o u ' r e wasting your time or putting it to g o o d use. W h i c h activities are largely pointless? W h i c h ones will have a real impact? You can surely c o m e up with halfway-decent answers without needing a fortune-teller. Authority teaches y o u to make present-moment decisions that y o u predict will have positive long-term effects. There are no neutral actions. If y o u can't honestly predict a positive long-term impact from your actions, admit that y o u ' r e wasting your time, and set some goals that really matter to y o u . There's no substitute for investing your life in something that has the potential to make a real difference. W h o determines what's significant and w h a t isn't? You're the a u - thority here, so that decision is yours to make. Tune in to your feel- ings. Do y o u sense that y o u ' r e contributing to an important purpose? Or do y o u feel empty inside, worrying that your potential is being wasted? W h a t ' s the truth of your situation? C a n y o u feel the difference between the relevant and the irrelevant? 94 |
