We are a group of young men who come together in the pursuit of leading the best possible life, and becoming leaders and role models. We read and discuss some incredible ideas and find social applications for all levels of psychology, biology and evolutionary studies. we try to find the best way to remain true to ourselves while inspiring and leading others, and today I have found something for all of us...
This is a lecture i orginally found from ted.com by a man named simon sinek, explaining his new tool for communicating and operating in a way that will inspire others. If you want to lead naturally this is the way to do it, watch the video and read on after.
this is the difference between a leader and a follower-
For some reason, youtube embedding won't work so here is the link-
If you follow his method of communication, he is basically telling you to manipulate people. Manipulators play off people's emotions to steer them towards rationalizing a behavior they otherwise wouldn't do. I'm not saying its right or wrong, but that is how you do it.
All of that aside, you can apply this in a way which will genuinely better your life. If you live by your "why", your driving force, or as he puts it "why do you get up in the morning?" then you'll have a much better chance at being yourself and inspiring others.
As I see it your why should be as simple as possible, a one word idea if possible, or a sentence, but this is YOUR defining statement so whether you want it to be 1 word or 8 pages long, it is up to you. your "how" will be broad ideas on how to live and your "what" will be specific things that you do and ways you behave.
So here it is, my golden circle:
WHY:
-to be the best I can possibly be, in order to achieve more and live a full and rewarding life.
HOW:
-staying healthy
-staying motivated
-staying focused
-learning and knowledge
-continuously improving
-having strong connections with others
-happiness
WHAT:
-working out
-eating right
-reminding myself and meditating on my goals as often as possible
-always be reading something, i will always be in the middle of a book and have a book i plan on reading when finished
-study and maintain good grades
-focusing on finding and fixing my weakness and reinforcing my strangths
-treating others ethically, and respectfully
-maintaining a positive outlook
-staying grateful for what i have
-staying confident, yet humble (when i pray for what i want for myself, i also thank god immediately after for all that i already have and all that i have achieved)
I would like you all to post your golden circles below if possible, this way we can all help each other to live by our driving forces and you can help yourself to find a clear direction to head in, where others will follow.
