I think all of us can agree to some extent that we need a relational and societal reset. We have moved off course and it is causing significant challenges to our quality of life.
I submit that this reset must happen from within as each of us take personal responsibility and accountability to see it happen. I have chosen this to be my passion and purpose and have a clear picture as to how we might cause it to take root.
Who goes first? It is difficult to bring about change if you think you are the only one and you will be alone in the change, so there must be a strong motivation that causes us to move past it.
For over a decade now, I have been synthesizing the interests of the collective with each of our personal and professional interests. In other words, how do we cause positive collective change by assisting individuals to live their best life and achieve their highest aims.
My answer is tribal consciousness and I am dedicated to furthering it in the context of this conversation.
Your tribe will be your greatest asset or most depleting liability, and you get to choose which. This means we must develop our art of choice. To learn to allow and tolerate less and to choose more, but to choose with wisdom. This is tribal consciousness.
You only have so much time, money, and energy, especially time. I believe deep conscious work begins with our reverence for the time we have. With this reverence comes the practice of the stewardship of our resources.
Our tribe is the people, places, and things that we frequently interact with and developing tribal consciousness helps us to choose where we invest that time, money, and energy to live our best life, achieve our highest aims, and make our greatest contribution to society.
