Today we are living in a world in which keeping our relevance is kind of a way too chaotic. The ‘surplus society’ has a surplus of similar
people, with similar educational backgrounds, coming up with similar ideas, producing similar things, with similar prices and similar quality. It looks an ideal terrain of no choices, but to keep juggling between a dozen of challenges seeking our attention and draining our energies.
The way to survive and thrive is to act like classical heroes, who are called upon to undertake a quest, and must journey into the unknown along uncertain paths, facing obstacles and difficulties. But thanks to their powerful initial calling, they persist and become heroes when they reach their goal. You need to act with your heroic trait and get through these passing obstacles to turn them into the opportunity.
1) Discover your true calling, acquire the skills and hone your talent so that you can accomplish your vision
2) Ensure that you keep following the path and no draggers and braggers steal you away from your core values
3) Upgrade your capabilities to stay relevant with the market reality. Nothing other than heavenly pleasure is attained while living in the silos
4) Mistakes and failures happen. Learn from it, respond rapidly and take the first step towards the road to recovery.
In this storm, it would be useful to have a compass that clearly indicates priorities, and discover the approaches that will work for you. This way you will avoid the mistakes others have made, that have led them to distress.
