Carol Glover - "The Maverick Maker"’s Post

The USA Olympic basketball teams demonstrate what the make up of a high functioning work team looks like. A group of individual contributors who are really good at what they do, without too much overlap. A selflessness to help elevate each other, but ready to execute when called upon. A leader that can take the blame for the team, while finding ways to help the team execute more efficiently. Time to develop as a team and a trust in the process to get there.

Mentoring Matters Did you know that there are 3,140 first-gen students at the College of Charleston? Come join us tonight at 6:30pm ARE YOU A FIRST-GENERATION STUDENT? If you’re not sure, you’re certainly not alone. While roughly fifty percent of students nationally identify as first-gen, many are unaware of their first-gen status until they reach college, which can make accessing resources difficult.  Learn More: https://lnkd.in/emn49Zd4

What is going on here

Don't let yourself be impressed by your ego which either underestimates or overestimates you but in any case distances you from who you really are with shocking arguments to destabilize you. It is only provocation because your ego is the voice of the past which continually tries to impose itself on you in the present for fear of disappearing. It makes you experience the present as a regret of not having done to be or even as a hope of having to do to be! You are thus diverted from reality as it really is to live either in the past or in the future but never in the present! But everything happens in the present, the rest is just an illusion invented by your mind to create a distortion and distract you with the frenzy of its thoughts. To live the present, the most important moment of your life, the only one where you can really decide, choose and act, come back first to the present moment by bringing all your attention to it through all your senses, and not just the view of your mind which has in fact taken over all of your perceptions through your different sensors to reduce it to what it knows, the limits of your knowledge and by extension of your beliefs. Once you go beyond these limits, you enter infinite space, you are back home, where everything becomes possible on your own path from which you were left when you were still innocent! You were forced to follow the beaten path made of standards that could please as many people as possible. Indeed, an illusory reality has been invented to continually distract you so that you turn off and no longer use your super power that you are if you are as you really are! So it's time to come back to yourself and open up to the world so that the energy flows unhindered so that it spreads through your light to illuminate the world with its abundance in diversity and in unconditional love! You are a spark of love, set life on fire so that it illuminates humanity with all its intensity, now! You are the world and the world is your reflection! Create your path, the world needs you as you are!

When supplier takes care of his customer not only in formal way...

I say something like this all the time. Anyone can show up to a party; everyone is in for a good time. It’s the real people who keep the lights on. The same can be said of leaders. Real leaders allow you to have boundaries. Real leaders hear you when you say being a parent first is a priority. Real leaders empathize with you when life is hard and support you. Real leaders ride the bus.

Many of us are supposedly in the 'top 1%', and I guess we could be called 'elites' -- born this way, or ambitiously self-made -- therefore as a global class we must be willing to be the most self-critical in the first instance, if any discussions arise about stemming social inequality. Many insecure people are actually eager to uphold a hierarchical society; e.g., anyone seeking status via 'costly signalling'/ heroic consumerism are doing just this (whether they are conscious of this, or not). But the paradox is, it's likely to be only the elites that will be able to engineer change. I believe it will be the people who have both been working people AND elite in their own lifetimes -- one and the same -- who will have the most both-ways empathy and governing intelligence, here.

Absolutely ❤️ and you must decide to get out of your negative conditioning which advocates competition by default subject to comparison! This state of mind pushes you to always want to be something other than what you are without really ever enjoying what you have! It’s a drama that plays out every day before the eyes of each of us without there being any real reactions or at least very few! So choose gratitude rather than desire and love who you are as you are to return to the present, the only moment in which you can act, in other words the most important moment of your life! It is now that you can decide to no longer want to change for the sake of being but to be who you really are for a change! The more you disperse yourself in the hypnotic and futile distractions in which you find yourself today, the more you sink into the trap of illusion which constantly distances you from who you really are. And the more distracted you are, the more reality distorts to lock you in the contradiction between who you really are and who you would like to be! You suffer and are conditioned to live with a feeling of guilt for never being good enough to deserve the abundance and beauty of life! This causes negative energy that impacts the world as a whole, the world as it is today. Observe, this is an indisputable fact! Yet you are endowed with a formidable positive energy once you have broken the ice of lies that condition you. Go beyond, without expecting anything, explore the unknown after having gone beyond your knowledge which limits you to what you know while space becomes infinite once you have freed yourself from the chains of your beliefs. There is no path you can take to escape the confined space that holds us all prisoner and only you yourself can create the path to get there. Life has endowed you with all its power, unconditional love, so that you can move forward on your own path, the only one that suits you! Any other existing direction is a sham and leads you straight into the same dead end, invariably. So, choose, decide and act for a world such that it is truly made of abundance in diversity, a world free and full of joy where everything is always possible! Be who you really are without worrying about the rest and let the magic of life work to open up the unknown to you, without any expectations! Trust yourself and be full of love for who you really are, move forward on your path and reflect yourself in all forms of life to recognize yourself there! You are the world and the world is your reflection, humanity needs you, your particularity makes it all! Realize the miracle that you live, you are this miracle, life! So live ✔️

The most evolved way of speaking is without words. Connecting vibrationally is something our ancestors did but as we didn’t nurture this super power, we forgot we had it. Then we forgot that we forgot. And so we lost this gift. We live in a world where we are unable to communicate effectively with our own Self. More often than not we don’t even listen to our Self and our true feelings and desires. We listen to what we ‘should’ do and what we ‘should’ feel. It’s no wonder we are unable to communicate with others. Misunderstandings occur because we are not listening. First listen. Drop into feeling, be aware of your vibration. You will recognise whether there is a mutual understanding with another. Or not. …less words more feeling.

Be yourself and follow your path! Don't put limits or deadlines on yourself so you can be who you really are and move forward on the only path that suits you, yours. Don't postpone anything until later because the future doesn't exist! It’s an illusion to distract you from the present, the only reality there is! Let yourself be guided by your intuition which is in tune with the movement of life! Your intuition whispers to you in the silence of your mind the direction to take to create the only path that suits you, the one where you encounter the magic of life in full action. This voice comes from the heart of your being and it is the essence that animates you. Don't resist and don't let your mind take over because it isn't aligned with who you really are. You are not your mind which is conditioned by standards, creating de facto an illusion which takes you into a dead end inevitably ending in a wall, a wall which is nothing other than the limits of thoughts or beliefs. Do your best to listen to your heart and above all have the courage to move forward on your own, off the beaten paths on which the masses clump together to get lost in the blur of illusion! You will have the impression of going against the tide but it is quite the opposite! If you accept life as it really is, it takes you beyond these beaten paths which are only the dictates of thoughts resulting from conditioning. You find yourself beyond what you know in a space of pure energy, infinity, where everything is always possible. This is the meaning of life, so trust yourself and step away from pseudo guides who are only impostors trying to impose their own points of view, only fueled by their ego. Come out of the shadows, let the energy flow through you, without forcing anything to want to resemble an illusory ideal invented by thought to reassure as many people as possible. Be who you really are, you can't be any other way. You are a being of light who pushes back the darkness to reveal the abundance and beauty of life which is renewed every moment in unconditional love! Be present in the present, it is the miracle, and you are that miracle! Realize it, you are the world which is your reflection, Humanity needs you as you are! You are the richness of life in its diversity, because you are different!
