(We are happy to reproduce this email from the famous inspirational writer and resource person, Robin Sharma. See the six attitudes he stands strongly against. – Editor)
I’m not anti-many things. I do my best to live peacefully, to salute the gifts in others and to tread the earth with light footprints. I’m sure you do the same.
Yet I do believe there are a number of things that we—if we’re sincerely interested in a life of success and soulfulness—should fiercely resist. And protest.
Please allow me to share six of the primary ones:
- Be Anti-Average.Who wants to follow the herd when it will only lead you off a cliff. Stand for higher standards than the crowd chooses. Abide by the wisest values (including honesty, courage, patience, understanding, mastery and kindness). Select activities that fuel your joy and accelerate your growth. Push work that is masterful. Exemplify possibility.
- Be Anti-Superficial.What an era we inhabit! 10 second videos of people dancing are consumed by millions yet too many of the heroic books remain unread by most. Be a contrarian. Go deep versus really wide. Have rich conversations. Think interesting thoughts. Apply rigor and excellence and carefulness to all that you do. Be a heavyweight in a culture gone ultra-light.
