Shared Success
Shared Success – is it Possible for everyone to have a bit of the pie? My Answer is Yes. Why do we have a scarcity mindset? Why do we believe that for someone else to succeed I must be down and vice versa? In our society, we see people keeping a lot of secrets because they don’t want others to get ahead of them. Now there is wisdom (knowing what to share, whom to share with and when to share information) but what am talking about is “secrets” information that is intrinsically held back because one believes that if they share the information with the next person, he/she may get ahead of them through an opportunity that would arise from that information. A writer meets someone who is urgently seeking the services of an architect who will be paid 10000pounds for a 2-week project. The writer calculates the pay in his/her currency and almost wants to say that they are an architect but are disqualified due to technical. They know an architect friend who is qualified and available for the job but their response will be that they do not know of one such person. They will also not mention this opportunity to their architect friend. The person prefers that they all lose out. WHY? Insecurity, competition and scarcity mindset. The person in question should have realised that they were not in a position to deliver on that work, that they could have been secure about their friend getting the project as they are on a different journey in life each with their own race and lane. They should never even begin to compare themselves for they are not on the same assignment in life. Most importantly, wealth created for one of them can generate opportunities and exposure for many others including the writer in question. The architectural project could create impact in a society or ecosystem and there could be need for a story to be written, the first option of which could be the writer. On the bare minimum, even if there was no direct benefit to the writer, the opportunity would have presented transformation for many which hindered had no effect for all. It is possible for everyone to succeed and contribute to the pie, the pie is big enough for all. Just be secure in who you are, understand your assignment and the unique calling for each one and we all will find our cog within the wheel of Life – Be Timeless Today!
