RE: The Alpha Wolf Series: Presence and Social Leadership Part 1 - Two Sides of the Same Coin
Good post. There are profound differences in these two different views on the purpose of life and the means by which happiness and success can be fused. I have always favored the view that adheres to an introspective existence that can lead to personal improvement. A minor flaw in this approach (there are many good qualities) is the feeling of constant personal construction. Always striving to improve implies that you are a constant work in progress and the goal of perfection will always remain elusive (because we are flawed creatures). Upvoted and followed.
I appreciate your kind words and thoughtful response. In my opinion, once you get too attached to the outcome of perfection, you leave presence by constantly think about future expectations and are less happy. Life has a tendency of giving you the struggles you need to grow, and then rewarding you with progress once you've struggled enough, and when things are going really well, the struggle hits you yet again. Life is constant highs and lows that trend upwards, but if you're persistent, you'll get to where you're supposed to go. Don't forget to savor the path you're on no matter how tough it gets. You only live once ;)
Very true. Attachments is one of those concepts that I am aware of, but it is a struggle to not find myself attached to certain things. I am better at non-attachment when it comes to somethings, as opposed to others. Valuable feedback, thank you.
