mind noise and the walker way for silence and personal power by Chris Walker

I'm presenting you today a short discussion on the art of leadership. I hope you enjoy it. What is leadership? 0:13 Well, a leader drives transition. I think we've given enough rhetoric to the concept of leadership to know that if you Google leadership tomorrow on Google, you'll get around 5.8 billion hits and everybody thinks they tell the right time, but let's look at leadership in a fresh way.

vision that flows - the art of leadership by Chris Walker

A “fixed mindset” assumes that our character, intelligence, and creative ability are static givens which we can’t change in any meaningful way, and success is the affirmation of that inherent intelligence, an assessment of how those givens measure up against an equally fixed standard; striving for success and avoiding failure at all costs become a way of maintaining the sense of being smart or skilled. 

A “growth mindset,” on the other hand, thrives on challenge and sees failure not as evidence of unintelligence but as a heartening springboard for growth and for stretching our existing abilities.

You are being paid and rewarded to deliver. Delivery diminishes with stress. Stress is a short term necessity, but a long term life and delivery killer. You are not being paid to be in sustained worry, anxiety, uncertainty, loss, fear, agitation, because these things make your contribution less productive and unsustainable. 

Mind noise therefore  will, as we have just noted, ruin your career, health and interpersonal relationships. This is why the process of WALKACHI, is a daily seven step process to both pacify stress, prevent sustained stress, keep the future clear, adapt to change without loss.

Having long reckoned with the relationship between cynicism and hope, I often say that cynics — who are the people most deserving of our pity — are just brokenhearted optimists. There is both a lovely confluence and a lovely inversion of these in the assertion that “hope is optimism with a broken heart,” which seems to me more like an aphoristic spear nobly thrown at our perpetual tangle of semantics in trying to differentiate between optimism and hope than a genuine and useful definition. But, of course, we each arrive at these notions so trapped in our own frames of reference, so saturated with our subjective experience, that no two portraits of a mental state or emotional orientation could ever possibly be precisely alike.

What is certain is that no matter what we call this openhearted yearning for betterment, pulsating beneath it is the infinite vulnerability of remaining unmet — all daring is forever haunted by the spectre of crushing disappointment, and there is nothing more daring than a reach from the real to the ideal.

And yet this yearning springs from our most fundamental nature. Living with it and living up to it is the highest homage we can pay, and must pay, to the unbidden gift of life.

With an eye to “the necessary and urgent need to love life and one another, despite the casual cruelty of the world,”

And if you've talked to your partner about it, probably told you to calm down, go to yoga or meditate, that there’s nothing actually wrong with you, and you ought to take a holiday or change jobs.

Oh, they may suggest cutting back on work or exercising more.

What if I told you it was all lies?

What if I told you there was something wrong inside you?

Even more shocking, that it's not your fault.

WE judge others in order to be safe. But it’s not. Every judgement we make locks us into a cycle. WE judge in others what we don’t like or love in ourselves. A vicious circle. Career or Lifestyle … your choice is limited…. let’s explore…
