- Lesson 24 🧩
This week, I’ll keep it brief.
you have a (MIS)match 🧩
1️⃣ A PROBLEM: A does not equal B
I see this so often.
In myself.
In the media.
In the people around me.
In people I’ve never met.
Politicans.
Celebrities, etc.
People say one thing and do another.
It’s exhausting, and I often find myself wondering why we as people are like this.
POV: you remember we are like this
2️⃣ A REALIZATION: impact > intention
🙋: “I want to hire someone with experience and creativity that brings a new POV.”
also 🙋: Just hires their friend from college anyway despite meeting no requirements.
🙄
They say “the road to Hell is paved with good intentions” because your impact is always greater than your intention.
We often have ideals. Dreams. Aspirations.
What you mean to do is important. Intention IS important, but ultimately if your goal is to help 5 people and you hurt 20 instead? The impact takes over the intentions, no matter how good they were.
Bringing impact and intention close to equilibrium requires ACTION.
You often need to repeat action and do it consistently over time (AKA a routine).
Your routine has to match your intentions to bridge the gap between your current state and what you SAID you were going to do.
( 👇️ highly recommend this one if you need some tough love 💗 )
It’s okay to say things in good faith.
However, when your actions don’t match your words? All you’re doing is brewing mistrust
look at you, brewing all that mistrust! lol
and that creates a (MIS)match
3️⃣ A SOLUTION: recalibrate
It’s pretty simple.
We often say we will do something and then:
totally forget
do the opposite
fail to completely do the thing
My solution? Recalibration.
As people, we are often quick to throw out promises, goals, or ideas.
Take 5 minutes each week to recalibrate:
Take stock of the things you want, need, and said you would do.
Identify you recent actions
Discern if those actions will likely lead to the outcomes from #1
For any actions that are working, keep them going.
Wherever you have a (MIS)match, RECALIBRATE by adjusting your approach.
Until next week,
you can take a break and the world won’t fall apart,
your enemies are one thing, but your jealous “friends” are more dangerous,
& always remember that YOU are the only you out there ☁️ ✨
