A short motivational YouTube excerpt (by James Laughlin) arguing that individuals should do ongoing personal-development and leadership “reps” while they have the capacity, so that when overwhelming forces (e.g., extreme weather, conflict, life stressors) arrive they can rise above reactive shutdown or armoring and respond effectively.
We will start to see just the kind of thing we're already starting to see where overwhelming kind of forces sweep across our lives. Whether it's literally the weather or conflict, just we start to get overwhelmed. And when we get overwhelmed in that old kind of way of being, we tend to shut down or we arm up. You know, we try to defend ourselves. And those instincts are understandable, but ironically, they don't actually serve us. And so anytime, you know, we have enough abundance in our lives to work on advancing ourselves and our own leadership, we got to do it, because it's like you got to do the reps so that when that wave comes in, your life impacts you deeply, you are ready, and you are able to rise above it.
