Deploying yourself: Strike Hard, Try Everything

Bennis tells us that “what we do is a direct result of not only what and how we think, but what and how we feel” and that reflection gets to the heart of the matter and the truth of things. In this journey where we’re learning about the world and about ourselves, deploying ourselves becomes part of this knowledge we are so frantically searching for.  In this context, reflection and resolutions steer us in the right path. Unfortunately, it often takes failures and loss of important things or people in our lives to force us to sit down and do it when doing it when you’re in control would have been the best approach. Gloria Steinem and Gould told us that too much intellectualizing tends to paralyze us, but, how do you reflect without intellectualizing? I have to confess that this really puzzles me! It is said about reflection that it is to be conscious of a process and doing it well. Once this is completed you can develop your own perspective, figure it all out by testing and measuring them. This will allow you to develop your vision, your desire along with the ability to make things happen. Desires keep you restless until you satisfy them and move on to the next great thing or desire. Your goals keep you going, get you on the edge and practicing them help you master the task at hand to the point where it becomes obsession and routine. Now, at the top of the mountain you have climbed using all the assets you were provided with, strike hard, tried everything, you can really truthfully affirm and proved that you have fully deployed yourself and are ready to move through chaos.
