You don't want your bosses or organization to fail. It's no good. Sometimes (always) we're put into organizations where we can't control the outcome. Arguably, unless we're on top of our organizations, we have almost no control. We might be able to control our system or process or area but if we're not controlling the whole thing (and what would the whole thing even be?!), the organization (and us with it) might be failing.
Managing context and our situation to the best of our ability is critical and sometimes we have almost no choice but to do this. We have the option to influence and partner with the people above us but that might not be enough sometimes. Probably the best thing we can do is to control our own organizations and try to lead more of them. But even then, there's probably no organization without a context unless that's God. It's definitely not you or anything you can think of!!
Survive and thrive in our competitive, connected business and technology world.

No ends
| Pretend that it (and life) never ends. Because it probably doesn't!!! |
Everything is better on a team

| We are not alone until we think of ourselves as such. |
When it comes to sales and selling the same holds true. I like to sell by myself but I do not love it. What I love is the idea that I can sell as part of a team and system, rather than as an individual.
We need to find ways to take ourselves as individuals out of the picture and figure out how we can grow teams around ourselves who love and support us in our efforts and interests.
We need to get excellent at having others help us. The more we can define a process and system for growing, selling, and success, the better off we all will be.
Find God, you might as well

| Find balance and control. Have obsessions but don't let them rule your life. Find God: you might as well. |
If we do choose to have obsessions (or are forced to by whatever means or compulsions), however, we should make sure that they are positive ones. My obsessions, for example, of communicating, thinking, writing and speaking are what they are but I have to learn how to control and monitor them.
I can't see too big of a problem with the obsessions I have but I know I have to keep them in check.
It's probably far better to have passions than obsessions but for those of us who do have obsessions (whatever they might be), we need to be very careful and make sure that we're monitoring them and ensuring that they do not turn into compulsions or become overly consuming thought processes in our lives that prevent us from succeeding in achieving other outside influences or forces.
Finding balance in our lives is hard and we need to ease up on our own minds and thought processes sometimes. Find God, you might as well.
