LAWS OF LIFE & WORK

Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough.

Elon Musk – CEO of SpaceX & Tesla

I like work, career, and job lists.  They distill experience.  They are a quick read.  There’s the ‘ah ha’ moment with things that move you.  I can refer to them.  Also, they’ve been vetted and filtered through VUCANs’ life experiences.

Philip McGraw’s Ten Laws of Life struck me as write on.  I start the book with ‘getting it’.  By the time, you’re through with the book, you’ll encounter many if not all of the Ten Laws of Life in self management, RBPS, and RBDM.

Go over each one of these and see which ones fit you in COVID time:

  1. Either you get it or you don’t.
  2. You create your own experiences.
  3. You do what works for you.
  4. You cannot change what you do not acknowledge.
  5. Work rewards action.
  6. There’s no reality, only perception.
  7. Work is managed, not cured.
  8. You teach people how to treat yourself.
  9. There’s power in forgiveness.
  10. You have to name it before you can claim it.

Work Lesson Earned What have you learned after the COVID pandemic? Add to the above to your self management questions ‘It is what it is.’  If you don’t understand or like the ‘laws’, find out why.  If you don’t a ‘law’, do what works for you or in other words ‘adopt and adapt for yourself.’
