What does it communicate to a child in school to require them to ask permission if they need to use the bathroom? It never occurred to me while I was in school, but this seems like an evil thing to do.
Do you make your child do that at home? Why not? Don't you want them to be a responsible, mature human being like they say the goal is at school?
There's a reason we don't treat our own children this way, and the reason is because it's a disgusting way to treat another human.
"Oh, Jason, calm down, it's no big deal!"
That's usually the response you hear. But the time is long gone for being calm. Now we're just gonna start talking about the truth as we see it. Why not? Life is too short to be a sheep.
What does this have to do with business?
Everything. Because children grow up to be adults. And those adults don't forget the lessons they were taught as children. While they don't forget them, most of them do become INVISIBLE. And that means that you end up thinking, speaking and acting in ways you didn't deliberately CHOOSE, just in ways you were conditioned.
This is how you control the masses without prison bars. There are technically still "bars," they just aren't physical. They exist in your mind and in your emotions.
What this training we all received does is make you blind. You think you can see, but you can't. What you can't see is anything you were trained is "off limits."
Think about all of the things you do in your business and your life that you haven't consciously chosen. These are the things where, if I asked you WHY you're doing that, you would have no good reason except something like, "well that's just how it's done."
School is a training program for conditioning your response to authority. If we take those "lessons" into the business world, we will have a hard time. Because in the business world YOU are the authority. You have to be. Or no one will listen.
For most of us, there are serious invisible obstacles that keep us from realizing our full potential in business.
Have you ever left the house without your driver's license? What's the feeling you get when you realize it when you're 30 minutes from home? Were you BORN with that feeling? Of course not. That was conditioned into your reality. And you accepted it and made it real. And now that programmed response runs without your conscious awareness. Oops.
That's an obvious one. There are plenty more, far less obvious, even invisible.
What is the solution?
Step beyond the conditioning by figuring out how to reconnect with your own TRUTH. You've got some, it's not quite the same as everyone else's. And should you be able to bring it back, out into the open, you will stick out like a diamond at a coal convention and show up in the world in a way no one else is.
You were conditioned to fit in, which is the exact opposite of what we need to succeed in business.
The A.I. hype is making humans realize how important real human connection is in their life. When you step out of your conditioning and start thinking, speaking and acting like the real you, you insulate yourself from ever being "replaced" by some pile of GPUs in a data center.
Start looking closely at what you're doing every day. Is it really YOU or were you just taught to be that way?
