Choose Collaboration—Not Conflict

Did you create a conflict today, or did you create collaboration? Were you warm and friendly, or were you angry, upset, and resentful? Did you generously tip someone, or were you upset that you didn’t get the service that you felt you deserved? You have the ability to understand your own duality and begin to live in peace, in the present, in the moment, and in the now instead of holding on to the past that creates rebellion and nonconformity. There’s nothing intrinsically wrong with being a nonconformist, but it’s time that you channel that energy into productivity, passion, creativity, collaboration, and the ability to connect with people.

Rather than alienating people, it’s time to connect with people. I recently had someone come up to me at an event and say, “So, is speaking and coaching all you do?” This person was putting me in a position where I would have to defend myself and validate my existence and what I do. But instead of falling prey to the rebellious procrastinator (because I’m a recovering rebel), I said, “What does that mean?” And the person said, “I, I, I, I...I didn’t mean anything!”

I’ve learned, as a recovering rebel, not to take situations like this personally. I’ve learned not to set myself up for failure. I’ve become conflict conscious, meaning that I’m able to spot conflict. This is a skill that you can choose to develop too. You can learn to recognize those who are attempting to draw you into conflict. You can let go of being right so you can be rich. You can develop the ability to step into the present and recognize when that situation occurs. Instead of stepping in another conflict, you step back, and your whole awareness, your whole energy, your whole being, and your whole presence begin to change.

When you live this kind of an inspired life, people want to be a part of it. If you are a rebellious procrastinator, you can rejoice in the fact that you can find an outlet for that angst, that energy, that rebellion, that nonconformity, that juice, and that desire.

You don’t have to be a victim. You don’t have to be a procrastinator. You have the ability to become a producer, to become someone of influence and affluence. You can become a role model, a mentor, a messenger, an ambassador of change. You can become a pastor, a minister—anyone whom you think people look up to instead of look away from.
