Humans were a very lucky
species. We've been given such limber bodies, mental capabilities so
far beyond the average animal, and an ability to overcome anything that
comes our way.
So why do we continue to
hinder ourselves and our own fulfillment beyond what we are capable
of now?
Why have we let our societies
dictate what can and cannot be done? Why do we impose a structuralist
regime on our own brethren who are trying just as hard to extend themselves
into the outer limits of what we can do as a race?
Ever watch a leader-less
team in action? They function at such high intervals that the need for
a leader is nearly a moot point - simply because they all know what
to do and are ultimately responsible for its outcome on a mutual
level. We as a human race have seemingly devolved into one that
always needs a leader or guiding figure to "show us the way"
when we are fully capable of achieving things ourselves without the
blind pointed finger of someone who has the internal audacity to think
they are "better than us".
This type of structuralist
and longing for that helping hand is putting a kink in what many organizations
are attempting to achieve. Many a time a manager gets frustrated whenever
someone constantly comes to them for help, yet are always the first
to tell people how to do things without the person in question having
a chance to experience it themselves. Self-discovery soars much further
than by the meagre hand of someone else.
By constantly holding hands
of people, you're preventing them from being able to be self-sufficient
and self-reliable to the point where they will be fully capable themselves
to hunt and fend for themselves.
Skills and potential are
being suppressed, and ingenuity is being annulled simply because of
the structured mess we've imposed on ourselves for centuries of existence.
Let's change that today.
You'd be amazed at what you can do if you simply just do it without
any regrets.
