Today I’m gonna show you how to do determine what’s right if you’re not exactly sure about what’s wrong.
Here’s How To Do It
- Learn Social Constructs
- Embrace Maturity
Learning Social Constructs
What’s a social construct? It’s everything if you’re someone who cares about being right or wrong.
I tend to stay away from labeling things as right and wrong when trying to navigate through this thing we call life.
I’m that way because the goal post for what falls in both categories seems to constantly get redefined.
It actually parallels plenty of stories that we could dissect in sports where athletes who had absolutely no business succeeding in their respective sport, but did so after they learned how to truly be compliant with the governing body that they wanna operate in.
It’s a rules exploration! Learning how to play by the rules creates your boundaries and from there, the exceptionally talented people find ways to think creatively enough in a way that they eventually transcend the data that’s already recorded in the history books.
If you’re concerned with being one or the other, understanding the rules puts you at ground zero. From there you can take it another level and create separation from competition through building a reputation for doing whatever the job is exceptionally well.
Embracing Maturity
Deciding on what’s right and wrong has to be done with embracing a mindset of maturity.
There’s a moral ground that you eventually have to deal with when determining who’s in the clear and who’s not.
Being mature is more of a compilation of your values and things alike that’ll keep you solid throughout any areas of confusion that may arise.
Let’s stick to our role example that we made with the previous section.
If you’re the person making the rules, these are foundational points that should eliminate ambiguity.
You’re gonna know that you’re in the best place because you’re gonna feel strongly about each reference point you made.
I say go with things close to your values and such you hold near and dear to your heart because you’re gonna have an emotional tie that you’re willing to stand behind when push comes to shove.
That’s maturity because you grow as the results start to come.
Each moral win becomes a resume in a way that validates the very rules you contributed to.
