Word of the Week: Unite

The word of the week is Unite! To unite is to come or bring together for a common purpose or action.

Given the results of the US election we are even more divided as a country than predicted.

There is a problem well beyond this election.

The divide is not new and it will not go away anytime soon regardless of the President.

One of my mentors, BedrosKeullian shared this message:

“The problems that most people have right now will not go away. They will still be there. And they’ll be there for the next election if you don’t listen to what I’m about to say next.
The election doesn’t dictate your success.
YES, I worry about our country.
YES, I worry about the erosion of our rights.
YES, I worry about the future of our nation.
BUT, I know I’m in control of a LOT more things that will impact me and my family than any president will ever be.
Here’s the facts…
Whoever is the president won’t make you an “overnight” success or a failure.
The person who can make that happen is YOU.
This election is a distraction.
It’s a distraction for your business.
Your family.
And your goals.
I share this with you because people can’t stop talking about it.
Biden this.
Trump that.
Enough with this sh!t.
I’ve made millions under Obama.
I’ve made millions under Trump.
And if Biden gets into office I’ll make millions there, too.
So can you.
Regardless of who’s ass is sitting in the White House, your success is up to you.
It’s YOUR responsibility.
Right now is the time to focus on the things you can control… your health, your mindset and your money.
Focus on closing out the year strong… and then take that momentum into 2021.”

Regardless of our political affiliations, we have to figure out how to reduce the divide and unite.

Let’s communicate better, not judge and practice the 5 Agreements:

The First Agreement – BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD

o          Speak with integrity and say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

The Second Agreement – DON’T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY

o          Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.

The Third Agreement – DON’T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS

o          Find the courage to ask questions and express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

The Fourth Agreement – ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST

o          Doing your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are tired as opposed to well rested. Under any circumstance, simply do your best and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.

The Fifth Agreement – BE SKEPTICAL, BUT LEARN TO LISTEN

o          Don’t believe yourself or anybody else unconditionally. Use the power of doubt to question everything you hear: Is it really the truth? Listen to the intent behind the words and you will understand the real message.

What can you do this week to unite yourself with others you don’t agree with?
