Do you follow a Map or Compass?




I recently explained the fear tactics organizations use against their employees to a friend and her response was: “Well, that’s human nature.” I was stunned momentarily. I had forgotten people are so busy trying to fit-in, wanting to be liked and somehow have to justify other’s bullying style of actions. I also forgot, I had once thought just like her.

Accept your lot or be driven out. Don’t step out of line, follow the map.
Not true.
What was safe is now risky. If you wish to see a ship sink, just stay onboard. It’s coming quicker than you think. The life jacket wasn’t part of the deal. When you hit the iceberg of reality, the comfortable ride is over. 
Sooner or later she will realize it’s time to cut line, jump ship and move on. My hope is she doesn’t follow the masses.

I am hoping she finds her own boat with her own compass and steers the path towards success!

  1. Its amazing how often I run into this same sort of thing. People that I consider of moral character, seem to justify not only bad behavior but immoral, and reprehensible behavior in others. In my experience this week, it was in a discussion about cheating and honesty. Until you can be solid in something higher than yourself, what reason would you have to discipline yourself. Like the old saying goes... You serve what you fear.
    I suggest you choose wisely.

    1. Great point Mary! It's sad how people justify their behavior and believe they only need toanswer to themselves. Thank you, Jim
