Lessons in Leadership IX – Rules and the Way to Overcome them

May 23rd, 2009 > Ziad Khalil Abu Zayyad

In order to prevent chaos, humans tried to set rules for life. We are taught that rules are for our benefit and to prevent us from harming ourselves and others. However, the real challenge is finding a way to use laws and rules for our benefit instead of making them obstacles in our way to do whatever we want to do.

This does not mean that we want to create chaos or rise against the rules. This is old fashioned and never worked. First of all we must start with ourselves; we need to be convinced that no matter what is standing in front of us we can do what we want to do. This is a central belief which you have to hold inside you if you really want immunity against the obstacles and difficulties that not only you but all humans face in life.

Start by considering life a journey which will finally end. Through this journey you need to set goals and interests which you want to get. Usually we judge our efforts in the result which we get from everything we do; if we fail then we start to blame ourselves and if we pass we enjoy the success for a few moments and forget to thank ourselves for what we did. The truth is that we will never succeed if we do not fail. Failing in something could become a motive for use to succeed in more difficult missions.

The success which we get is supposed to be for ourselves and not for others. However, most of us consider the opinion of others more important than what we really want to do. This is the biggest obstacle in achieving anything. In order to become stronger and to succeed we need to forget about the audience and concentrate on ourselves. By teaching ourselves about the importance of this matter, our immunity will become stronger. However, we should remember that no one is completely protected from failure and that there is always a chance that we may fail in what we do. This does not mean that we need to surrender to what happens to us, but indeed learn from everything that we pass through in order to achieve complete victory in the next time.

Usually rules and laws are written by individuals who rule whether in politics, community, economy, or even smaller things. The good thing is that even strong people are cautious to write rules which can be used in every situation for their benefit. Therefore, the secret is not in rising against the rules, but in finding the way to turn them to serve you instead of preventing you from doing whatever you want to do.

In order to be ready to work hard and search for a way to use these rules, you need to be mentally ready to pass through all the difficulties and see the solution and truth which you wish to see. This may sound different from what you are used to hear but this is the strategy which you need. Create your own world and live in it if it will serve you to feel that you are safe and ready to launch all the skills you have in order to create something new in your journey that will not last forever.
