The Secret Sauce Is... "not forcing action against resistance".

I am focused on my work. All the comments that I received in a private WA group was about the work I was not even related to. I sometimes feel, why and should I get back to them.
But then I remembered, you cannot force action or force people to change, you can only keep yourself aligned to purpose, creating your identity, consistently following a ritual and be focused on your work.

The Secret Sauce is…
Lets get directly to the main point here.
Alignment. The ancients were not interested in forcing action against resistance. They were interested in removing the resistance so that action became natural.. Almost effortless.
They were not asking — how do I push harder? They were asking — why is there friction at all? And how do I dissolve it?
This is the complete inversion of how modern men approach discipline. And it is the reason ancient disciplines were sustainable across an entire lifetime
Look at a flowing river. It is aligned to gravity. It does not fight against a rock. It keeps flowing effortlessly around the rock but fully aligned to gravity. The resistance eventually gives way.
What is also lacking in today's world or maybe in different proportions is this... the pure desire and inention to take it through, the sustained and disciplined action and the purpose behind the two.
Energy when properly aligned does not deplete. It flows. In a coaching session, when I align myself with the current, focusing on my purpose for the session, it flows naturally.
- Every internal conflict has to be resolved so that resistance is depleted or removed.
- Every action you take is preceded by an identity. Aligning intention and identity is primary task and can only happen with identity transformation.
You can never change behaviour directly. Change your identity first through ritual and new behaviour follows naturally.
So the best things to do is find what you are deeply aligned to, who you are being, what's your identity.
