Sometimes you gotta run before you can walk
Lessons from Tony Stark! Well at least 3 that I’ve learnt by “running before walking” 1. You’re forced to self reflect I knew immediately after once the actually job was revealed that I was not qualified for this! Internal thoughts were screaming “I am going to look so stupid. How will I even figure this out? “This is completely absurd. Not possible” But instead, what I did reflect on, was why I was capable of the job and if anything why I believe it was the right candidate for them. I focused on my strengths, my brand and was confident that I was going to be something they weren’t prepared for in a good way. I never lied, if anything addressed the lack of qualification requirement before they did. But I sold myself, my brand, my potential and my ambition. My current career is within sales, and without coming across as chauvinistic I’m confident I can sell Ice to an eskimo, so selling myself wasn’t going to be an issue. But I learnt in this process, that not only that I could identify these strengths that I really hadn’t focused on before, but I was impressing myself on the capabilities of my own worth. Not that Ive ever considered myself not worthy of anything, but I saw this numerical number That I considered unreachable in my current experience and time of life but I was wrong, and the feedback confirmed it. I was more than capable of running before walking, and now I wonder have I been ‘walking’ for too long? 2. You’re forced to self empathise Running before walking is an immediate decision, it’s your decision, and therefore your responsibility and you own self accountability for the result. I had always had someone around me to ask for help and compassion when I unsure of myself, they’d provide feedback and I’d learn, grow and become better, stronger! Whether it was one of my parents, a sibling, a friend, or a colleague, I had people around me, but I didn’t know how to discuss this process, or was fearful of discussing other opportunities to my current place of work about another, I’m not intending to leave my current place of work so discussing this would make me feel guilty, even though I was sure initially the job wouldn’t be in the cards for me anyway . So when I got the result and the feedback, besides my wife and the small amount of family I told, there wasn’t that large support group I’d normally rely on for this type of back up of sooth, so I I found ways to self-empathise. learn how without back up, you can back up yourself, a type of self reliance. 3. You learn new skills Now this doesn’t mean you have to have come up with something brand new, or have re-invented the wheel. In my case I learnt that the skills I posses were much more prominent and powerful compare to what I thought they were. To compare myself to Tony stark, when he completed his Mach 2 suit, eagerly after making the first one in a cave. I feel like that now, I feel like the skills that I already had, Ive seen how they can be used, how they or I am worth and when I had that realisation after the first interview, I felt like I had my knew ironman suit on and when the 2nd interview came I was willing to run with it, not test it out. I was confident. Now moving forward Past this interview, I’ve discovered they these skills, powers, abilities I have a limitless potential and Im already working on my next project, my next Iron Man suit.

Who decides Limits?
I don’t know about you but this quote resonates too well right now. The world is in such an odd space right now. Here in Australia it’s safe to say we’re in a space moving away from the Pandemic. But now we’re presented with a different type of problem. Employment, the economy and a overall massive want of financial stability at an individual level. But there seems to be a generation who are somewhat unaffected, Gen Z. Their ignorant view of everyday employment and the influence of social media has been a catalyst to how money can be earnt They found the limitations of the 9-5 and fight for a better way. Dont get me wrong, I still believe that consistency and security of a job is far more important but maybe it’s these limiting beliefs that prevent me from taking the right risks to project me forward. It’s this idea of pushing limits or or complacency for them we’ll talk about today

“The power is yours!”
The power is indeed yours! We all have the power to make good and bad decisions. Claiming that you weren’t given any options is simply a cop out and shrugging off our our responsibilities of our actions. It is us who decides our fate and how much effort we put into a task and no one else. Think about any tv show, drama or movie. There’s always a character that ‘chooses’ not to tell the truth, chooses to cheat, or chooses anything that they believe won’t have consequences but sure enough later on happens to do so. It is our power to create, produce, react and respond with what is within our control

“The greatest power on earth is the magnificent power we all possess. The power of the human brain.”
The greatest power on earth is the magnificent power we all possess. The power of the human brain.' This is a popular quote by the Marvel character Charles Xavier in a xmen comic from 1962 . He is the professor at the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning where they teach their students how to harness the powers they already possess, but can’t control. Now it’s a given that Professor Xavier is one of the most powerful mutants and his power specifically comes from his mind this quote is open to everyone in the world as we all have access to this same super power

“The Wise build bridges, while the the foolish build barriers”
A tribute episode, where we look at one of the quotes of the 2018 Award winning blockbuster Black Panther “We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” We look at it from a perspective of building Walls and bridges not just on a global scale but as individuals too.
