Success in life revolves around interpersonal relationships. Social dynamics sits at the core of all interpersonal interactions, whether that be business, love or friendship.
Social dynamics is my own tree of social science. It is how I have learnt to best understand social interaction and success in life.
There are patterns in what it is that we define as success, my goal is to outline and teach core fundamentals to excel in interpersonal relationships. Whereas traditionally teaching is taught from the branches (e.g sales) of which social dynamics is the root.
We are wired to be attracted to certain characteristics for our survival. Thousands of years ago if we were attracted to the wrong type of person it meant death. This wiring is still in us today, but what is it? What are we attracted to today? What is repulsive? Why?
10% of learning is theory we learn through doing. Being ok with messing up accelerates learning exponentially.
A self reflective person is a good person. The struggle to this is within maintaining the ability to be correctable. The key to this philosophy is that you find errors quick. The struggle is in seeking and accepting feedback.
Physical capability is essential. You walk through life differently when you know you can deal with absolutely anything you are faced with.
Martial arts is the best way to gain this confidence, it is a different level of training that comes with the benefits of brotherhood among peers.
We are the centre of our own universe. Only we can control our future, nobody else will get you to where you want to go. Take responsibility for everything in your life.
Be absolutely critical of what you let into your universe. We are shaped by our environment, that is a reality. However we have the power to choose that environment. Make sure it serves you.
Everything you say, mean it with 100% conviction. Do not say things you do not believe, you are accepting less.
Living with conviction allows you to make mistakes and learn faster. If we always do what everyone else tells us to do, we are not taking responsibility for our own outcome and therefore not learning.
Negative things can come from seeking things that make us happy e.g drugs, obesity. Only positive things make us proud, and being proud makes us happy.
Being a victim to our emotions puts us on a lower plain. Emotions can make us stronger or weaker, it is our responsibility to select which emotion will serve us and not let the negative ones control us.
Your habits are the only way you can project your success in life. Are your habits moving you closer to or further away to who you want to be and what you want to become.
Humans evolved to work effectively as a pack. Going against this framework leads to failure. Life is incomplete without ones we trust and can enjoy ourselves with.
We work best in competition with one another, competing to be our absolute best and constantly challenging one another to be better. This competition has been viewed as negative in recent years.
Understanding how to communicate effectively is essential to all relationships no matter how deep. Understanding the dynamics of relationships at their core is the basis of all interpersonal relationships.
We should take 100% responsibility in how our message lands on peoples ears. We cannot control how they respond, but we can always control how we deliver it.
You are the combination of the 5 people you are around most. You have the opportunity to tap into other peoples greatness and power. It is your responsibility to pick the best team possible.
Always think of how you can help other people achieve their goals and get to where they want to go. Everyone wants to be around those that want the best for them. Be what you want in your friends.
There is nothing in limited enough quantity that hard work will not grant you access.
