You must be able to name for yourself why your work matters. And if you're a leader, you need to encourage everyone on your team to do the same.
Unreasonable Hospitality
Will Guidara
Given our human impulse to pick up the habits and energy of others, you can use that knowledge to literally program your brain the way you want. Simply find the people who most represent what you would like to become and spend as much time with them as you can without trespassing, kidnapping, or stalking. Their good habits and good energy will rub off on you.
How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big
Scott Adams
To repeat an earlier point, in Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Dr. Bandler makes a distinction between the "metamodel" and the "Milton model." The meta-model, continually revised, updated and expanded, consists of the class of all scientifically meaningful statements available at this date. We should revise our meta-model every day, by keeping in contact with others in the same predicament. Since Scenario Universe always and only consists of -as Bucky Fuller said non-simultaneously apprehended events (coherent space-time synergies), such continuous feedback appears necessary.
If everything happened at once, we would know Absolute Truth at once; but since spacetime events happen non-simultaneously, we need feedback.
The "Milton model," on the other hand, named after Dr. Milton Erickson, "the greatest hypnotist of the 20th Century," consists of the class of all scientifically meaningless statements that "magically" make us feel much better, or much worse - or, in occult language, the class of all blessings and all curses.
(General Semanticists call it the class of all purrs and all snarls.)
