Keys To Building Community

 

The Vertical Limit Challenge surfaced a number of issues that humans face when they choose to compete instead of working together. Here are the critical learning points:

Collaborate = Accelerate
When working in a group, allow each person to take a role that they feel competent in. Utilize each others strengths and your work will be accelerated.

Share Resources
The world is abundant and resources are everywhere. However, some people/countries have easier access to some of the more critical resources (food, clean water, oil, healthcare...etc.). Imagine if these people/countries focused on sharing these resources instead of controlling or monopolizing them. World hunger could be abolished. The world's energy crisis could be alleviated. The poorest populations could have access to healthcare, education and more...imagine that.

Know What You Control
Most people stop trying to solve problems because they feel helpless or incapable of making a difference. Understand that even the largest systems have been created by people and they will be changed by people. You have the ability to take control. Start with yourself by maintaining your positive attitude, then enroll others to create a purposeful collaboration. Remember to avoid complaining and to offer solutions.

Don't Compete, Just Win
When you focus on competing, you will limit your own potential. Remember the quote, "you can't get ahead by getting even". Put your energy into developing your abilities and perfecting your skills. When you focus on constantly improving, you will reach an optimal level of performance.
