More tribe like than we accept!
Get back to your school days…
There was that group of kids that were notorious… they were the trouble makers… And that tribe stuck together!
And there was the group of playful kids… Some of them were probably good at sports, others loved to sing or dance… they probably were not bad at studies either… but they were there more to have fun and didn’t necessarily care for what was happening around them… That was their tribe!
And there was the group of students who pulled each other back… and the ones that wanted to do well had to stand by the (unwritten) laws of the group! They were not supposed to stand up and answer questions for they had to then face the ridicule of rest of the group once the class was done! They sure had fun, but then the undercurrent was aimlessness… And that was their tribe!
And then there was that group of really smart kids… The kids that worked hard, always scored well, had an ambition about them, took pride in what they could do and who they were… The teachers liked them! And when they left school, it was them that became the pride of the school…. They were the elite tribe!!!
We live and function and think and react and grow and behave based on our tribal origins and our tribal associations!
Our tribe determines who we end up becoming or how far we go…
And often times breaking away from a tribe could be much harder than we may bear the strength for…
Our society is a tribal society… Our world is a tribal world!!!
Which tribe do you belong to? And will you dare to shift???
