At one of the darkest times in my life, which was during the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, I was confronted by my circumstances and compelled to find answers.  My mental, emotional, and financial state demanded this lest I simply lay down and quit. 

Such moments are called “Defining moments”.  In the immortal words of Kevin Costner in the movie Tin Cup, “When a defining moment comes along, you define the moment or the moment defines you.”  In other words, you have a choice to make.

I made my choice and began a deep inquiry that has now lasted well over a decade.  This inquiry presented an elegant solution to living one’s best life and great clarity on the problems keeping most of us from it.  I will give you both now from my point of view.

The Solution

Almost anything and everything you want or desire in your life will come from your ability to interact with your real social network, your tribe.  As one learns to efficiently and effectively cooperate and collaborate with others, they can organize the effort and energy to create their life by design.  This applies to everything from romance to parenting, friendship to partnership, leadership and management.  It is all life, and it is all tribe.

The Problem

To tribe well, we need to unblur and understand the difference between success and achievement.  Society has blurred them together, misplacing what and where success belongs, which is with our ways of being and doing, not having.  Having is achievement and success is being and doing and it is the foundation for worthwhile achievement.  The problem arises when we skip right to the achievement.
