Albert Einstein once said “Gravity is the curvature of space and time produced by mass and energy.” You may ask how this would apply to us.

Gravity represents our past. It represents the things that have helped to shape our values. It is where we came from. It represents our heritage, our philosophy and why we do the things that we do.

Curvature represents the influence that our past exerts on the choices that we make in our journey in space and time.

Mass is presented by our physical being and energy is what we would use to propel our self forward.

In other words, the decisions and choices that we make now are affected by the reference frames of the past.

Socrates said an unexamined life is not worth living. Well let’s do a little examining.

Life is about the cycle of challenges and without breaking the cycle we find ourselves repeating the lessons over and over again till we master them.

Protagoras, an antiquity philosopher once said, “Man is a measure of all things”, meaning we look at the world from a human’s perspective.

Descartes also said, “I think therefore I am”, meaning we differentiate ourselves from the animal kingdom from our ability to be aware of ourselves.

True Leaders are individuals who have a greater level of awareness. Meaning that, they have the ability to see things from other people’s perspective. The work that we do on a daily basis often acts as gravity to hold us back. Sometimes we need to stop and think. And sometimes we need to be able to think from another person’s perspective in order to break the cycle to reach out to a new level of reality that enables us to have a richer dialog with the people that we work with. We need to be aware of our reference frames and unless we break from one reference frame to another, we will always be repeating the same lesson over and over again. That can be a little tiring and boring after a while, don’t you think?
