Go with a group

Published over 2 years ago • 1 min read

There's an African saying that I like:

"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with a group."

I'm experiencing this firsthand as part of my psychology program. I learn together with a group of people who all offer different perspectives. It makes the journey more rewarding and fun.

Collaboration is built into our DNA. And it's by far the most favourable method for anything that requires a lot of energy. We wouldn't survive – or flourish – without it.

Look at your own goals. Are you trying to do it alone or do you have a group you can turn to for insight, help and support?

Find your tribe, then move forward together. It makes all the difference.

Have a great week!

Cheers,
Olle

PS. Remember: you don't have to do it all alone. Who are you travelling with?

What set them apart was their champion mindset. But what, exactly, does that mean? They compete against themselves The champions defined what winning meant to them. They taught...

Take a moment to think about your habits. Why do you act the way you do? Psychology offers three explanations: Learning by association (classical conditioning): Some things we don't need to learn. They're "hard-wired" into our system from birth; we pair a stimulus (e.g. a loud noise) with a response (fear). This learning is often unconscious and happens quickly. Check out Pavlov's dogs if you're curious to learn more. Learning by consequences (reinforcements/punishments): Some things we learn...
