    Make your faith greater than your fear

    The source of this week's deep dive is a LinkedIn article titled "Make your faith greater than your fear" by Samer Chidiac, a government and public sector executive advisor. It argues that we often fear the unknown, rather than the specific events that might occur. Chidiac uses an analogy of knowing when someone will arrive, even if it is late, versus not knowing when they will arrive at all. He contends that the uncertainty of the unknown is more discomforting than the certainty of an unpleasant event. Building upon this, the author emphasizes the importance of faith as a tool for navigating uncertainty. Chidiac suggests that faith helps us transform the unknown into a known reality and encourages readers to confront fear with faith in a positive future.

    This excerpt from Samer Chidiac's "Focus on your destination, and then flow like Water…" article uses the analogy of driving to illustrate the importance of setting a clear goal for your projects and then adapting to unexpected challenges along the way. Drawing inspiration from Bruce Lee's famous quote about being like water, Chidiac stresses the need for flexibility and adaptability in order to succeed. He emphasizes that while having a defined goal is essential, obsessing over every detail beforehand can be detrimental. The article encourages perseverance and learning from mistakes, highlighting that progress is a process of continuous refinement and adjustment, not a perfectly linear path.

    Don't look at the girl in the green shirt

    This LinkedIn post by Samer Chidiac, an executive advisor and futurist, explores the concept of selective perception. He uses an intriguing anecdote, starting with the phrase "Don't look at the girl with the green shirt," to illustrate how our brains actively filter information based on what we're expecting to see. This leads to the central idea that we only perceive what we are ready or willing to see, highlighting how pre-existing beliefs and desires shape our perception of reality. Chidiac connects this to the Law of Attraction, suggesting that our optimistic or pessimistic outlook influences our experiences. He concludes by emphasizing the importance of consciously choosing what we focus on, drawing inspiration from the Matrix, and encouraging readers to embrace an optimistic perspective and seek opportunities even amidst challenges.
