The Antidote to 'Cause Shaming' - EP034

Most of us have certain things that we care so deeply about that we’re willing to take extraordinary measures to defend or advance that cause or belief. The problem is that not everyone shares those beliefs and, what’s more, even people who agree about a cause can’t necessarily agree on what to do about it. Humans tend to judge decisions from their own perspective, so this kind of disagreement can be especially frustrating.

The important thing to remember is that at the heart of every person lies a Red Thread, but how we fill in the blank of that universal template for meaning is going to be completely unique. The good news is that if we look more deeply into someone’s Red Thread, we can figure out what it is that drives them. We can see that even though we both have the same Goal and even the same Problem, we have different Changes in order to get things done.

When we are trying to achieve the same Goal, when we have the same fundamental beliefs, it’s necessary that we find ways to weave all of our different Red Threads together to solve the overall Goal that we all have.
