Are You A Hard Charger?

To individuate successfully, you must be a hard charger. Now let me immediately qualify this declaration. In the dictionary, a hard charger is an aggressive, domineering personality, or a car racer fighting for position, a favorable vantage point from which to win the race.

Anyone that has read much of what I have written would note that I advise competing with the self of yesterday, much less about competing against others. Competing with others is a groupist tradition that gains one wealth, power and position, but has nothing to do with the advancement or development of the perfecting self.

Competing rather and solely against the older, less developed self  is a must because self-actualization is an individual, independent, live and let live mode of existence.

Being a get-after-it hard charger is an ideal psychological pose for getting the individuating underway and continuing to get it done. Setting aside the excesses of social competing, instead resorting to competing against the self of yesterday allows the individual a useful way to get going and get developing.

If you are not a hard charger, you should be. Get going. Get after it.
