Ubuntu rings true for Includers

Posted on July 3, 2016

“Today I read a story about an anthropologist who proposed a game to the kids in an African tribe. He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told the kids that who ever got there first won the sweet fruits. When he told them to run they all took each others hands and ran together, then sat together enjoying their treats. When he asked them why they had run like that as one could have had all the fruits for himself they said: Ubuntu, how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad? Ubuntu in the Xhosa culture means ‘I am because we are’.”

Instagram is kind of my thing 😀

We’ve been taught that growth means fixing our fla We’ve been taught that growth means fixing our flaws.

But growth actually happens when you stop trying to patch the holes and start building skyscrapers on your foundations.

Fixating on weakness makes you average.
Amplifying your strengths makes you unique.

Stop trying to be everything to everyone. 🔑

I used to think wellbeing was just a fancy synonym I used to think wellbeing was just a fancy synonym for wellness. 🏋️‍♂️

I was wrong.

Gallup's research draws a clear line between the two.

𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 actually relates specifically to 𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴. It's about having good health, energy to get things done, and the foundation to feel good physically.

Wellbeing is the bigger picture.

According to Gallup’s research, Wellbeing consists of 5 interconnected areas:

🧑‍💼 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 – Do you like what you do every day?
😀  𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 – Do you have meaningful connections?
💵  𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 – Do you manage your money without constant stress?
🤸  𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 – Do you have energy to get things done?
🏘️  𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 – Do you feel safe and engaged where you live?

You can be perfectly healthy (Physical) but miserable at work (Career). If one pillar is shaky, the whole thing wobbles.

Wellness is one piece of the puzzle. Wellbeing is the full picture.

Which area of your life feels strongest right now? Which one needs a little love? 👇
