The Top 6 Obstacles to Success and How to Overcome Them! Success is an elusive concept that many...
Disclaimer
I've come a long way, so I don't waste my time trying to make others think like me. However, I refuse to be forced into someone else's idea of what is true for them just to make them comfortable. That said, I have no hatred in my heart for anyone based on sexual orientation, gender identity, race, religion, or creed. I will defend my right to disagree while defending their right to choose. I understand that despite my clear declaration that this article does not arise from a position or hate, the political need to push certain agendas will insist that certain people and groups be offended by it.
Introduction
Based on years of reading and research, here is what I can tell you. When lines are blurred, chaos ensues. There is a strong push to eliminate the binary vocabulary completely. Instead of using the terms female or woman, they have introduced "birthing people" or "egg-producing." This way, those who can't produce eggs or birth children can also claim the terms woman and female.
While everyone is on social media arguing about who can pay all of the bills, pretty soon, we know it won't be "him" because "him" won't even exist, and neither will "her."
Anyone who understands linguistics understands this isn't simply a play on words--- it's a hostile takeover. Allow me to explain. Right now, someone who identifies opposite of their gender assignment at birth is considered transgendered (nothing new). For short, they are referred to as trans women or trans men. The identifiers are women and men, with the modifier being trans. However, the new push started with labeling biological females as CIS women, the first move in moving the modifier to the origin, something that previously didn't need a modifier. It is a form of erasure. The relegation of women to an obscured identity shared by others who forcefully encroach upon their natural space.
Antinomianism
Whether in society, academia, politics, or business, when roles cannot be clearly defined, identities are obscure and constantly changing, chaos inevitably ensures, and collapse is not far behind. The constant press to support individualism in a social construct comes at a steep price. While the freedom to do whatever one desires sounds liberating, it comes at a steep price. As social creatures, we are wired to work together to accomplish common goals to meet our essential needs and produce many things we desire and enjoy. However, when long-standing principles are spurned in lieu of unbridled self-indulgence, the lines become blurred, and the antinomianism that ensues is fructified exponentially.
In our attempts to make room for new ideas that facilitate the aggrandizement of a culture that seeks to redefine itself, we cannot dislodge the foundation that provides clarity in so many areas of life. Identity isn't just about how we ourselves; it defines what we should expect from ourselves and how we are to behave and function as a part of society. Our identity should produce a pro-social awareness that elucidates our path and ensures we are positive contributors to society.
People must be afforded the freedom to be themselves, but never should that freedom have the power to demand that others redefine themselves and their roles to fortify someone else's choices. The nebulosity that is emerging is a standing paradox to the clarity required to achieve optimal performance in life. My intent isn't to encroach upon someone's personal liberties; it is to defend the liberties and rights of all. I have the right to be anything I want to be, but my rights are not licenses to force everyone else to come along for the ride. ~ Rick Wallace, Ph.D., Psy.D.

In conclusion, it is clear that when roles and responsibilities are defined, chaos and ambiguity are avoided, and success is more likely. This is true for both personal and professional life. When it comes to professional life, it is essential to have a clear and defined set of expectations and responsibilities to achieve success. Without clarity in your personal life, you can spend years repeating cycles that fail to produce the desired outcomes you seek.
I hope that this blog post has been informative and that you are now more aware of the importance of defining roles and responsibilities to protect the long-term stability of our society. Taking the time to get clear on expectations and responsibilities will pay off in the long run.
