Maybe your karass revolves around reversing climate change or saving the rain forest.
Maybe you’re destined to stop sexual trafficking or end world hunger.
According to Vonnegut, members of a karass might never even know they are part of it.
This is how the Divine gets important things done in the world.
So how do you find the other people in your particular karass your soul tribe?
Believe that your tribe is already waiting for you.
Think Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement.
Think Al Gore and the movement to fight global warming.
Tribes arise when movements happen, and tribes choose their own leadership.
Give people a story about the future you envision, and invite them to help create it.
Find a unique, resounding way to present your tribe with a call to action.
Real visionaries don’t set out to become famous or prove theirself-worth.
They act because they’re passionate about their missions and they genuinely love those they serve.
Effective leaders might get a lot of attention, but they dont absorb it.
Instead, they use it to unite their tribe and reinforce the purpose of their karass.
Top-down leadership requires that a leader give a message to their followers.
If you give your message the space to spread sideways, your tribe will grow.
Too many people cling to their ideas because theyre afraid someone else will steal them.
As Joyce Carol Oates said, I never understand when people make a fuss over me as a writer.
I’m just the garden hose water sprays through."
Empower your tribe to communicate openly.
Leverage social media and give your tribe a forum they can use to talk to one another.
Cultivate true believers, not just fans or followers.
Treat each one like he or she matters, and your tribe will feel it.
Dont be afraid to be vulnerable or imperfect.
Be brave enough to share your truth and youll help others be courageous enough to share theirs.
