The Oryx-way for a Life Journey of Development & Growth, because it chooses to mainly create by means of awareness.

Meet the Oryx of the Namib desert. The Oryx is a magnificent animal that is strategically roaming the landscape in order to strategically position itself (&the herd) to efficiently deal with the harsh conditions of the Namib desert. The Oryx inclination of… 'when the going gets tough, the tough gets going!'… is the very foundation of a journey in life (both personal and professional) characterized by self-development and growth by making optimal use of the power of now and seizing the moment for authentic self-actualization.

The habitual inclination sourcing from a dominated Oryx attitude, mainly is transcendental (or spiritual) in nature and steered by following higher-self mindsets and life scripts…

1. Human Bond Mindset (which focus mainly on compassion, tolerance, community and interactions).
2. Systemic Mindset (which focus mainly on flexibility and natural flows).
3. Holistic Mindset (which focus mainly on life, harmony and respect for all of creation).
4. Unity Awareness Mindset (which focus mainly on actualizing and potential of self and others).

A healthy balance and equilibrium between the above-indicated mindsets, often result in a philosophy of life which is characterized by… “Dream as you will live forever, dance as if nobody sees you and live life as if you will die today” and the following dominated GPSplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigG • P • S

A much diluted and illustrative representation of the actual Human System of Life.

In general terms the abbreviation stands for the Global Positioning Satellite system that we use to “pin point” our geographical position on this planet of ours. However, melancholycountless forceshappiness belief system…

• My self-esteem isn't based upon pleasing others, nor agreeing with them unconditionally, because I am a unique individual with a distinct meaning and purpose.
• I am complete, filled with love and worthwhile (i.e. a healthy self-worth) at this very moment, regardless of what others might say or think.
• Healing my life, starts in my mind and how I perceive the world around me.
• When I desire change, I must first look for the possibilities of change within myself.

• Open my heart to love and act with compassion, making my life full and happy.
• Through sharing who I am with others, I come to know who am I and I lack nothing to begin doing this right NOW!
• Attempting to fix others and the world around me will not fix me.
• Love, forgiveness and compassion for others will show me the way to serenity and contentment.
• I am limitless and able to manifest “miracles” by cooperation, co-creation and sharing my experiences and wisdom with others.

From this nourishing foundation - and with the Light as silent partner - develops a survivor mentality (i.e. conditional conformity and a healthy self-determination), that is maintained and which - in turn - sustain…

Specialist knowledge is a rich collection of digested, processed, filtered and applied knowledge, that efficiently harness acquired skills, polished abilities and mastered competencies.

Specialist knowledge - in essence - is the ability to sensibly identify a problem or obstacle (i.e. toxic event or circumstance), collect the necessary data and process relevant information. Which - in turn - manifest as the skill to truly understand “problem” dynamics within a specific context and the competency to organize, structure and deploy such knowledge efficiently to either initiate or implement effective problem solving strategies.

Specialist knowledge is the sound foundation and source of powerful troubleshooting techniques and problem-solving strategies, both in the workplace and life in general.

The modus operandi for growth is characterized by being able to truly…

• …manage your own time, efforts and tasks independently as contextually required and without the dogmatic and autocratic “push” into unwiseplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigUnwise direction implies ignorance or the disregarding of needed individualization and customization's as required by the context of the situation, circumstances or series of events. and self-serving directions.

A hacker have the habit & attitude to cooperate, co-create and take action to resolve annoying obstacles, persistent problems and drawn-out issues as experienced.

A facilitator primarily guide people to efficiently cope and deal with the many obstacles of change by assisting individuals to responsibly and accountable develop customized self-empowerment and psyche management strategies, which would allow the individual to implement, master and sustain a set of balanced life skills and coping mechanisms (i.e. healthy action models).

A facilitator - therefore - implies someone that guide others to greater efficiency - NOT MAKING THINGS EASIER - by compassionately coaching, assisting, supporting and helping troubled individuals to effectively regain control of their own lives and prevailing circumstances.

Thus, a hacker-facilitator, compassionately (gently) assist and guide individuals to think (digest and reflect) about their problems, possible solutions, various possibilities, alternatives and options presently available, and HOW they could benefit from implementation and the consequences if and when they fail to implement solutions in time (i.e. encourage proactive, rather than reactive behavior).
