Hero or Villain? Whatever your view of Tommy Shelby, there’s no doubt that the leader of the Peaky Blinders is a fascinating character.
Despite his violent ways, Tommy has many admirable qualities.
One of them I find compelling is his refusal to let other people or circumstances distract him from reaching his goals.
For example, in family meetings, when others disagree with him or criticise his ideas, he simply lets them speak and then continues with making his point or laying out his plan without becoming angry or getting drawn into an argument. He stays in control no matter what. It is a truly remarkable quality and something very few people do.
We have five senses that allow us to experience the world. And most people are slaves to these senses. We live from ‘the outside in’ and allow ourselves to be controlled by external experiences.
What we experience causes us to think certain thoughts. Those thoughts cause certain feelings. Those feelings cause us to act in a certain way. And those actions dictate the results that we get in our lives.
… And so the cycle continues: the same thoughts lead to the same results. Nothing changes and we continue to struggle.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. As Tommy shows us: you can control what you think. It’s a choice.
You can start to live from ‘the inside out’ and respond as you choose rather than reacting to what’s going on around you. When you have learned to do this, as Tommy does, it puts you in a very powerful position. You create the world as you want it to be and can remain laser-focused on achieving your goals
It’s not easy and it takes practice. But if you’re serious about your goals it’s well worth developing this skill.
Get to it now. By Order Of The Peaky Blinders!
