Whatever terminology we use Steve Pavlina has got it right the more we focus on our goals the more we will achieve. The narrower our focus the greater opportunity that we will have for success.
The more polarized you become, the more you tap into your deepest levels of inner power. Whether you are a darkworker or a lightworker, your source of power is always found within. It is not a form of agency or positional power. You could be stripped of all your worldly titles and possessions and still feel just as strong. As a lightworker your energy flows outward. (source)
And really we need to ask ourselve what sort of impact do we want to have on our world. Those who are truly polarised speak to the world with authority. They are able to energize others and enable them to achieve their goals.
The unpolarised do not have this authority. They are unable to determine right and wrong, what they should or shouldn’t do and so end up failing. They as Steve puts it are the opposite to a lightworker. In the end they draw from others and suck their energy and dampen creativity.
How would I identify a lightworker? What are the characteristics I would look for?
- Passion coupled with integrity – Without integrity passion can lose its way.Â
- Vision coupled with insight – vision needs discernment.
- Motivation coupled with compassion – otherwise people can just get used and not valued
I am sure that there are more. What is important is to identify these people and partner with them. Because when two people are polarised together their capacity is developed exponentially.

I disagree with Steve Pavlina. I think that focusing on one’s goals can be to one’s own detriment. A bloke a few years ago studied what made over-acheivers different from just high-achievers. He found that the single discernible difference was what people did once that they had identified goals. Sure, they both used the goals as a guide. But, whereas the high achievers used the goals to get direction by staying focused on them, the over-achievers used the goals to select behaviours that they focuses on, and by doing do they invariably exceeded their own goals. In this regard, staying mindful of one’s goal/s can limit you to just that goal, which is especially concerning if you set your goal too hastily or too much based upon ego rather than compassion.
