Getting To Know You

Getting to know yourself with as much curiosity as you have in the lives of others takes courage but it’s exciting.

We you can accept that everything isn’t about you.  That stuff didn’t happen to you and there’s more value in asking why than “why me” or (whining), inner peace is just around the corner.

When you can support the people around you, the circles in your life like your family, friends, neighbors and coworkers you are supporting the greater circle, something bigger than you.  Doing your part cooperatively and collaboratively while respecting everyone else’s time to get on with their day.

When you can do something nice for another human being, perhaps without them evening knowing it minus boosting your ego with a charity scoreboard.  To serve because in that moment you had the extra time, energy or money that empowered you to do something kind for someone else you get to experience how electrifying positive acts of kindness can be.  Like walking down the street with a sincere smile bringing more to a stranger’s life than we’ll ever imagine until we’re lucky enough to be on the receiving end one day.

When you can support the bottom line of your company’s goals without getting wrapped up in who is at the helm you’re actually leading with more power than not.  It’s self-empowering and you are your best teacher.  Being excellent is no longer unobtainable because when doing great things is part of your daily work being excellent doesn’t take that much more energy.  What’s more important is being fresh and full of life every day you walk in the door.  To wake up every morning with pure joy sharing a positive thought with yourself as soon as your feet hit the floor.  If you don’t have that right now make it a top priority.  This is not just a goal.  This is about your purpose in life.  Your own mission possible.

When you become more aware of your sense of self, others around you know exactly where you stand, what purpose you serve and what lights your inner fire.  People will not just rely on you, instead calling upon you for the great things you have to offer.  There’s nothing better than knowing you’ve got the right person for the role or to be there when your contributions add the most value.  You trust you are exactly where you need to be with people around you that bring out the best of what you have stored inside.

Sometimes we do not receive the amount of gratitude we feel we deserve.  Sometimes you have to fire your job so you can hire the real you, withdraw from your family so you can take care of yourself or take a break from your friends to focus on your shift in priorities.

Getting to know yourself with as much curiosity as you have in the lives of others takes courage but it’s exciting.
