Are you an entrepreneur or business owner who feels there's never enough time in your day? Never enough skills in your skill set? Or tools in your toolbox?
Are you one of those who constantly measures where you've been and where you are going and how much further you must travel to get there?
Yes? I want to join your club. And I want to bring something to the table with me.
It's called "The Work" and it's a simple process of inquiry developed by Bryon Katie. It's a way of identifying and questioning the thoughts that cause our fears and inefficiencies.
I may be spilling some beans here, but I know that MY thinking can and does do damage. Which, of course, only piles up on MY plate to fix, undo, and get over.
In doing The Work, I have found that I project my own fears and doubts onto others and second guess my abilities long before they do. I am constantly assailing myself with the belief that I must be more, do more, achieve more. I must be smarter, faster, first. It's exhausting! Staying competitive in today's marketplace is exhausting!
The Work is a personal journey, and it's not necessarily for the workplace. But rest assured, everyone who is coming to work could use The Work to make them happier, healthier, more efficient employees, bosses, and leaders.
One might could say the marketing messages we communicate about ourselves to ourselves are the most prevalent in our lives. If we can open just one door that lets in enough light to see we are indeed good, honest, capable, compassionate human beings, then we're all going to benefit from it. Imagine, then, if we could throw open all the doors. What a world!
