As entrepreneurs, we're used to giving answers,
Solving problems, "doing" for others.
We latch onto work
To define us, to shape us,
And to bring us identity, worth & meaning.
—
We don't speak of ourselves as people,
But rather, machines.
—
Using "I am", "I have" and "I do"
to preface the latest buzzword,
Distracting from the real issue,
And more often than not:
The REAL value.
—
Why?
Because who would you be without the mask?
Who would you need to become
Without the armor of facts and figures?
—
It's that nakedness that scares us.
Also the nakedness that uncovers the truth
To set us free & light our souls on fire.
—
So return to the human BEING,
Not the human DOING
Because your value is not found in the metrics,
Your worth is not conditional on performance.
—
Truth is found in simplicity.
The brilliance of a breath,
The heat of a heartbeat,
And the practice of presence.
—
When will you give yourself permission to BE?
Seen.
Heard.
Felt.
Maybe even for the first time.
—
Ireland cracked me open.
Scotland is coloring me in.
