Happy Monday,
It’s not about what we DO, it is about who we “BE”. Understanding this statement is the key to a life full of happiness.
So many of us, in particular men, attach our self worth to our professional endeavours. Experiencing success in your profession is not a bad thing. In fact, it is noble to take pride and pursue excellence. Being excellent at what you do is a great value to live by.
What if we do not experience the success we intended? Defining your self worth to your professional success is a risky proposition. When we are engaging in a typical conversation, we often define ourselves by what we do. For example saying things like, I am a doctor or an attorney, a stay at home Mom or a marketing and sales representative. It doesn’t really matter what it is. These are careers that we have chosen to pursue. Maybe we are fortunate to be living our purpose or perhaps we are simply making a living. It doesn’t matter, these are things we do but they are not who we are.
Please BE conscious of this distinction. You are not defined by your profession. It is “Your State of Being” in which we express the very definition of self. Our BE is the essence of the energy that emanates from us. The question is, is it love or fear? Joy or sadness? Faith or despair? This defines everything about us. It is what others see in us and experience when BEing around us.
Let the light within you define who you are. Attach your self worth to that. You can never go wrong.
Have an abundant and inspired week,
