Why do we tell ourselves what we aren’t more than we tell ourselves what we are?
While the soul itself doesn’t need a reminder, it is a healthy thing to remind the soul bearer of that which the soul already knows to be true.
We all could use more purpose and meaning reminders.
When you know who you are you then know where you’re going…and when you know where you’re going, eventually you get there.
Knowing thy self is the best thing since Google Maps to get you where you want to go.
Saying please and thank you to your customers always pays a much greater dividend than discovering the flaws and weaponry of your competition.
Couple thoughts:
Business success loves standing in the shadows of the customer spotlight.
Customer Care > Competition Concern.
You, hopefully, get an answer to act on.
You get a chance to respond and it’s your response that will be the building blocks of your legacy.
Once you know how, when, and why to serve someone you’ve just been given the master-key to two joys: theirs and yours.
The truth sleeps in questions.
You’re here to wake it up.
Beauty, at its core, stands for and means that which is right. Not the kind of beauty that is graded in Miss America pageants, but the kind that unfolds in moments of awe.
The next time you hear someone say “look how beautiful” – think of them saying “look how right.” That, after all, is what they’re trying to convey when they’re lost in orchids, sunsets, mountains, or a child’s laughter, right? Such rightness makes us tremble.
So we give…we give ourself to pointing out, outlining, exposing, sharing and creating this kind of beauty. For her role is endless. She’s needed in our businesses, she’s now a must in our products, she is service, she sings in our art, she’s the one special part of our latest favorite song, she’s the purpose of poetry, and she makes our head nod up and down in our fulfillment.
When you get it right you’ve got yourself something beautiful. And when you’ve created beauty you’ve done something right.
Beauty is the universal agreement to such rightness. Put her into all things.
