I love words. Not just in the way of using them in conversation or daily writing. I love to look up words in the dictionary and dig deep into their source of purpose. Where such a word originates and how it made its way across the planet. On this podcast we pick up the word "Being" and step straight onto its heart of what we assume it is versus how we can put such a simple word to work in ways that build your foundation of success. The essence and nature of a person is how the word "Being" appears on dictionary.com. What is the image you're projecting daily at work? At home? With friends and new people you meet? The essence and nature of being. Most people go through several shapes throughout the day. Who you are in the car during bad traffic isn't how you drive when shooting off for a short two day trip to the beach. Being aware of your essence and nature helps you identify the reasons why you might be moody or more of an introvert. I love sharing conversations with men and women of God but you'll never see me in a situation where friendship is the identification. That's like sitting down with Dr. Oz! The dude would watch everything you eat, how you sit, breathe and not take that afternoon jog to keep the heart pumped. The essence and nature of our being is controlled by what switch? Are you able to feel without guilt, shame or doubt? In places of business the competition between coworkers is so high that having a quiet dinner afterwords comes across as being false. How can your essence and nature of being one way is so easily forgotten two hours later? I was told one time, "If you aren't fighting with the people you work with then its an unhealthy company." Being part of that message became a new path for me to create in a much different place.
