Telling yourself that you suck or you're stupid isn't being transparent with yourself. It's being rude and or abusive. Having that physical connection of openness has to be a place of respect as well as deliverance. Just because your mind body and soul live with you doesn't give you permission to flake out. Too often we put too much attention on the dollar being more valuable then the talent. Goals are set way too high and very rarely do we see a return on the investment. You can't properly function if you're not being transparent with yourself. Yeah I get it. This is the kind of talk that managers and other bosses love to toss around. Managing yourself is just as important. Who's in control of your wisdom? Which department has your faith in order? How are the energy sources in the areas of keeping doubt, fear and shame away from the infrastructure of personal success. Do you even know who you are versus what you think you like? Walmart doesn't sell a new us. Which means we need to find better focus on your talent having the greater value and not the dollar. Break free and find you again.
