AUTHENTIC SELF - Courage to Possess Perfection

MBN Bitterroot Subnetwork - September 2012

Collaborating with Jennifer Rivera on a subject to kick off Missoula Businesswomen's Network first sub-network meeting of the year; and to add value to DeDe Adams message for MBN this year "....inspiring others to Blossom!" 

 Jennifer and I were experiencing the same opportunity of non-authentic people in our business and personal lives. Definition of 'authentic: individuals hold the same values and beliefs from a business meeting, networking opportunity, school, and family functions.

 

From our collaboration came the four laws of Authentic Self: Law of Character, Law of the Lid, Law of Perfection, and Law of Celebration

 

Law of Character

 

Authentic self is our self-image and character

 

Core of our character is our values, beliefs, experiences, and set points

Best way to start developing core values is the Golden Rule, start listing the values and beliefs you hold true of others. 

 

Be humble in grace and pray for others, send cheer even if they are adversarial. Love

your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those

who mistreat you. . . do  to others as you would have them do to you.

(Luke 6:27-31 The Golden Rule)

  

Devote time and energy to discover our passion, talent, and value; we will step
into authentic self; destiny.

 

Passion + Talent+ Values + Destiny = Genius

 

Genius is living in our passion, purpose, talent, gifts, and character. This is where
we walk into a room and people state; "you look great what have you been doing?"

Live our PURPOSE. . . Being JOYFUL daily

 

  Law of the Lid

 

Definition:   Limitation of achieving higher than we can today. A lid inhibits our ability to be more tomorrow than we are today. Self

limiting beliefs put a ceiling on our lives.

·         We do not see things as they are; we see things as we are.

·         See life full; through faith provision will be fruitful

·         How we see our self = attitude

 

“No matter what happens to you, positive attitude comes from within.

Your circumstances and your contentment are unrelated.”  J. Maxwell   

 

Law of Perfection

 

 

Belief, Dream, Passion, Growth

Law of perfection is the perfection of who we are as individuals. To live within our character we should live within our gifts. As human beings we are physically and mentally in-capable of being perfect at every single thing our world has to offer.

 

We are PERFECT in who we are and living within our genius.

Experience gives us opportunity to plant seeds of change; to encourage, nurture new beginnings, and the courage to do so.Through grace and humility we can find ‘perfection’ of our purpose, desire(s), passion(s), dream(s) and value.

 It is what I want!

There is no longer a belief that I can’t.

It is what I want!

 

 Law of Celebration

 

 If you love it, you are NOT willing to lose it

As a society we do not take time out of our daily lives to celebrate even the smallest of events and wait for the bigger events in our lives to celebrate. . . why? When we celebrate daily wins, and losses it keeps focus on our goals, dreams, and core values.

• Celebrate making the 5 cold-calls today
• Celebrate the 2 hang-ups.....why? Because you can now devote energy to potential clients who are open and willing to receive what you have to offer
• Celebrate a return call
• Celebrate big and small, this also mentors our employees and youth the wins are wonderful and the losses are great learning opportunities we did not have to pay for :)
• Celebrating ignites others to success

 

Sincerely,

Tracy Worley

 

 

Would love to know what you are celebrating!
