Everything is personal. Because humans are completely entranced by their own story and the stories of those around them.
How could it not be personal when humans are involved?
The folks who try to compartmentalize this, who say, “it’s not personal, it’s business…” make me chuckle.
Everything is personal. It just depends on whether or not you admit it.
For some reason, we’re taught to build a rather dysfunctional wall between our business and our life.
When you fall into this trap, you start acting like your life has no effect on your business. When you start to think THAT, you become blind.
When weird things start to happen in the business, you analyze the business instead of analyzing YOU.
That’s the first wrong move. Eventually, if you let this outward facing awareness become habit, you completely lose yourself.
You think the problems are “out there.” You look for the solutions “out there.” You lose the connection you have to your power as the primary influencing force in your reality.
Your business is showing you the areas of yourself that need attention.
If you don’t understand that, you spend an enormous amount of energy trying to manipulate the reflection instead of the human creating the reflection.
It’s really that simple. There’s no such thing as compartmentalizing, there is only flow or lack of flow. There is only truth or the absence of it.
Compartmentalizing is a lie we tell ourselves so we don’t have to deal with the sh*t that’s right in front of our face.
That stuff is showing you the way. But it’s up to you if you pay attention.
Everything you want is on the other side of the stuff you don’t want to see.
Business is an amazing way to bring that to your attention so you can clear it.
Some people are too scared. Some people choose to meet life anyway.
