May I speak to your manager? 😈
I know your inner Manager is positively bedeviled with meetings et cetera,
but if I could have a moment, please?
Listen here:
You cannot time-manage your way into freedom.
You cannot team-manage your way into fulfilling work.
You cannot mind-manage your way into confidence.
You cannot money-manage your way into real wealth.
Freedom, fulfillment, confidence, wealth:
these are not managerial pursuits.
They're not even executive-level concerns.
To feel rich and free and abundant and empowered in our everyday lives,
we need deep and true and thorough self-honoring.
That sort of thing doesn't appear in a quarterly plan,
or result from an optimized schedule.
No.
Deep and true and thorough self-honoring is a practice.
An ethos.
As the kids would say: a whole vibe.
It's simple, but not easy -
especially if you're a big-hearted go-getter,
and even more if you're conditioned to put everyone else's needs and opinions ahead of your own.
To practice deep and true and thorough self-honoring
in this pushpushpush, gimmegimmegimme world,
you need to slow down,
set boundaries,
sink into countercultural support,
and learn to love your whole self.
I can help you with that,
if you can get your Manager on board.
Tell her the ROI is beyond her wildest dreams.
