My friend and business champion, Jim Blasingame of the Small Business Advocate radio show, sent an ezine this week discussing the link between one's spirit and their success.
By opening our hearts to discovery, Jim wrote, people explore beyond the bounds of their comfort barriers in the pursuit of growth - and all the challenges and opportunities it can bring.
That same morning, BizChampions coach Roberto Suarez wrote seven simple words in his "Weekly Intention" inspirational message to subscribers: "Notice your spiritual, mental and physical charm..."
I spoke last week to a group of home-based travel agents, closing with the concept of how a mantra can help boost one's spirit and enthusiasm when working from the confines of the solo environment. I offered two: The Desiderata (you know: "Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there is in silence..."). The second was from Henry David Thoreau, and it has hung on my office wall for the better part of a decade: "The really efficient laborer will be found not to crowd his day with work, but will saunter to his task surrounded by a wide halo of ease and leisure."
Each day - especially those when challenges rise to confront us and make us question why we've chosen our paths, we must find solace in the comfort of something calming, soothing and poignant.
It can be a walk to clear the mind, smooth music on iTunes, or some other respite. To me, these inspirationals - or mantras - help serve as guide posts along the frenetic path of work and life. What are yours?
