Where our rhythms are, we can find hints towards our whole selves. Our integrity.
In order for a rhythm to exist we have to believe in something about it quite wholly. We must be committed to the rhythm for it to continue to exist.
I’m going to examine the rhythms that already exist in my life and look for ones to try out to see if I can discover more of my whole self.
Selling: the point is profit
Inviting: the point is experience
In some areas I’m focusing towards selling when the more integrity (intrinsic or whole) driven route is closer to inviting.
Let’s look for ways to invite rather than sell. It’ll change, not only our pitch, but also our motivation and reward
Has it ever been here?
I over use this word.
“I want to be more authentic…She is so authentic…”
Where do we actually find authenticity?
Is this the same as “there is nothing original”?
There is nothing authentic?
Authentic= of undisputed origin. Genuine.
This was a picture from my recent vacation in Cancun. My brother and his fiancé took a picture with Mayan impersonators and they chose this as their background (StarBucks) in the heart of a small city while waiting in line for a ride into Tulum.
Tulum is a Mayan ruin from 5th Century AD. It seems so Authentic. But have we taken away the authenticity?
Is authenticity something that can be taken away?
Has authenticity ever been there?
Integer-Latin-wholeness
Being able to be wholly oneself and fully true is a piece of integrity.
Not that you always stay the same and “consistent” but that you are wholly you.
This captures more of what I mean when I often use the word authentic.
Like on vacation, we are daring enough to wear the two piece, buy a new fedora, wear that interesting dress…we won’t see these people again, it’s vacation why not!? Why not bring that adventure home? Is that adventure our whole self or not? Maybe our whole self is more of the one that would rather wear a t shirt all week.
Let it be that. Just be a person of integrity.
Credit to my wife, Kelly, for most of these thoughts. She is brilliant!
