Is "The Voice" Keeping You Up At Night?
You know the voice don't you? It tells you that money is tight and expenses are going up. The voice makes you doubt your decisions as a leader and question the loyalty of your staff. The voice reminds you of how you don't quite measure up and how your personal life is out of balance. The voice lies to you on a regular basis. "If I only had more time..." or "When things change then I'll be happy..." You have a feeling you are missing out. You feel confused, cluttered, overwhelmed and you know there is something more. Instead of navigating toward your vision you are lost in the fog.
What's In Your Way?
Is it overwhelm, procrastination or your inability to finish a project? Is it the need to keep your unappreciative spouse happy, or is it the worry that you've lost control of your teenager? Is it the fear that paralyzes you? Or, is it the resentment you feel over the unresolved issues in your family business.
Perhaps your obstacle is the power struggles, backstabbing and office drama that hampers your productivity.
How Do You Recognize Drama?
Drama is any obstacle to your peace and prosperity. There are many ways to recognize DRAMA even though it shows up in various ways.
Drama in your business makes you feel like you are shoveling coal in the boiler room instead of navigating the ship.The signs are exhaustion, low morale, power struggles, absenteeism and of course, financial problems.
Drama in your personal life shows up in physical and emotional ways: bickering with your spouse, out of control kids with no boundaries, stress, overwhelm and feeling stuck in the middle, like you can't give enough of yourself to make everyone else happy.
Drama is the Leak in Your Boat.
You can paddle as fast as you want,(working longer and harder) but you aren’t going to get to your magical island as long as water keeps filling up your boat.
You can deny the leak, meditate, pray, focus on the positive or hire a coach to improve your rowing abilities, but until you admit you have a leak you are at the mercy of the hole in your boat. You can blame the boat maker but that doesn't close the hole in the boat
You can take massive action (LEVERAGE) and still nothing works. Neither a motor, a sail, the wind or a team of rowers can help you get to your island as long as you have a hole in your boat! Until you identify and plug the hole you will struggle. Drama keeps you from reaching your potential. The big question you must ask yourself is this:
Where Would You Be Without Your Drama?
Your answer might surprise you. You could be happy, successful, profitable, peaceful. Instead of office gossip and backstabbing you could be engaging your team and increasing your profits. Instead of fights with your kids you could look forward to time with your family. Instead of people pleasing you could be doing what you want and loving your life. Instead of shoveling coal in the boiler room you could be navigating to a new island called success!
