There are times in our life when we trip on our own ego.
The very thing that serves as our body armor against rejection, tough markets and tougher sales cycles . . . can simply get in our way.
I believe it gets in our way when we are too proud to allow ourselves to become vulnerable.
Vulnerable enough:
To ask others for help when we don’t understand something
To ask other Jedi how they achieved their results.
To tell our ego to go wait in the car so we can receive the lesson.
To ask for forgiveness when we screw up (not just business folks, our personal life too)
To understand that there are things in life that are beyond you or I going it alone that require Spiritual GPS
And perhaps the ultimate act of vulnerability is to acknowledge that something just flat out scares the sh*t out you!
Today, I will be at Sloan Kettering with a loved one while she has (outpatient) surgery.
And while things were caught early enough, and I will wear my tough guy exterior on my sleeve for her . . .
I will allow myself to be vulnerable enough to reach deep down in my faith and also ask you to do the same on her behalf.
And before you dismiss this as a warm and fuzzy “Castain took a wuss pill today” rant . . . there is a serious lesson in all this.
There is a time, when all of us need to acknowledge our own limitations and . . .
be vulnerable enough to reach our hands outward . . .
with a willingness to reach them upward!
Peace!
