Beingness

Just reached another career milestone? 

I’ve got news for you: this isn’t just another notch on your CV. 

It's an opportunity for spiritual growth and unlocking your soul's potential.

***

Each new milestone invites you to expand into the next level of your being.

Regardless of the type of achievement - big promotion, doubling your revenue, speaking at TED -  it requires shedding old patterns and embodying a new way of being. This is an evolution towards a more authentic, empowered, and expanded self-expression.

Conventional wisdom says with each big jump, you should focus on:

  • Acquiring new skills

  • Developing sound habits

  • Cultivating a deep network

Here's the truth: You’re already a badass. 

You have the abilities, routines, and connections that have brought you this far. As you continue to advance, it’s less about external factors and more about surpassing the limitations of your internal state. To succeed, you must expand into the next level of your being.

Your ability to "be" drives your ability to "do".

Gandhi's words, "Be the change you want to see in the world," is not some kitschy statement. It’s a powerful blueprint for leadership. As a transformative leader, your goal is to inspire others by igniting a spark within them. You inspire them, connecting them with a vision that resonates deeply within. 

But it all starts with you. 

You’re the torchbearer, the embodiment of that vision. To achieve this, your very being must expand to match the magnitude of transformation you seek.

As within, so without. 

This is a journey of full presence.

It requires attuning to emerging frequencies, and opening to new possibilities and perspectives. It's a sacred dance of growth and expansion, tapping into your limitless potential. As you do, you infuse new vibrations into the fiber of your being, creating a new script for your DNA. In your expanded beingness, you are the vessel of transformation, a catalyst for profound change. 

So, how can you begin to expand your being?

Here are two ideas to get you started - they may sound deceptively simple, but conscious leaders throughout history have made time for such practices because they create space for transformation.

1/ Spend time in nature without any distractions or technology. Allow yourself to connect with the natural world, and be held by its rhythms. 

2/ Try a new hobby that takes you out of your comfort zone. This could be something physical, such as rock climbing, or something creative, such as painting. Embrace the discomfort and and notice how it expands your perspective and capacity for growth.
