Business, Health and Truth
OK so you want to start honouring your truth but
your truth this time seems to be telling you to
take another three days off work because
you’re going down with a chest infection and
you’re on antibiotics. Take the time off work
and your boss might think you’re a
‘sick-note’, you can’t cut it
anymore and that he should let you go. Hmm,
powerful fearful stuff.
Go to work whilst ill and on treatment and the
chances are you will not be able to perform close
to your highest potential, you could screw up
future business by making a careless error brought
about by your ill-health and your condition could
deteriorate leading to more treatment and prolonged
absence from work. Hobson’s choice? Let’s
go through what it really means.
Living your truth means first, and foremost,
listening to the messages that come through the one
vehicle that you cannot possibly do without in this
life – your body. The body passes on
information to us everyday about our real needs
– our truth. We have learnt to take things,
pills, medication etc to stamp out the messages
that the body gives us – colds, headaches,
chest pains are seen as annoyances that must be
obliterated immediately.
But what if they are messages that could help
guide us into achieving what we are really here to
achieve. What if they are little golden nuggets
sent as clues to help us take perfect action. You
may scoff at the idea, but how can you be 100%
certain that this is not, at least, a
possibility?
When someone comes to me concerned with this
question I ask them to go into truth. Ask yourself
questions such as ‘Have I been purposefully
underperforming?’, ‘Have I been
purposefully negative, difficult or
argumentative’?, ‘Have I tried to bring
my company/colleagues down?’. Then ask
yourself more positive questions such as ‘Have
I tried my best given the circumstances?’,
‘Have I contributed fairly?’. The answers
to these questions will tell you your truth. The
chances are that you will find yourself answering
that you have done OK – that you have tried to
do what you could – you may not be able to
judge yourself as having done your best but it is
unusual for people to find that they have been
working deliberately to hurt or damage their
company or colleagues.
Once you get to this place you are in a very
powerful position. You see if you have been acting
with ‘love’ or truth, the law of this
universe which suggests that whatever you give out,
more of the same will come back to you, will ensure
that your actions must attract back into your life
more truth – ie more good stuff. And the thing
is, the ‘universe’ already knows how you
have been. And when you have been acting in a
‘loving’ or positive way it recognises
this and makes it possible for you to receive the
support that you will need to continue ‘living
your truth’. In this case it may be by making
sure that you have the time off work without
getting sacked or anyone docking any brownie points
off you!
So, when you are placed into a situation where
you are doubting whether you have done enough to
retain your job, where you are not certain whether
you can really take another day off or whether you
can really ask for that well-deserved pay rise
– ask yourself those questions of truth again.
And if you get those positive answers rest assured
that the universe already knows those answers
– and you will, at some point, reap the
rewards of your actions.
