The scale of the work that I am preparing to undertake is growing beyond what it is I can cope with alone, and provide a high level of quality . I am motivated to have the impact to cultivate the qualities that will lead to change in our community. The conversations that I am having keep causing this project to grow and there is only one of me. I need help and clearly the universe wishes for me to meditate on the spiritual significance of helpfulness. Let me first take some time and explain the thoughts that have come up for me. Thoughts pop up that say, "...but you created this demand and you should be the one to reap the benefits alone." It pains me to admit this as these sentiments are so opposite to the very work that I wish to do that of inclusion. I want to grow out of my personal imperfections and out of the structural and behavioral assumptions of the societies in which I have been raised, which colour my view of the world.The view that is rooted in individualism and selfishness. The goal and the means to attain it is unity. If I am unable to set my heart in this direction and embody the qualities this work requires, how may I be able to explain it and stimulate it in others? There is such a strong societal pull toward selfishness and greed but these are the exact innate feelings that reflect in our actions which do not promote collective cooperation, that for which the world desperately thirsts. These times call for us to be different, to not pander to the popular ways of acting. I am certain that prosperity will be in our futures if it is we work together to bring it about. I have a friend with whom I have been sharing my exploits with this work. He has been keenly interested and has been thinking deeply about the best ways for me to bring this about. This soul understands and is passionate about the kind of change that expands this conversation around equity, diversity and inclusion to which we may forge a path toward peace. As I consider beginning this conversation, I am apprehensive about the response but I know that this is the right thing to do. It feels good in my heart and it is a manifestation of the very principles that underpin this business. Making a difference in this world requires us to wed our efforts to that of others so that our impact may be magnified. I want to be the kind of person that can inspire nobility in others. I seek to solve the difficult problems that our community faces and the magnitude of this requires help. I intend to enter into a meaningful and productive relationship with another soul to bring this about.
The need to find like-minded others to share our work with is so important but also fraught with possible pitfalls. While it is essential to learn to work together toward common goals it is often difficult to either "let go" of how we think things should be done, or to trust that the other members of the team or partnership will follow through on their parts. It's a balancing act that some of us do better than others. I'm one of the latter but I'm working on it. It's hard to trust that it will be done well even if I don't do it myself. 😏
