Define: Being the Resolution
Recognizing that joy, love, and gratitude are not caused by external circumstances — they are generated from within, in every moment we are present. The shift from seeking to being.
Excerpt from the Book:
Commitment 15 combines the mastery of several of the
other commitments. As we become proficient in shifting from To Me to By Me consciousness, we move through our work and personal worlds seeing that everything is whole, perfect, and complete just as it is. There is no lack
or problem. We can express our creativity in response to invitations from life to move what is in our world to even greater beauty, alignment, productivity, efficiency, and
grace. For conscious leaders, this creative contribution flows effortlessly from the center of who they are. They are the resolution to what is missing in their world.
From Above the Line
By Me:
I commit to being the resolution or solution that is needed: seeing what is missing in the world as an invitation to become that which is required.
From below the Line
To Me:
I commit to responding to the needs of the world with apathy or resentment and doing nothing or assigning blame to others.
Practice It:
Place your attention on your world at work or at home. Allow something that is “missing” to come to your attention. (If you see this “something that is missing” as a “lack” or “problem” go back to Commitments 10, 11 and 12 to shift your perspective.)
Is there an invitation in what is “missing?” An invitation is not an obligation, a should, a responsibility or a duty. This is an invitation you’re really free to accept or reject. The invitation is to “be” and “become” something or someone that responds to what is “missing.”
Check and see if you have a “whole body YES” to the invitation.
If No:
Move on.
If Yes:
Ask yourself, “What is the universe inviting me to be or become
in this moment related to what I perceive as missing?” Listen.
If there is “doing” that is to come forth from your being and
becoming then go and do.
