I AM ENTITLED As I walk through all the construction that is going on our offices it gets me thinking about the results in my life. The results I have in my body, in my marriage, and in my career are in direct correlation to my capacity as a person, and not necessarily with the time and effort I’ve invested into these items. I think many times we are under the misconception that if we simply show up to the gym, “spend time” with our family, and go to every meeting and training for our business, we will obtain the results we want. When the results differ to what we expect we grow frustrated, discontent, entitled and resentful. We start to ask questions like: Why am I still gaining weight? I go to the gym! Why is my marriage falling apart? I put in the time! Why is my business failing? I go to every training and meeting! Somehow we expect the results to manifest themselves because of the time and effort we have vested. But what we fail to see is that time and effort has nothing to do with our capacity. The realization that we have not successfully prepared ourselves mentally, physically, spiritually, skillfully is the root cause of the issue, not the time and effort vested. 6-12 months ago I did not have the capacity to handle radical shifts in my life and business. The simultaneous expansion of two locations, a marriage on fire, an unbreakable bond with my children, healthier than I’ve ever been, and a booming business wouldn’t have been possible at that time. Although I wanted it…I didn’t have the capacity to be able to effectively handle all these responsibilities at the same time. I would have crashed and burned it like I have many times before. I needed to become a greater person than I was at that time. The reality is life doesn’t give you what you want based on time and effort you invest. Rather it gives you exactly and proportionately what you deserve based on your capacity. I am committed to expansion. Are you?
