Great read! Have you ever considered the reality that you may be bankrupting your corporation? You may be thinking, I dont even have a corporation….how does this apply to me? I would challenge you to re-think that statement. While you may not own a typical corporation, the one you do own has enormous value. In fact, it is more valuable than any other corporation in the world and has a major impact on your happiness, your joy and your peace. This corporation is complete with shareholders who have voting rights. Dont you think its time to learn about this corporation and consciously decide who you allow to own stock and if so, how much? Some of your current stockholders may have more control of your corporation than you do and could potentially bankrupt your business. What am I talking about? I am taking about YOU. The question is: Who do you allow to have voting stock in your corporation… IN YOU? You are the Chairman of the Board and you get to decide who votes. At all times, you have the power/right, to increase or decrease the stock others have in your corporation. You have complete and total control. It is important to realize this truth so you can be in command of your emotions and responses. Anyone we allow to impact our self-esteem or mood has voting stock in our corporation. Who do we typically allow to impact us in this way? Who do we allow to vote in our corporation? The answer is: those we are in relationship with….our spouse, parents, children, neighbors, co-workers, friends and the list goes on. In light of this list, you might ask yourself if you want to allow your neighbor, whom you see as little as once a week, to have the same voting rights/impact, in your corporation, as your Mother. Probably not. Are you deeply affected if a stranger says something unkind about you? I doubt it, unless you have seriously thin skin and a very weak ego. My point is, we shouldnt allow any and everybody to affect how we feel about ourselves. UNLESS WHAT SOMEONE SAYS ABOUT US HAS AN AFFECT ON HOW WE FEEL ABOUT OURSELVES, IT WILL NOT HAVE AN AFFECT ON US. On the other hand, if someone we are in relationship with and care about offers constructive criticism, it will most likely affect us. We have all heard the saying, Those closest to us are the ones that hurt us the most. Its important to note that if we dismiss someones comments with a catty or angry response, we simply provide EVIDENCE that the person making the statement has voting power in our corporation. If the person truly had no voting power, their words would not cause any emotional reaction. We decide who has sufficient voting power to impact our corporation, our emotions and feelings. Most of us have only 3 or 4 voters with sufficient voting power to seriously impact our emotions. Typically we only have a few who tip the scales and although their words sometimes sting, we may want to consider the validity behind their comments and evaluate if we want to make a change in our conduct. We are not talking about becoming PERFECT, we are talking about growing. It is important to realize that you have voting rights in others corporations as well. You have the power to either hurt or build up those who have given you voting power in their lives. Once you are aware of this reality, I want to encourage you to watch your words because you have the potential to either deeply wound or greatly encourage those you are in deep relationship with. Are you beginning to track with me? We get to decide who has the most impact on our emotions. If someone continually uses words to deflate us, we can decide whether or not to reduce their stock or even remove them as stockholders. This is often called divorce, which is a good example of becoming physically but not emotionally detached. In other words, even going through an actual divorce doesnt necessarily reduce someones stock until we are completely unaffected by their words. Our anger is evidence we havent removed their voting power in our lives. Awareness is the first step towards change. Identify the people who have sufficient stock in your corporation to impact you. Identify them by name. Maybe even write them down. This helps with your awareness concerning why they have the ability to hurt you at such a deep level. We all need relationships that have the ability to impact our lives, especially in our marriages. If we want a great marriage, we must give our spouse sufficient voting power to impact our decisions. Why? It means you care a great deal about how your spouse feels about you. Those who claim not to care what anyone thinks are either in denial or very lonely. Prisons are full of people who claim they dont care about anyone or anything. They often live only for their own needs or desires and dont allow anyone sufficient voting power to be impacted. Just remember, its your corporation and you are the one that gives out the stock. You have the power to give it and you have the power to take it back.
