Good Direction verses Bad projection: Rule#3 of Cooking With Business

From my Blog: Cooking With Business

Long term direction is something that very few people have. In fact, even people who have no long term direction and KNOW it inherently are choosing to have one. It is the same way with food. We must learn the rules, apply the rules, and then learn how to consciously disregard them altogether. This achievement itself again requires long-term direction.

Entrepreneurs are not as flash in the pan as one would think. Behind every move people make in the business world comes with SOMEONE’S countless hours of research or laboring.

The truth is, having to maintain true direction is more important, even if it means you have to be poverty stricken for while. Even the biggest Gurus will tell you that you have to wade the marsh to get to the mountain. That’s half the fun, right? But the marsh is where we learn the most, and any shortcuts we take to cross that cost us our identity will certainly cost us an equal amount of prosperity, lost in the long term. Short term shortcuts=Long term losses. It’s basic Math.

The balance of one’s physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental states is paramount to anything else. Moving ahead without it may grant temporary satisfaction, but in the long term, destroys the self and endangers others with behavior and actions that are not coming from the heart.

We cook this way when we approach the stove as chefs. We bring nothing to the dish except our honest selves. Often, a chef uses the food they prepare as part of balancing themselves in respect to the food. The food isn’t simply there, its part of it, and that’s just as beneficial to everyone and thing involved as a chef with a pure heart.

Be honest. You’re not fooling anybody. And if you are, chances are the people that you are fooling are also in the process of fooling themselves as well. That’s why they are around you and you around them.

Once you discover true direction, you have everything. From this, sprouts confidence, perseverance, determination, honor and happiness. Happiness in knowing that everything that you do is for a purpose, a reason, a particular direction. Now finding the BIG direction in our lives is a tall order to fill for many. When one sees the entire journey in each step however, the journey to the truth gets shorter.

Pay attention to what you are doing NOW. Everything in nature boils down to things at the cellular level. Such is the same with the Way in our lives. It’s the tiny interactions and things we do and say that have the most effect in our lives. Within being conscious around your tasks at hand, you may develop an appreciation for the bird you also have in your hand and leave the other two dishonest birds alone in the bush. They are a distraction. You can only truly give your attention to one thing at a time. Even if you are multi-tasking. One Thing? That’s right. One Thing. And that one thing is, drum roll please………

Honesty.
