I was recently asked to take on a consulting assignment in which, had I accepted, I would not have felt authentic and about which I would have been anxious and stressed (and frankly, for which I was not entirely qualified).
Luckily, I am blessed with choice. I don’t (from an economic point of view) have to take on every assignment I am offered.
After careful consideration, I chose not to take the assignment and offered it to someone else – someone excited about the job, someone passionate about the topic, someone more qualified than I am do the job.
In this instance, being authentic to myself resulted in wonderful outcomes. I was happy and unstressed. Another person became happily employed. The client received the high quality supported needed to succeed.
It was a good reminder for me to do things from my soul, that success is more easily achieved when we do things about which we are passionate.
