Self-maintenance
It takes tremendous (often exhausting) effort
to keep the false sense of yourself in business.
The problem is
that you may have worked at it for so long
you take it for granted.
What if you put no time and energy into:
Defending yourself,
Justifying yourself,
Judging yourself,
Criticizing yourself,
Pitying yourself,
Condemning yourself,
Devaluing yourself,
Hating yourself,
Comparing yourself,
Worrying about yourself,
Resenting yourself,
Numbing yourself?
Instead, what if you were just
aware of yourself
and the thoughts and feelings
that arise?
This may allow you
to see and experience
That which really maintains you,
and thereby give you
a whole new sense of Self.
