DIVINE INSPIRATION

Hey all,

 

Mark here. Here's what we have in store for this week...

 

WHAT I'M WRITING ABOUT

My focus this week has been on...

 

Clarity and Discipline: Mastering Focus for Leadership

 

'Front-sight focus' means zeroing in on what truly matters amidst chaos and distraction, which requires clarity and discipline. Developing this skill enhances your ability as a leader to stop, look, and listen to yourself, others, and your environment. Getting clear is a daily practice that takes discipline and willingness. 

 

Training your focus as a leader is not just a skill—it's a transformative and essential journey. It's more than just about personal productivity; it's about learning to align your actions with your values, goals, and the impact you want to make. This alignment gives us all a sense of purpose and propels us to make a difference in times of adversity. For me, it's one of the things that keeps me inspired and motivated.

 

Over the years, my experience coaching top executives and Olympic-level athletes has taught me that achieving peak performance is a continuous process of asking the right questions and making necessary adjustments. So, this week, ask yourself: Are you fully aware of your top quality as a leader? And are you open to examining what isn't working and making the necessary changes?

John Mackey is a notable American entrepreneur and the co-founder of Whole Foods Market. He served as CEO from its start in 1980 until 2022, transforming the grocery industry by emphasizing organic food and sustainable practices. Recognized as Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 2003, Mackey is a prominent advocate for conscious capitalism, harmonizing ethical business practices with profitability.

 

Mackey is also a vocal libertarian, known for his critical views on labor unions and his contributions to the business and social responsibility sectors through books like "Conscious Capitalism" (2013). His leadership at Whole Foods, in which he grew into a multi-billion dollar company, has made him a significant figure in promoting high standards for quality and environmental stewardship in business.

PRACTICE OR HABIT TO TRY


The Reaching Practice: Qi Gong Exercise for Daily Energy Balance


This practice stretches your body and aligns your breath and mind, fostering a sense of centeredness and vitality. Begin by standing tall, hands at chest height. Imagine an invisible wall in front of you and slowly walk your hands up this wall until your arms are fully extended overhead. Throughout, maintain conscious, deep breathing. 


Next, reach upwards towards the sun, inhaling deeply to draw in its revitalizing energy. As you exhale slowly, bring your hands down in front of your body, envisioning the sun's energy flowing into you, balancing and recharging your entire system. Repeat this sequence five times daily to kickstart your day with renewed energy and harmony.
