Religion professor Wade Roofs has defined spirituality as “knowing our deepest selves and what is sacred to us.” We have found that it has both universality and great utility. Powerful transformations occur for our clients when they are able to shift their focus from filling deficits to cultivating deeper values and defining a vision for themselves. As the tennis player Arthur Ashe once put it: “From what we get in life, we make a living. From what we give, we make a life.”
宗教学教授Wade Roofs将灵性定义为“了解最深层的自己和最珍视的事物”。我们发现这项定义放之四海皆准并很强的适用性。当顾客能够把专注力从弥不足而转向培养深层价值观、为自己确立愿景(目标)时,他们才会发生强有力的巨大改变。正如网球运动员Arthur Ashe所说“从生活所赐中,我们谋生;从付出中,我们真正地生活”!
When Andy came to see us late in 2001, he had lost his way. The president and CEO of a large real estate development company, he felt completely disengaged at work. “I had been through a series of health challenges, and the medication regime had left me feeling bloated and sluggish,” he explained, “but really these were symptoms of something bigger. For nearly all my life, I felt passionate about my work. Then I ran into some difficult management issues, and I had some frustrating setbacks. It got to the point that I didn’t even care about getting up to go to work in the morning. I was deep into victim mode and I needed a lifeline.”
当安迪在2001年底找到我们时,他迷失了。他是一家大型房地产公司的总裁和CEO,他觉得自己完全游离在工作之外,他说“我的健康曾经出过一些问题,药物治疗让我感觉肿胀迟缓,但这不是最严重的。我毕生对工作充满了热情,后来我遇到了管理的问题,我感到非常受挫,甚至连起床工作的动力都没了!我是深陷受害者模式,我需要一条救生索”。
Defining what mattered to him most created a breakthrough for Andy. He settled on five key values—persistence, integrity, excellence, creativity and commitment. They became his touchstone—and the source of his motivation for change.
确立自己最重视的价值观给Andy带来了突破。他确定了5个关键价值观:恒心、正直、优秀、创造性和担当,它们成为他的检验标准,也是改变的动力来源。
“All day, every day, whether I’m at work or I’m exercising or I’m with my family, I ask myself if what I’m doing is serving my values,” Andy explains. “If my motivation for exercising hard had been fitting into the pants that I wore two years ago, that would have worked for a while, but it wouldn’t have lasted. When I’m on the treadmill now and I feel like getting off, what I think about is persistence, integrity and commitment. Without linking up to those values, I’d be asking myself “Why the hell am I doing this?” and I’d probably quit. Andy brings a similar thought process to his eating habits. In the first two months after working with us, he lost thirty-two pounds. Between working out and losing weight, his energy increased dramatically.
“每天,不论是工作、锻炼还是陪伴家人,我会问自己现在做的是否能服务于自己的价值观”,Andy解释说,“若是我努力健身的动力是能穿上2年前的裤子,可能会短暂有效,但不会持久。当我在跑步机上时我感觉到要放弃的时候,我会想到恒心、正直和担当。若是没法关联到这些价值观,我就问自己什么要这么做?”,然后有可能放弃。Andy对其饮食习惯也有类似思考,在与我们合作的前2个月中,Andy瘦了32磅(约29斤),通过健身和减重,他的精力水平显著提升了。
Andy called on the fuel of purpose very directly at work. “When I’m on the job,” he explains, “I'm asking myself ‘Am I generating the kind of leadership, providing direction, setting strategy and responding to the marketplace in a way that is reflective of my five key values?’ For me the values create a very simple mirror. They keep me on purpose, and they renew me when I find myself wandering off course. My sense of commitment is way up, and I’m communicating that energy to others. I'm leaping out of bed in the mornings. I have absolutely retaken responsibility for the results of my company. I’m leading with purpose, which I wasn’t doing before.”
Any也把价值观(目标的动力)应用到工作中。当我在工作的时候,我会问自己,我的领导力方式、提供的方向、制定的战略和回应市场的方式是否反映了我这5个关键价值观。对我而已,价值观提供了一面简明的镜子,当我偏离轨道时,它能够让我关注目标、恢复精力。我担当感在上升,也把这份能量传递给别人。在早晨时,我能从床上一跃而起。我已经对公司的结果负全部责任。目标正指引着我,这也是以前从未有过的事。
我的思考My Thinking
不断审视自己的价值观并依照它们做事,可以让我们排除很多事情的干扰。这就好比爱丽丝没有自己的清晰目标,所以她只能漫游。价值观的本质就是知道什么最重要,然后用它来衡量周围的一切。说得极端一点,与自己价值观无关的都是绊脚石!
Regular review of our values and handle things accordingly can prevent distraction of surroundings, eg Alice can only wander as she has no clear purpose which rooted from one's values. The fundamental of values is grasping what is the most important and then judge everything. Extremely speaking, anything irrelevant to values is a barrier!
清晰的价值观可以影响我们的精力管理的各个维度,可以影响我们生命的各个维度,包括健康、生活、工作、人际关系等等,花大量的时间和精力不断打磨自己的价值观是非常有意义的。
Clear values can impact across all dimensions of Energy Management and same to all aspects of our lives, including health, living, work, relationship. It's essentially meaningful if we invest a lot of time and energy to sharpen our values.
