What is a boss? According to Webster’s dictionary and google a boss is a person who exercises control or authority. One who is in charge of a worker or organization.
Step back and take a moment to realize how many authority figures have shaped your life.
Home:Parents
Our first authority figure. How many times did you hurry to turn off the computer or TV hit the lights and jump into bed when you where up past bedtime and heard your parents coming up stairs?
School:Teachers
Did you ever rush to complete homework before class began, hide passing notes or worry about getting in trouble?
Work:Management
Have you ever watched a retail store when a senior manager, or district manager (company bigwig) enters a building? You can IMMEDIATELY see the panic and energy shift.
IT IS ALL REALLY ODD
This has me thinking, what if this is all just an illusion?
What if we alter the illusion of authority to make ourselves do better, be better, live better?
Instead of panicking in the site or presence of authority we instead will have a solid calm because we ourself are a boss.
I challenge you to take control of your life.
