The deeper we work

Posted on by philipdodson

The deeper we work, as in focused undistracted work that really matters and is of high value (so not WhatsApping, emailing or clicking on bait) the better we become at it and the greater the value of the work is and the more rewarding it is to us. 

We get into a state of ‘flow’ where the real soulful essence of our true self is being manifested via the amazingly creative tool that is our mind into something real and meaningful.

We are all creative, as we are all creators. That is our purpose in life to create not to consume.

When we take time to focus on one thing and one thing only in a distraction-free environment where we can totally commit to concentrating on our work then what flows from us is unstoppable, we are so in the moment and the joy of doing in a conscious state that we are freed from the restrictions and sabotage of the thinking mind. When we are simply being and working deeply we are allowing our true creative self to flow out from our soul and we are able to create our very best work that enriches us and the world.

Being on the network ensures no value

In today’s networked world of the internet, Google, social media, e-mail, podcasts, blogs, and the list goes on, it is easy for others to find someone who is doing better work than us if we opt for mediocre or just good enough.

The best work we are capable of now is all that we can aim for and that requires us to focus on that thing and that alone.

Therein lies the paradox, we have the amazing opportunity of a potentially limitless audience for our work. However, the more time we spend in the shallow networked world, the poorer our focus will be on producing our best work.

Working in depth and with total focus on work that really counts is the skill that will enable us to survive the networked world and become valuable. Nothing of any great value comes easy or is produced without a deep focus.

Being constantly on the network will ensure we build no value.
