What's the best thing you can bring to your business?

Over the years, I might have answered that question with some of these:

• A degree from the right place.

• A degree in the right field.

• A great network.

• Hard work

• Credibility

• Your past success

• Confidence

• Capital (and more capital)

• An accountant

• The right team

• The right strategy

• The next right strategy

All good things.... I still agree those matter.

However, I've come to strongly believe THE BEST thing we can possibly bring to our business...

It's this: Our Spiritual Self.

Consider. To be authentically "spiritual" involves living into what all of us really want ... being fully alive. The"spiritual" person brims with life, vitality, "charisma" (filled with grace), wholeness, or as Jesus called it, "life to the full." The spiritual person brings their mind, their strength AND their heart and soul into what they do. They don't live the "it's all about me lifestyle."

Authentic spirituality breathes life, gives life and transforms lives.

In the Bible, those filled with the Spirit" acquire attributes that include "love," "joy," "peace," "patience," "kindness," "goodness," and "self-control." (Galatians 5:22-23) It's what happens to those who actively experience the life connected to their Creator.

Who doesn't need more of those qualities .... especially those of us in business?
