If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow.

Communicating with Compassion
These days, life is fast. Life is rushed. In my humble opinion, in creating computers and on-line abilities, it has made us want to get that much more done in that much less time. How many times have you received an e-mail and thought “She’s in a bad mood!”

Communicating with Compassion is a truly remarkable gift to have. It allows love to flow among us despite what goes on in the outside world. So many times we are tired, rushed, or in a negative space (especially when we watch the news). A little compassoin and hope spans miles in the face of mankind.

Take a look at the following 5 element Chinese Medicine Wheel model for your career and see which of these imbalances may be holding you back in your career (this particular model is for doctors and holistic practitioners but you can apply it to any career):

Earth imbalance: I am not good enough, therefore I must exhaust myself in the endless effort to give patients what they need. I think I want to see more patients but, although I hate to admit it, I am pretty fried seeing the few patients I have. I attract a lot of needy, high maintenance patients.

Metal imbalance: I am not worthy of success and abundance, therefore I never attract the kind of money that I’d like and my practice always feels unstable. Even though I undercharge for my services, it is hard for me to fill my books. My patients seem to cancel a lot and don’t value my policies. Sometimes I feel invisible, like no one even knows or cares that I am here. I attract patients who either can’t afford me or have a hard time seeing the value in what I offer.

Water imbalance: I either put money first or pretend that it doesn’t matter at all. Either way, I am run by fear. My treatments don’t feel as powerful as I’d like them to and my patients don’t refer others to me as much as I’d like. I have been in a low grade state of fight or flight and can’t stop thinking about how to make this work financially, which I know is blocking me from my true potential. I attract patients who don’t offer enough of themselves in the treatment process. While I want to treat them at a deeper level, they just don’t seem to understand or be interested in this.

Wood imbalance: It is me against the world. There is a lot of competition in my area, so I have to try really hard to be successful. Usually I feel angry that it’s not happening as quickly as I’d like. Even though I put so much effort into it, my practice often feels stagnant, like it’s not moving forward. The harder I try, the more hopeless I feel. I attract really challenging patients who like to argue with me much of the time.

Fire imbalance: I am either really into my practice and totally in love with it or I have the urge to flee it as quickly as possible. My commitment wavers, which keeps the whole thing feeling superficial. Sometimes I wonder if the main reason I have done OK in my practice is because I am so friendly and I know how to connect with people. I attract patients who want to be my friend; they talk a lot and make me lose track of my schedule. Although they seem to love me, my patients can be flighty. They tend to disappear without notice. The whole thing can feel chaotic.

Be honest with yourself. If you are not at the place you’d like to be in your career, it is almost certain that one of these imbalances is the weak link for you. Can you see how this is not only holding you back in your career, but is preventing you from offering your very best to your employers, customers, patients, etc?
