Are You Lost In A Costume Everyday of Your Life?

Are You Lost In A Costume Everyday of Your Life? Are you in costume everyday of your life? At work, at home are you who you really are, or are you role playing all the time…have you lost track of who you really are?

Are you really you when you are working with your clients and customers?

The point of this question is to ask “do you assume a role”? Essentially are you in costume when you show up to work with clients, customers, or when you are out networking. Is this what you do?

In addition, do you have MVS syndrome? This stands for Multiple Value Systems. There is the value system you ask your family to live by. The one you live by in your place of worship. Then there is the value system you utilize at work and with your employees, your clients and your customers. Maybe you cut corners. Maybe you do not treat all of your employees as real people with a real life outside of the workplace.

Do you have MVS?

Allow me to apologize if anyone is feeling attacked. As you will see these are questions meant to have you reflect on yourself for a few moments. Let’s take a quick timeout.

In case the calendar has slipped your mind, this is the end of October! Which means it is time to conduct a few activities for next year. A few of these might include:

  1. Strategy for next year.
  2. Goals for next year.
  3. Monthly plan for next year.
  4. Events you are attending/hosting next year.
  5. Vacations you are taking next year.

There is more. Where you are able to, add in dates, timelines and due dates and put these in place as well.

Okay, back to the main article.

People can feel someone who is not authentic a mile away.

Why does anyone even go there? Why not just be yourself? Why not be honest about who you are and what you value and care about?

More often than you might imagine the answer is fear. There is a fear of failure. By acting as someone else, there is a feeling that you will not be the failure it will belong to this ‘other’ person and not you.

This is not the only answer or reason. It is one possibility. Another is a lack of confidence.

Again by ‘playing’ another role it is like putting on the Superman outfit.

My suggestion is to be yourself all the time. If wearing the Superman outfit makes you feel better fine. Wear it all the time then!
