Today’s Mandala Message: Delegate
This week I’m working through Principle #39 from Jack Canfield’s “The Success Principles” entitled “Stay Focused on Your Core Genius”. I set my intention today to ponder delegating tasks to others. Canfield states: “When you delegate the grunt work you get to concentrate on what you love to do. You free up your time so that you can be more productive.”
I’m a firm believer in delegating; which is challenging for me because it takes trust and belief in others to do what they do best and that they will do it the way I want it done. For me it usually comes down to “time versus money”. Is it worth my time to do it myself or is it worth it to pay someone else to do it? Sometimes, though, if it costs more than what I have to spend, then I will do it myself or come up with a different plan.
A good mindfulness practice would be to consider the task(s) you can delegate to others.
So what about you? Do you tend to do everything yourself? Is it an issue of time versus money? Would it be possible for you to delegate some of what you do to others?
“Delegation is not about
getting rid of tasks;
it’s about empowering others
to help you achieve your goals.”– Laura Stack
