WOM 010: WHEN DOING BECOMES PROVING

“I need do nothing.” – Jeshua

It’s an honor to help someone see their own light. In our work with clients, I get to witness the moment when a client’s stories, desires, and power begin to organize into a clear vision. It’s holy work.

And yet, each time I prepare the first draft of that vision, a familiar tension rises. I want so badly for them to see the beauty I see that my body tightens. My mind starts whispering: Did I get it right? Am I doing them justice? Who am I to be the one articulating this?

On the surface, it looks like devotion to excellence. Underneath, it’s that old companion: the fear of not being enough. Even after years of happy clients and external validation, the voice still returns, dressed as professionalism, but carrying the same old message: prove yourself again.

Almost every time, the same miracle unfolds. After a morning of tweaking words and second-guessing every phrase, I share the document, and they light up. Not because it’s perfect, but because love and presence were in it.

Jeshua reminds us: “You are already the holy Son of God made manifest. Nothing you do can add to that, and nothing you fail to do can diminish it.”

The moment I remember that truth, the striving softens. I realize my job isn’t to prove worthiness; it’s to reveal what is already worthy, in them and in me.

Sacred Business is never about performing for approval. It’s a co-creative unfolding, where each client and each project is precisely the partnership required for the next step, not the final destination, just the next evolution.

When I rest in that knowing, the frantic edge dissolves. Faith replaces performance. Service becomes peaceful. And the work once again feels Sacred.

Reflect

  • Where does “I must get this perfect” secretly mean “I hope this proves I belong”?

  • What would shift if you treated your next deliverable as an offering instead of evidence?

  • If your worth were already settled, what one thing would you ship today as is?
