Spiritual Fitness for Your Business
First, let?s examine the spiritual fitness of the organization. What inspired the mission of the business in the beginning? Is that uppermost in the mind of the organization's members? Is there still a mindful awareness of that core, or central purpose of the group? The word for spirit in many other languages also refers to inspiration, life, and breath. In Europe, the expression, "con brio" refers to living "with breath" but the word breath also signifies life, spirit, vitality and energy. In the Eastern world the word, "prana" means the same thing. In Asian cultures, "chi" as in the oriental exercise form "tai chi" has the same meaning. In our culture we have no such word. Our spiritual fitness is more related to belief systems or religions. The spirit of the organization and its individuals is actually where the inspiration comes from. In the example of the Wright Brothers, the idea for the airplane came from inspiration.
The spiritually fit organization uses constant reminders both visually and verbally to remind everyone to keep to the mission of the organization, not of the few, or the individual. Posting the key mission where it can be seen, speaking of the mission and using it as the main objective in projects will assist in keeping the mission in the minds of the employees and the owners. Making key decisions about the organization should be based on whether they follow the mission and how carefully they do so.
