Many years ago, a consultant came to our school system and taught us about the power of self coaching. I used her approach with students and the results were awesome. Now, I use her self coaching language and actions myself as I work towards some deep, yet simple dreams and ambitions for the future. To cheer yourself on and positively coach yourself ahead are powerful actions when it comes to meeting your dreams and living the good life.
My deep, but simple dreams for the future are amorphous at best. I know some of the elements and can feel the direction, but I can't exactly put into words where I'm headed. This mystery is both intriguing and daunting at the same time.
Some of the elements that belong to this direction are clear, and some of the elements that don't belong are clear too.
Clearly the elements that belong to this path include humanity, kindness, love, health, generosity, listening, responding, nature, service, warmth, and presence. And, some of the elements that don't belong include hate, bigotry, harm, hurt, callousness, disrespect, monopoly, complexity and extravagance.
So as I cheer myself on and coach myself ahead, I will keep the elements related to this direction in mind--I'll build my capacity in those spheres. I know in my heart that this is important work, but I don't know specifically where it will take me. Onward.
