For centuries, philosophers have written about our potential to be anything, to achieve our extraordinary capacity for greatness.
And what better subject to be the guru than on yourself?
YOU are the expert on YOU.
All the answers you need, all the advice and counsel you seek, all the guidance you want is already there. No one has walked farther in your shoes; no one understands your needs, your desires, or your failings better than you.
One of the pillars of my training as a coach is
Re-read that sentence a few times applying it yourself. "I am naturally creative, resourceful and whole.”
Do you believe it? Trust in it?
If the answer is “yes” then read no more.
If “no” or that hesitant “not yet” then read on.
How do I trust that I am creative, resourceful and whole?
By simply listening. When I need my inner expert I ask the question and then I’m quiet and I listen.
Each of us is different in this process. One of my friends Karen knows the answers to her questions before she’s done asking them. I am on the other end of spectrum. The answers don’t always come right away. Sometimes they show up long after I’ve forgotten I asked the question, but they arrive nonetheless.
Then why do I need a coach?
For those of you thinking “Uh, Cindy, you just talked yourself out of a job, If I’m the expert on me, what do I need you for?”
My answer: One of the wisest people I know has the messiest, most disastrous life I’ve seen. Seeing ourselves clearly and objectively, following our inner counsel can be a monumentally difficult task. And that’s where I come in.
I ask you “What do you want?”, listen to the answer and then hold up the mirror. Because I know the BEST person to get you what you want and show you how to get there is YOU.
Love and light,
Cindy
