Week 12 Mind the GAP

This is the final week of coaching! Our celebration and graduation are scheduled for next Tuesday from 6-9. This week we talked about not focusing on the GAP between our ideal self and how we currently see ourselves. In Europe they have signs that say, “Mind the Gap” posted in subways, reminding people to beware of the open space between the rail car and the platform that you stand on, waiting to enter the train. When we focus on the perceived gap between how we see ourselves now and our ideal us, it can lead to a lot of shoulds, guilt, comparisons and other things that take our focus off of where we are going. My momentums this week on based on staying out of the gap and helping others, as well as ourselves, to see the end game, including looking back at all that has been accomplished.

My affirmation:
I am in High demand as I Passionately present the Playbook Series with authenticity from my heart.

Momentums:

  1. Post my ‘out of GAP’ affirmations.

  2. Post the feedback that I received from my peers in the coaching class.

  3. Share my experience/accomplishments with at least 2 new someones this week.

  4. Look for opportunities to help others see who they really are.

  5. Follow up within two days on each response I get and accept that they value what I am offering.


That’s all that I am going to write tonight, but you can see from 1 and 2 above that I have some pretty cool things to post.

"Life is a series of pulls back and forth A tension of opposites,
like a pull on a rubber band. And most of us live somewhere in the
middle.'
Sounds like a wrestling match, I say.
'A wrestling match.'
He laughs.
'Yes, you could describe life that way.'
So which side wins, I ask.
'Which side wins?'

'Love wins. Love always wins.'" Tuesdays with Morrie,

Living creatively in the tension between who we are and who we want to become, growth occurs. Living in the dynamic tension between settling for "this is as good as it gets,and pushing forward."

Pushing forward means to our boots are dirty, our compass is handy, and we have a ready supply of trail mix in the pack. Our livesare aimed like a rifle – towards the future.

The future is moving away from the
false ego centered self which says, 'I said it, God believes it and that settles it.'

Our journey, to the real self, involves an opening of the heart filled with limitless love, joy and light.

Blessings my friend!
