The Latest Insight
The Real Reason your Best Clients Buy
As an accomplished coach or consultant, you already know that growth doesn’t come from mastering more tactics or collecting more tools. True evolution happens when you step into the next expression of who you’re called to be.
I am the one
Am I the only one? Maybe not. Is my neighbor the one to do their thing? Yes. And is it true that I am the one to do my thing? Yes, absolutely.
The Calm in your Calling
If you’re truly on the path of answering your calling, it will stretch you.
Over and over again.
Because every calling vibrates at the frequency of unity consciousness, which rattles the conditioned self.
Blessing it all
This is an invitation to bless all things.
Everything becomes blessed by blessing what is…
By claiming that all things are well… even when we don’t know how that’s true.
Give them HOPE!
A number of years ago, I interviewed a guy named Stephen Goldstein. He’s a former Sr. Producer for Oprah and a former congressional lawyer who regularly put people on the stand in front of the Senate.
Over time he started to see that what made someone a great guest on Oprah were the same things that would make them highly effective on the stand in front of congress.
Called to serve WHO???
One of the most mind-bending experiences in answering your calling is when you’re called to serve people who archetypally represent the type of people you’ve felt wounded by.
This is a decidedly second half of the hero’s journey experience…
Between Identities
When you are called to a new level of your calling, it often entails an evolution in who you’re serving, the service you’re providing, and the role you are playing in society.
It also entails an upleveling of who you think you are.
Your calling’s time frame: yours or its?
I’ve been struggling with the time it’s been taking for a project in my business to come together… and I’ve been rather nervous and pissy about it. Apparently I needed this week’s message… and I hope it serves you as well!
What if your calling wasn’t really… yours?
What if your calling wasn’t really… yours?
What if it were simply a calling that you heard?
What if it was something that was already floating around in the collective – already animated, already alive, already moving in the world, just looking for vehicles of expression…
And because you happened to be a particularly well suited vehicle, you caught wind of it?
From recognition to belonging
Being known and being recognized are two massively different things.
Being recognized is being seen, rewarded, valued, and praised for what you can do.
We recognize and praise Beyoncé for Sasha Fierce – the persona she puts on to stage.
And if we grew up feeling like we didn’t belong (like so many in the helping/serving professions do)…
We sought out recognition in lieu of true belonging.
Liberation through Belonging
We will never belong where we fit. Fitting is not the same as belonging. Belonging comes from fiercely attending to the creative act of living your life, following your calling, rooting into your deeper knowing and allowing it to usher you into a field of possibility that your logical mind knows very little, if anything, about.
The more you allow yourself to be in this fierce orientation to a creative endeavor of living your life, the more you will step out of the places you fit and find your way to where you belong…
Because first and foremost, you will belong to you.
From Certainty to Source: Embracing Failure on the Path of Paradigm Change
I’m someone who generally engages in things that I feel I have a pretty good chance of succeeding at. So I need to remind myself to let failure be an option – to consciously put that option back on the table.
Maybe I’ll fail at something – so what!
Do it anyway, because it’s where I feel called to go, what I feel called to do, and the next thing to explore. If I don’t allow failure to be part of the mix as one potential outcome, I stall out, drag my feet, and avoid the thing that I want to do because I feel inadequate around it.
Your calling is not an obligation.
Your calling is not an obligation. The universe does not say, “You must.” The universe does not insist. The universe does not put demands on you – it simply supports you.
