Sometimes The Daily Grind Makes Me Forget My Unique Brilliance

I’ve been feeling a big of angst lately. Bored at work, living through a heatwave in Toronto, feeling uncertain of my next steps. It’s been consuming my thoughts, way more than it should. And that’s made me forget a little my talents and gifts and what I have to offer the world.

Last week I spoke to a woman who quickly became a friend after our deep conversations and easy authenticity. She was telling me how my story inspires her. As she listed some of the ways I do that,  I felt myself coming back to my best self, the one who seeks to uplift others.

She suggested I could be an influencer on TikTok. What! Not something I’ve ever considered.

But it got me thinking about how many people have told me I’ve made a difference in their lives, that I’m a treasure in their lives, that I bless them. When I first heard about ‘lifters and leaners’ in life, I decided immediately that being a lifter was my calling.

Maybe I could be an influencer, on a bigger stage…maybe I should, maybe that’s my next step…something to think on some more.

Try this ONE thing

Meanwhile, do you have people who remind you of who you are? Who are they? Go book some time with them because they’ll bring you to your best self.

Want to experience coaching? I like to start with a deep, get-to-know-you conversation to see if we are right for each other. Sometimes we talk for one or two hours at no charge. I have no goal except to bring about transformation. Together we work on the lies, the self-deception, the fears of the power you perceive to be outside yourself. We work on your difficulties in making decisions and your inability thus far to make bold choices in life and to follow through and trust yourself completely to do so.

The irony for some people is that the very thing that they want the coaching for (an indecisive, half-hearted life) is what’s keeping them from deciding whether to get coaching.
