What If The Best Thing, The Only Thing To Do Is Be Your Whole, True Self?

I just returned from an exciting and rewarding work trip, for which I was a little nervous. It was a big team of leaders who were struggling with some culture and satisfaction issues, and I worried if I’d be able to help, to make a positive impact.
Just before I left, I came across these words of inspiration, “I am magnetic when I am my most authentic self.”, by Roxie Nafousi. And I felt calm and ready.
And on the same day, this from Brianna Wiest’s The Pivot Year:
“Maybe healing isn’t so much about changing but remembering. Remember who you are, how you really want to be. Learning to use what you have, to care for your life in the most human ways. Maybe it is about learning to come home to yourself, to create warmth within your own chest, to let your love pour out of you and touch everything around you.”
All I really needed to do was be myself. That is and will always be enough.

Try this ONE thing
How about you…is there anything better for you to do than be yourself? Isn’t that what you’re best at anyways?
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.
