WORDS OF WISDOM: LOOK TO NATURE FOR LESSONS

When we study nature, what is it that we learn?

Let’s take trees for example.

Trees instinctively grow towards the sky.

They also have long lives and the resilience to stand their ground, literally and figuratively through all kinds of weather.

Deep roots surely have something to do with it.

In essence, trees are the quintessential servants, creating oxygen for all to breathe and apart from the carbon dioxide that we breathe out, they ask for nothing in return.

From trees, surely we can learn the need to be sure of ourselves and to serve others as well.

There is so much wisdom to be learned through the observations of trees that can be used in life.

You too, can learn much about yourself and your life through this one simple aspect of nature.

What else can you draw upon from nature?

Observing life doesn’t mean you sit in the spectator’s booth watching it pass you by.

It means you are willing to not have the answers, willing to ask for help, willing to do whatever it takes to make your life work, and willing to marvel at the results.

Being the observer of your own life gives you the perspective that can cause a level of recognition and awareness that may very well trigger a quantum leap in what you can accomplish.

For example, after I wrote my first book ‘Bringing Life to Leadership’, I knew that I instantly had to write my next book, ‘Live Your Best Life’, the one that accompanies this course you are using to design your own best life now, however I was stuck on how to present my ideas to share with the world.

There are so many ways to frame how coaching affects people’s live and with many other people already writing about it, I was challenged as to how to make it unique and useful.

The more I pondered it, the less I seemed to have an answer.

When I finally pulled back and observed, I allowed myself to have the answer.

Instead I watched myself as I worked, I watched my clients, I studied their lives and the results they got from our work together and in their lives as a result.

I also carried in my heart all of you, the people who desire this course and focused on what was the message I felt you needed to hear to truly live your best life.

Suddenly, what I needed to do became clear.

My role in writing the book and it’s accompanying journal was to help others access their own wisdom that they already have within that was designed to lead them to opportunity and satisfaction.

With amazing speed, wisdom flew to the top of everything I wrote, to the point that the book which accompanies this course tripled in its intended length, because things just started flowing out of me at a rapid rate of knots.

Clients, mentors, family and friends responded with such enthusiasm that it become undeniable that our innate inner wisdom simply had to be the focus of the book and this course.

The speed and momentum I experience in making this decision is what I mean by quantum leaps. It can happen to you too, if you stand back and observe your life for a moment or two.

It’s called… “Observe Your Own Life”
