Coach's Corner

“It never ceases to surprise me at the infinite capacity of the human mind to resist the introduction of useful knowledge.”
- Thomas Raynesford Lounsbury

Conquering our mind is the most significant win

Living a meaningful life is a balance between being and doing, and self and others. Throughout my sixty-year self-discovery journey I have focused on finding my truth and moving forward with clarity. I have realized I can never stop learning. Experiencing change enables for something more real to unfold and to emerge. 

Conquering our mind is the most significant win we will experience in our lifetime. A negative mind will never produce a positive life. The quality of our thoughts reveals themselves in our words, behavior, habits, thinking, beliefs, values, discussions, and experiences. Confidence and competence do not often go hand in hand. We would do well to remember that. We must seek to develop new mental muscles which serve us for years to come. 

A dangerous concession is allowing others to do your thinking for you.
We must become more informed about our own bodies and minds. Incredible things happen when we separate ourselves from negativity and fear based thinking. The mind needs to be stretched beyond its comfort zone to stay fit and vibrant.

Our time is limited, fleeting and precious. Your progress starts where you are and with your first step.  Learn to conquer your doubts. The cost of pleasing everyone will always be very high. Do not become extremely preoccupied in what others think of you. The time will never be right to start something. Waiting for the perfect moment is everlasting. 

On your journey never take life too seriously because you and I will not get out alive. We only have so many days on Earth. Make every one count. Allow 2019 to be a year of dreams fulfilled, stories told, books read, truths revealed, positive growth activated, courageous leadership, “we” and not “me,” healing love, unity, understanding with new eyes, and open minds with richer possibilities. The greatest years of your life are in front of you. Things always have a way of working out for the best!
