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

Humble Yourself Along the Journey

Our mind was once an empty attic. Over time it has been filled with the furnishing of knowledge, stories, and beliefs. Protect yourself from falsehoods and lies. One of the greatest lessons to be learned is how to distinguish between fact and opinion. We need to cultivate well-developed habits of keen observation. Becoming comfortable with the uncomfortable is essential even if it means seeking alternative viewpoints on what we believe, what we do, and what we possess. Auditing our life, thoughts, and performance with an active, engaged and inquiring mind provides a unique opportunity for us to explore the outer depths of who we are.

During times of change, certain habits can hinder our personal growth and self-discovery transformation. Making a living is not the same as making a life. There might be times when you are in the dark as to why you are here on Earth. In those moments, clarity is waiting to emerge. Do not confine yourself to your comfort zones. Get out of your own way and holistically explore how you are feeling while shifting your mindset towards what is in your control at that moment. What we think, we create. What we feel, we attract. What we imagine, we become. 

Always humble yourself along the journey. Do not achieve a short-term victory at the expense of a long-term enemy. If a situation does not feel right, do not let logic override intuition. Promise yourself to enjoy every minute of your precious day. Seize the opportunity. Create your own possibilities while prioritizing making others feels good about themselves. Do not brag about yourself. Boast about others. No one has ever become poor by giving. The most precious gift we can offer anyone is our attention
