Observing this gnarly old She-oak I could not help but see it as a very realistic and graphic representation of a fully lived life.
It is both brutal and beautiful at the same time. Whatever trials and tribulations, this three has just kept going and pushing through.
In so many ways, we as humans are so much more vulnerable but also resilient in comparison because we have developed thoughts and meanings - strategies and tactics.
Surely this special feature is only positive and exceptionally valuable, purely designed for us to find clever solutions to whatever Life throws at us?
Well, maybe this is not quite as simple as that.
Have you ever experienced doubt and worry? Overthinking what is going on? Experiencing a lack of clarity and stress?
Our thoughts and smarts are not always working to our advantage, sometimes it is even the opposite and the result is that we are not doing so well..
It is safe to assert that in the vast majority of cases, these thoughts are made up by our own experiences and meanings that we have developed about ourselves.
The good news is that this is all within our own realm of control, equally - the bad news is that this is all within our own realm of control.
My main focus as Coach is to help my client identify what is going on for them (internal story telling), and from there develop strong and lasting strategies to change thinking and responses.
Does any of the above resonate with you, about your own situation or someone near to you in life or at work?
Why not make contact for a free and non committing conversation to explore if you are my client and I am your Coach?
I would love to hear from YOU!
