Trying to Do the Thing on your Own

What am I alive with this morning are the words discipline and accountability. Writing each day has been a discipline. It’s been purposeful, creative and required me to exercise my writing muscle. It's also been vulnerable, and stretched my edges. 

I’ve been accountable to a commitment I’ve made with my coach, and this accountability is my word. This matters.

Would I dare to fail? And how much does that actually matter? Can I put other commitments to the side in order to fulfil on this. What is really important to me?

What commitments are you living in right now?

A few years ago my take on any 1to1 personal work was it was there to fix something that was wrong. I had a limiting belief that I didn’t need to ask for support. I lived by a masculine code that told me any vulnerable step like this was a sign of weakness. 

Yet there is nothing to be fixed. We stand in our own right as dignified human beings. We grow in awareness. Creation is an ongoing, force of mystery and awesome beauty. You were chosen from the beginning. Your soul waits to be woken and live its dream.

We all just get a little stuck sometimes.

Are you trying to do the thing on your own?

Everyone deserves a coach who has their back, and for different reasons.

In time, I came to work with several people, each of whom has been invaluable in supporting me in transition; helping me grow in awareness and see beyond myself; assisting me to work with historical tendencies that get in my way; intuitively helping me connect with my purpose; working with my energy; grounding me in my body; and in all this, serving my soul. This frees me up to organise myself to be in service. 

How are you called to serve?

When I reflect back now on what I chose to spend money on, it dawned on me that for the price of a £3.50 cup of coffee each day I could work with someone fortnightly. So. Fourteen coffees and all those headaches, or a coach/mentor/guide and with it, an intuitive creative partnership. 

It took me a long time to get my head around that! :) 

Which one would you choose?
