Coach Lori Park

Have you ever gone through periods of uncertainty in your life?  When things appear to be confusing and murky?

What did you do?  How did you gain clarity?  Did you go within for a quiet conversation with the Creator?  Did you have a discussion with a trusted friend or mentor?  What did you do to navigate through the confusion to the other side of your situation?

The truth is, we've all been in this situation a multitude of times, we just need to recall what we did that brought us to our solution, then repeat the process every time our life hits a bumpy road.

Too many people get lost in the problem du jour, and focus their attention on what's going wrong.  Einstein said, you will never find the solution, with the same mind that sees there's a problem.  This means we need to be open to look at things differently. 

The world is currently going through one of those murky times.  We sure could benefit from people who are willing to look at things differently and recall those times of ...

"Know Thyself" is a philosophical maxim inscribed above the entrance to the Temple of Apollo in ancient Delphi, Greece.  It's considered the most significant of the Delphic maxims and this wisdom has stood the test of time throughout history.

It seems like today, we just rush through life without much consideration to the deeper meaning of life, who we are, and how we fit into this world.

Too much importance is given to selfies of where we are, and what's on our dinner plate to send to our friends.  Too much attention is focused on how many likes our posts receive.  Too much time is wasted on what other people think, while the real value is totally over looked.  Not by others, but by YOU!

There is nobody else like you.  And you are in the process of becoming more.  Did you know that about yourself?  You're not the same person you were last year.  Where do you want to be next year?

Know Thyself.....you have more untapped potential than you realize!

Rumi is so right!

The only one we can really change is our self.  As we look inside our self and notice what's working and what's not working, we can change what needs to be changed.  Day by day, one internal change at a time, WILL change how we show up in the world.

When we show up new and improved, then we are dancing with the world differently.  The world is adjusting to this new person we're becoming. 

Little by little, by little, the world is adjusting and course correcting.  It all starts with how we show up, and the choices we make each day.

So, are you Clever...or are you Wise?

 Life is an Adventure, and unfortunately there are too many people sitting on the sidelines.  They are missing out on learning and gaining of information that propels them forward.

Maybe they tried and it didn't work out, so they gave up.  What most people don't realize until later, is they learned something though that experience.  Maybe several things that later became invaluable to their life.

The secret isn't in how many times you get knocked down, but in how many times you get up..

So what's your next adventure?  What makes you come alive and feel inspired?  What are your gifts and talents?

Be adventurous and discover the differences you're making in this world.

Thank you for being YOU!

You are Unique!

Other people's rules won't properly fit your life.  If other peoples rules were right for your life, your life would have worked by now.

Think for yourself.  Discern what's right for you.

Things may shake around you - Hold Steady.

YOU ARE AWESOME, AND THERE'S NOBODY QUITE LIKE YOU!

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, it's important to remember how volatile life can be. We shouldn't take anything for granted.

What we have today, can be gone tomorrow.

During these challenging times, lets agree to be there for one another,  If you're able to help the people affected by this storm, please know your efforts would be greatly appreciated.

If you're not in the area, you might want to donate to a trustworthy organization that is in the area.

There might even be people in your area that is suffering from a personal storm in their own live.  Again, lets agree to be there for one another.  By lending a helping hand you might not only be a shining light in someone's storm, but also a wonderful example to anyone noticing your good deeds. 

And what you're left with, is the profound feeling that you made a difference in the world.

Each person is very special. 

Each person was born for an unique reason, that only they can give to this world.

Most people don't know what their special gift is until they grow into it.  Their life long experiences are shaping and perfecting their message.

Just like a delicate plant needs to be nurtured, so do each one of us require nurturing.  Many times people are born into a family that provides that nurturing....many times people are not.  While this maybe disappointing, it doesn't have to be devastating.  If you're not being nurtured by other, then that's a clear sign you need to step up and nurture yourself.

You see, in those instances when nurturing doesn't take place, self nurturing is what you're suppose to teach the world.  You can't TEACH what you don't KNOW.  You must learn it first.

Don't cheat the world out of your Unique Gift!

All it takes for Conflicts and Wars to start,

Is for good people to do

NOTHING.

 Make sure your voice is heard.
