Monday Morning Coaching Morsel

Hi Everyone,
Each Monday morning, I send out a short inspirational message to start the week. My coaching clients, friends and a few others subscribe. I decided to post it here each week as well. Enjoy!

People never seem to stop amazing me. Sometimes it's a positive amazement ... like, how cool they are, how giving and generous and talented they are. But other times, it's how "uncool" and unhelpful they are. I have little to no patience for people that are merely self-serving, not -evolving. I think we all deserve to have a great life ... and the pollyanna in me thinks we might all want to be helpful to each other in the fulfillment of our desires. I suppose that, honestly, I have to evaluate myself here and take the inventory on how helpful and giving I am. I believe in the words of Gandhi:
"We must be the change we want to see in the world." Am I? How about you?
So, what do you see in this for yourself? Are you aware of when you are NOT being who you want the world to be? Are you also aware of the times when you are? When you find yourself being uncool or unhelpful, do you then go back and express that to the person who might have been a recipient of your behavior? Do you apologize? How do you feel in either case. It's all about self-awareness. In another quote by Gandhi: “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others."
Happy searching inside!

Coaching morsels are sent out every Monday... Just to inspire you a bit.
