AIR
This past year has been challenging for many. With full awareness of those challenges, I can‘t help but be curious about what is trying to happen. It is my sense that we (and I do mean the collective “we”) are attempting to allow the superficial to fall away so what is left behind is resonant and clear and more solid and real, like good steel that has been tempered by fire.
I believe that all of the intensity and drama unfolding in our world today is asking us to look inside ourselves to that essence place of spirit and wholeness. As coaches, our deepest role is to connect people, individually and collectively, to that part of themselves that we might call soul or essence or spirit. It is the flame that lives inside every human being which longs to create, connect, and to contribute.
I believe that together we are working to recover to wholeness. To return to a state of integration and integrity with ourselves, each other, and the world around us.
Authenticity brings us into integrity and wholeness within ourselves. Intimacy brings us into integrity and wholeness with each other. Response-ability brings us into integrity and wholeness with the world around us.
Everywhere I go, I sense a hunger, a longing for these three things and for the wholeness and resonance that they bring. It is my experience that this longing unites us across any cultural, racial or socio-economic divide. While our expression of these three things may look very different and unique from one person or culture to the next, the EXPERIENCE of them is unifying and life giving.
Authenticity. Intimacy. Response-Ability. AIR. We all long to breathe clean life-giving AIR.
We all have perfectly good lungs. Yet some people go years without taking a good, long, life-giving breath. Sometimes the circumstances of our lives are so overwhelming that it feels like we are suffocating; that we can‘t breathe. In certain environments, it feels as if people are walking around with a pillow head over their faces and suffocating, starving for one long breath of life giving AIR.
Sometimes our AIR gets toxic and then there‘s work to do. Perhaps that‘s the work of coaching: creating a structure for generating clean, fresh AIR and helping people remember to BREATHE.
