I get all lit up when I find the next level of growth available to me. I admit it… I’m addicted to new personal insight and I’m refusing treatment. Because when I identify that next growth edge…first it excites me, then it terrifies me. Or maybe it terrifies me first…and then it excites me? Honestly, it all runs together in an intricate dance of big feelings.
Most of the world sees external challenges and they bristle. They resist it. They don’t want any part of it. They back down and politely decline the invitation into something bigger. They’re uninterested or unwilling to take challenge head-on. While there’s nothing “wrong” with that, I do believe that people who willingly accept, and even seek out the next challenge, experience more growth and accomplishment, and have a whole lot more fun.
Me and my clients? We’ve learned that every time we choose to move directly towards the challenge, we transform in ways beyond our current imagination. We sharpen our internal tool—our mind— in order to combat the external challenge. Because it’s not the “challenge” that we ever have to deal with…but our perception of that challenge. When you change the way you think, you choose to create a new way of being in the world and everything around you changes as a result. I watch clients transform before my eyes every week because they also choose the “WTF” move…Walking Towards Fear. Interested in learning more?
