“Unhappy is he who depends on success to be happy,” - Alex Dias Ribeiro, former Formula 1 driver. “For such a person, the end of a successful career is the end of the line. His destiny is to die of bitterness or to search for more success in other careers and to go on living from success to success until he falls dead. In this case, there will not be life after success.” quoted in article ‘Success Addicts’ Choose Being Special Over Being Happy: The pursuit of achievement distracts from the deeply ordinary activities and relationships that make life meaningful." by Arthur C. Brooks in The Atlantic, accessed on 16 September 2021, available on link below

"When we're in the habit of denying our feelings, it can be hard even to identify what we're feeling, much less face it, express it, and finally release it ... Feelings are energy. With feelings there's no way out but through. We have to be with them. It takes so much courage to be, without having to do anything about anything - to just simply be." - Edith Eger, pages 45-46, in 'The GIft: 12 Lessons to Save Your LIfe". 2020. Rider Books, Penguin Random House, UK. [3 October 2021, 0545am].

"You can't heal what you don't feel" - Edith Eger

"A feeling is just a feeling - It's not your identity" - Edith Eger

"We do not change until we are ready" - Edith Eger

"Change is about interrupting the habits and patterns that no longer serve us." - Edith Eger

"In every crises there is a transition" - Edith Eger

Live. Deeply. In the moment. Every moment. 

The intensity, and depth of living you(I) 'feel', and experience is directly related to, and augmented by #Awareness and #Personal-#Insight.

Knowing what you(I) #Need. 

A significant contribution to the #Meaning, and #Significance-#Impact we #Feel, in our(my) life(our lives) comes from the #Roles and #Responsibilities we have, are, participate in and are embedded within, Our relationships and networks, both professional and personal. 

Adding to our #Roles and #Responsibilities is one common way many of us #Feel #Progress in our #Professional-#Lives-#Careers. #Replacing these #Roles and #Responsibilities, and #Preparing for #FutureRoles, #FutureTransitions, #FuturePivots requires #Time, #Effort, and #Commitment to a similar #JourneyTowardMastery we all undertook, and continue to undertake in our #Professions. 

To use a #Financial-#Planning #Analogy - #Diversification, and #NotRelying on any #OneInvestment, #Expands our #LifeOptions.

Aim to attain the #SameLevelOfMastery in #AllYourPassions, to the same level as your #Profession - to #FeelTheSame #Emotions, #Meaning, and #AddValue in these #PassionProjects, throughout your life; as you do in your #ProfessionalLife.

What you(I) get out of coaching, as coachee(person being coached), as coach, is directly related to, correlates with, and matches what you(I) put in to the process. Wanting to be coached. To coach. Bringing something (to the table/to the process), and engaging fully. Being open. Curious. Putting effort in. 

"The coachee owns the goal. The coach the process." - Chris Balsley

"The coach should never work harder than the coachee." Terrie Lupberger

The coachee must want to be coached. Understand the value of coaching, and fully engage with the process. During, and between coaching sessions.

By (really) 'listening' (observing), being curious and open, and focused on what the coachee or client wants (or needs) to work on, making the coachee aware of, and become better observers of where and what the client 'is', is a core part of the process which is facilitated by the coach.

Schedule, allow, and provide space, and time for discovery, insight, and growth to happen. To expand awareness and insight.
