Discoveries
- Self limiting beliefs suck!
- My self talk is very persuasive - if harnessed I can create anything, if it is allowed to run rampant I become frozen in fear/anger/indecision.
- Old beliefs can be challenged no matter how deeply entrenched they are in our psyches.
- I remembered that I believe in miracles!

The pursuit of perfection... or when life seems just too darn uncontrollable!
What would it be like if you didn't have to be perfect? How would your life be different if instead of constantly trying to control everything you could be vulnerable and feel whatever feelings washed over you? Scary right? Hard maybe? Liberating for sure!
I've spent a good portion of my life asking myself this question and helping others explore this question for themselves.
First of all we have to be willing to make mistakes and own them. I tell my clients that I make mistakes everyday. Oh, I just realized something… that may not instill the greatest confidence in me! Actually, more than that I hope it creates trust with those I work with and possibly the permission they need within themselves to be more authentic.
Second, we have to be willing to enter into life knowing that we may experience pain. If we can trust that we can live through sadness or disappointment or whatever difficult emotion we are trying to avoid then we can be totally present for joy or happiness or whatever delicious experience that we want more of.
Third… actually I can't think of a third thing right now. Maybe it will come to me later. I told you I'm not perfect!
Life is not a series of tasks to accomplish perfectly but opportunities to love more deeply, feel more completely and learn more passionately.
