Today's topic is supposed to relate to what people thank me for, or things I love to help people with.
I love to give advice that could free.
Not un-welcomed forceful advice. Like a good brainstorm 'let's figure this thing out' advice. I like to think I'm rational and have some capability to offer insight and healthy guidance. Looking at our life's puzzles can get really blurry after you have stared at it for a long time. Getting an outside perspective could crack it wide open and help find solutions for greatness!
I love encouraging people.
So many of us walk around with burdens in our lives. It becomes normal and no matter how heavy or painful it is for us, we get used to it and work around it. We evolve our daily existence around the very things that hold us back. We accommodate the pain, we don't fight it.
Any small relief or lifting of that weight is like a huge gulp of fresh air and perhaps even a glimpse or whisper of hope can be seen. Something as small as someone recognizing a fraction of your greatness can lift you out from your head and free you for a moment to gulp the fresh air, to lean in, to scan for the glimpse of hope in the distance. To have any part in this is a privilege. The beautiful thing of it is, it is life giving to both parties.
As most of us know our emotional and physical are very tightly knit friends. Being able to encourage someone through personal goal setting or a physical transformation is something that I get really pumped over. It's not just about them feeling better in their body, though this is an amazing part of the journey. Often times this process becomes a healing process for their whole being. That is beautiful, and to have the honour to participate in the slightest is humbling.
