Greatness Tip!

 

I seem to be quoting Marianne Williamson a lot lately. It keeps coming up for my clients this week.  Check out this quote by her - it is the perfect greatness tip for this week.

 

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.  Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.  It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.  We ask ourselves, 'who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?'  Actually, who are you not to be?

 

YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD. Your playing small does not serve the world.  There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.  We were born to manifest the glory that is within us.  And as we let our light shine we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

 

What does living bigger look like for you?  This week, I am calling you forth to join me in living towards greatness.  Just show up.

Personal Reflection: What Have I Learned?

 

I have shared this story with a couple of my clients recently and it seems timely to share it more widely with all of you, based on the quote I've chosen for this week's Greatness Tip.

 

I have started to play tennis again after a couple of years of inaction in this area.  As a teenager and in my twenties, I played a lot and play, well, quite well!  I have developed a huge passion for the game and get excited at any opportunity I get to play.  What's interesting for me is that, although I have a good physical game - good strokes, power and (more or less) good placement of the ball, my mental game makes or breaks the results of my matches.  I notice that when I am winning, I allow myself to lose a bit so that the winning gap is lessened.  I notice that when my opponent is a weaker player, I hit more softly to them.  Basically, I notice that I "shrink so that others won't feel insecure around me…"(see quote in Greatness Tip section!).  Who am I not to live larger?  What have I learned?  I have learned that "shrinking" does not serve me well and I feel like I've cheated myself so now, I choose to play big, on court and off court. So watch out!  I'm going to show up whether you like it or not!
