I'm sitting in the Newark Airport on my way to Sweden for Transformational Presence Coach Training. I'm so excited about this trip and this work. I feel very blessed to be a vehicle for this work in the world. And if you are reading this, that means that you are a part of this community and therefore you are somehow working for transformation in the world, too. There are so many gifts that come from doing this work. Yes, there are challenges, too, to be sure. But the gifts so outweigh the challenges, it seems to me.
I've been thinking a lot about choice lately, and the places in my life where I need to make different choices. When the stress gets high from deadlines that must be met and things that must be taken care of, it is so easy to get caught up in the "mission of the moment." Yet every time I do that, I end up being frustrated. Yes, I get things done, but when that is my only focus--to get things checked off my list--then I'm not serving myself or anyone else. However, when I remember why I am doing these things, or what these things are in service of in a bigger picture, my relationship to even the most mundane tasks shifts.
Choice. Life is full of things that must be done, and I can choose to let those things be a part of my bigger life or to consider them as distractions. I choose to let all of my life--every single bit--be a part of a bigger picture--a life lived in service of transformation and creating a world that works.
