“Do or do not, there is no try.”
Sometimes a character from a movie just utters a great line that makes you stop and think…
"There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path."
Who are you? What do you stand for? More importantly, how do you show what you stand for to the world? I had to answer those questions while in Philly last week for my certification in the Book Yourself Solid Coaching Program. One of the basic premises of the Book Yourself Solid System is to know who you are, what you do and why you do it.
So, why is this important to know about yourself?
"It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities."
Standing for something takes action. Agreeing with something and standing for it is not the same thing. "Standing for" requires a choice and action, sometimes a difficult choice. Yet knowing who you are, what you do and why you stand for it makes all other choices easier (but not always easy to live by….)
"Bruce, deep down you may still be that same great kid you used to be. But it’s not who you are underneath… it’s what you do that defines you."
It can take time to sort out our beliefs, needs and desires to get to know what we stand for–but once you do put into action what you stand for, your goals align. Reflect out into the world what you know is true. Be the beacon for others. Commit fully to the adventure of life. Coach others how to share their brilliance with the world.
Enjoy the adventure
To Success! To Life!
