When I was in about 5th or 6th grade, on a family trip to Puerto Rico, we went to one of the beaches at the resort we stayed in. Looking back on it now, it never occurred to us that although it was a really big resort, very few people were out on the beach and even fewer were in the water. We went along our merry way and played in the sand, and got in the water. Me, Mom, Dad, and my two younger sisters (one about 10 yrs old and the other about 3). Shortly after getting in, I started getting pulled by the undercurrent. Every time I tried standing up, I got pulled in deeper, and further out to sea. Mom panicked, Dad got my sisters out of the water to safety, and I swam my heart out, still trying to stand up to catch a breath. Then Dad came back and said "swim with the waves" or something like that. We always would play in the waves coming in and let them push us to shore. In order to do that, we had to float and take our feet off of the ground. And so I let go. I swam with the waves, came back in to shore, safely with my Mom, Dad, and sisters. We were all shaken and nervous. And we were grateful. We had a wonderful time the rest of the trip, growing as a family and connecting with our relatives.
The attached video reminds me of that story (http://vimeo.com/27933991). I realize that I need to let go, and swim with the waves in my life. My automatic is what is actually hurting me right now, trying to keep me safe by standing up to catch a breath, when the air is actually abundant when I float and swim with the flow of the water. In going with the waves, my health and wellness are enhanced, my relationships thrive, and my career impacts others in a powerful way.
I bet we all have a story like this, our lives are set up for us to take gold from every experience we have. I thank my coach for helping me see the gold in this experience so that I will fulfill on my declaration for the luscious delicious life as leader, love, coach, mentor coach, wife, mother, friend, sister, and every other role I have created and empowered so that I can be my most authentic self and make this life great, and share that with the lives of everyone I meet.
