Who are you now?
'It is never too late to be what you might have been.'
George Eliot
Look at you
Over the next six weeks, I want you to take a good look at yourself.
My plan is to push you to be the best-possible version of yourself,
not someone different, just you at your shiny, refined, polished,
perfected best.
It gets better! You can even decide to take on new qualities, characteristics
and an enhanced, spruced-up demeanour of your choice. Over the years
I've coached people to move from dithering to decisive, jaded to
dynamic, victim to victorious.

Life can take it out of you. It's easy to get coated with layers
of resignation, cynicism, and self-doubt. It all adds up to a dampening
of your spirit, vibrancy and optimism, a shutting down of what's
possible for you. I want to slough off those layers, so you see
yourself anew. But before we even think about that, we need to make
room to throw off what may be stale or no longer useful.
Look within
Truly successful reinvention comes from digging deep into yourself
and pulling out old beliefs and attitudes that restrict you and
prevent you fulfilling your potential.
Take a look at yourself. What do you see? Are you entirely happy
with what you've become? It would be very easy to answer questions
like these if we were talking about your body. You could tell me
instantly whether you had 'let yourself go', or had neglected yourself.
But we're looking at the person you've become and are turning into.
That's more unusual. It's a vital conversation to have. You could
slip into being someone you wouldn't find attractive or interesting
without even noticing!
Who are you?
Think about the question, 'who am I?' Be clear. This is not a fixed
state of affairs. We need some answers to get clear on our work
ahead. In the next few weeks we're going to experiment and try on
some new traits, attitudes and airs.
Thought for the week
Everyday, in every way, I get better and better.
