Sometimes We Have To Do The Hard Miles

to come into greater integrity with who we are capable of being

Sometimes we have to do the hard miles.

Because we can no longer bury our head in denial.  That time is over.

Because we can no longer make non-excellent choices.  That time is over.

Because we can no longer make decisions that worked for us 5 years ago, 10 years ago…. That time is over.

Sometimes we have to do the hard miles

and take responsibility, even though we may be scared, feel out of our league, and don’t know where the journey will take us.

Sometimes we have to do the hard miles

and be OK with being vulnerable

and be OK with being honest

and be OK with feeling unsettled and uncomfortable.

Sometimes we have to do the hard miles

and face into ourselves

and enter those caves we fear

and keep rolling up our sleeves

even though we’d prefer not to.

Sometimes we have to do the hard miles

because we know we have no other choice not to anymore.

Because that time is over

and the next generation of you is here.

You cannot enter the next generation of you

by locating yourself in the version of you that was 5 years ago, 10 years ago.

You have to have more freedom

and sometimes that means having to do the hard miles
to come into greater integrity with who you are capable of being.

Doing the hard miles to come into greater integrity with who you are capable of being.

That’s why.

Who are you capable of being?

It is a far greater version than the idea you have of yourself.

That I know in my bones.

Because love always has bigger plans for you than the ones you’ve made for yourself.

And of course we can only see them in hindsight

in that ah ha moment of ‘that’s why all of that had to happen’

when the Bigger Picture presents itself on a golden platter of brilliance.

A brilliance that you, in your former identity of 5 years ago, of 10 years ago had you stayed there was not the home for who you are capable of being

and

for who you have become

because you did the hard miles.

I'm on a mission to make the forgotten competency of 'personal responsibility' the most fundamental state of being in leadership.

That's what had me leave my Human Resources Directorship role over 20 years ago and become a coach.

Because back then I did the hard miles and I took personal responsibility for an identity that was only causing me great harm. The freedom that resulted was so breathtaking that I had no choice but to bring this others.

And I still do the hard miles when it's time to come into greater integrity with who I am capable of being.

Everything changes by stepping out of the blame, judgment, politics and drama paradigm and instead take 100% personal responsibility.

There is nothing that cannot be transformed by this paradigm of unconditional self-responsibility.

I'm on a mission to have this 'competency' come out of hiding.

This 👇🏽 would not have been possible had I not done the hard miles over 20 years ago. It was a very different picture
