On March 18–21 I was in Köln (Cologne, Germany) for a weekend-long meeting of German-speaking practitioners of Three Principles, which flowed and extended into a Live Your Legend meetup on the Monday evening.
Here are several key thoughts, key ideas which I take home with me from these days, these groups, this energy…
Since a few weeks, I have been having coaching conversations with people to develop and sharpen my coaching skills, as well as to find whether is a specific audience or specific type of questions I am resonating with the most and/or I am able to make a biggest difference…
Throughout these conversations I am beginning to notice common ideas that I bring to the table, common forms of articulation of my understanding, and I would like to describe some of them here, probably extending them with some words I haven’t been yet saying to the people in the sessions.
My fourth entry to the Blogging Challenge is devoted to this prompt: “What’s one thing you’re proud of?”
Honestly, most of all I am proud of the Life I am currently building for myself… but I would leave it for a later writing… like half a year or even later than that.
Instead I will tell you about my efforts with Live Your Legend LOCAL. Maybe the current results after a year are still quite far from an actual success story and could even look more like a failure from the outside… But I am very proud of myself for stepping up to do it, glad to have the experiences and the learning that I accumulated over my first year at it…
What people thank me for… Ironically, at first this one has been even more hurting and painful than anger… I thought of writing a whole passage devoted on the topic of “how I have been feeling invisible”. But that’s not the point of the prompt, and my mood has changed over the last 24 hours, finally leaving that bitterness and anger behind and switching back to excitement and happiness.
However, I still had to think hard for some time to find what to write here.
Today’s writing prompt: “What really makes you angry about the world?”
Dale Carnegie used to say that anyone could become a great public speaker if they were angry enough. And when it comes to helping people and living your legend, starting with your biggest frustrations can open up a lot of ideas as to the difference you want to make. Think of what consistently makes you mad about the world and what you wish was different.
It is about that time of the year (again) when Scott Dinsmore of Live Your Legend is running the Start-a-Blog Challenge and I attempt to hop on this train to give a boost to my blogging life. Because I know that the prompts, the accountability and the community support might be just what I need to get through to the regular writing habit. Plus, this time around I actually want a WDS ticket as well ;)
