Success and Change
Coach Adams here in St. Petersburg Russia.I'm still enjoying my visit, it's still cold, and it's still snowing!
I wanted to share with you a great conversation I had with Coach Alex last night...
I want to preface this conversation with the fact that he has been helping individuals for over 40 years become the best. He has been instrumental in creating change in the lives of so many.
So with that said...
We were discussing success and how we have experienced it and observed it in others over the years and he made a statement that I found very interesting. In fact I would go so far as to say it was quite profound in the implication of this statement...
He said that "As human beings we do not really change"
Now hold on a minute.
If you are like me then I'm sure you're sitting there thinking how is it possible that someone who has been helping people change and become the very best would make a statement as such?
Well the answer might surprise you...It was quite an insight for me...
You see Alex believes with each of us lies a duality...good and bad, strong and weak, love and hate, peace and war, happy and sad, etc. And that at any one time we are both of these contrasting entities. Yet we are driven to present only one of them to the world at a time.
And he beleives that what directs us to utlimately be one or the other is based on something that lies deep inside us all. And that it is a power greater than all of us.
This power is defined by some as God, by others it's called Spirit, Energy, Light, Power, etc...
Regardless it is something that drives us at the heart of who we are. And it is something that we choose to accept or ignore.
You see it comes down to our choice of what we want to be...we all have the potential to be good or bad...and all too often we feel like it is out of our control.
But the light at the end of the tunnel occurs once you understand that you are both of these dualities at any given time. When you come to terms with that realization then you can regain the power to choose.
What is it going to be...Which are you going to choose?
Choose to get better, for it's a daily battle!
And remember...
Success is not by chance, It's by Choice!
Coach Adams
