Coaching for Growth
April 23, 2010
Your WHO is who you think you are. You learned that definition from many places – family, parents, friends, teachers, colleagues at work, bosses, employees, even strangers. Your “Real WHO” is your unlimited potential. The WHO you think you are is limited by your self-doubts, fears, beliefs, etc. Your WHO is your level of consciousness.Because of WHO you are, you will think, feel, and do certain things. These are all forms of WHAT you do. If you’re a helper, you may become a nurse. If you believe you are creative, then perhaps you’ll be a writer or musician. If you believe you are limited, then you’ll take a job that limits you. Based on who you think you are, this is what you think you should do.
HOW you do something also stems from your WHO. WHO you are determines WHAT you do, and HOW you do it. WHAT and HOW are basically unconscious.
For example, if you see yourself and your world as a competitive place, or a place with limited resources, your WHAT will be to win, and your HOW will be to manipulate, deceive, or beat down others. That’s HOW you would operate, based on WHO you believe you are in the world you perceive.
If you believe yourself to be one way, and you put that out there, you will reinforce your limited WHO. You’ll experience exactly what you expect to experience.
The key to breaking the cycle is to re-evaluate your WHO whenever you can. Once you learn from the past and question WHO you are, the cycle can be broken and then… there’s a new WHO – a you of higher consciousness – and that means a new WHAT, and a new HOW, and a new evaluation, and the cycle of conscious growth continues.
Coaching helps you evaluate and learn!
