MY PARTICULAR MAGNIFICENCE
I live a varied and magnificent life. I truly do. Success, grounded, realistic.
And not a day goes by when I don't hark back to my years of homelessness and living on the streets and in doss-houses, unable to plan beyond the immediate base level necessities of food, shelter and little else. And as you can read, my attempts to fulfill those basic needs was almost non-existent, given that my immediate solutions were nothing short of heartbreaking and disastrous.
My shelter was a doorway.
My food was often from a soup kItchen down by Central Station in Sydney, called Our Lady of Snows.
I had few clothes.
What is most interesting about this now sacred and even heroic and gorgeous phase of my life,(yes...gorgeous,) was that the environments I was in felt comfortable and familiar and even comforting. Over time, I adjusted to this way of life as a norm, and as a cushy reality. I knew the other homeless people near me, and I also lived as a sub-cultural outlier - a true exile; a societal scapegoat. And all these became fused within the perameters of my identity and my way of being.
So switch to today - to the fog outside that lingers through the trees, to the birdsong, to a nice Range Rover, to gorgeous work coaching elite clients and to living and being the here on Arapito Farm. There is the chill morning with down duvet, the large loungeroom that overlooks the rhodo trees. There's the kitchen in reno mode, new bathroom and toilet, gardens mapped out with stays and pegs for future phases of change.
There's Zooms with clients. There's writing. There's drawing, precious drawing...and time outside. We work hard but work is what we love so it's not work - it's fun. It's flow. I mix client sessions with feeding animals and supporting Brett's Miniature Belted Galloway Society of NZ; there's more time with writing and creating and with the other tasks in a fairly seamless mode of living.
I often don the gumboots too, and get out into the paddocks. I weed, I cut down, I hedge trim, I plant. I behave boisterously at times, I might sweat and swear, and I do so because I know a little bit about the complexities of the self, and I like to explore these areas in my own makeup on a regular basis. I enjoy my complexity and simplicity.
YOUR PARTICULAR MAGNIFICENCE
If we are to live vital, full lives, lives drenched in both gratitude and love, this is a wonderful thing to do. To explore self....
As an elite coach, I encourage clients to move beyond the usual parameters that may be constraining them. These can be both conscious and unconscious.
Tapping into these and freeing ourselves from them can often require witnessing.
And curiosity. And enquiry.
The rare jewel that is the diamond self can be mined. And it will be covered in dust, and it will be embedded in the subterranean strata, or in the surface topsoil - the earth and dirt, and it will glint and it will catch the light and refract a prismatic dance of lights like a shifting and fragmented rainbow.
Mining for self is a wondrous pursuit. It's a part of my elite coaching with you. It is a foundational component of chang and changemaking. And it contains a poetic and inherent paradox that is both mysterious and rare, and heartfelt.
Can you hear the birds singing?
