A Day in the Life Coach

Man’s Search for Meaning

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms -to chose one’s own attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”

Victor Frankl

 

Man’s Search for Meaning is a powerful read,

Regardless of your position, race, religion, or creed!

 

Victor Frankl survived the Holocaust with such humanity –

And his ability to avoid despair really spoke to me!

 

In the midst of profound suffering, he was able to find a way

To focus on sharing and helping others to get through each day.

 

Although he was a prisoner and had no freedom to leave,

The Nazis could not stifle his will to achieve.

 

I can’t even imagine what it was like to be there –

But, he didn’t seem to dwell on life not being fair.

 

Instead he found a vital reason to BE –

He would devote his life to helping others less fortunate than he.

 

That’s how he managed to get through those years,

Doing his best, however limited – not being frozen by fears.

 

He couldn’t alter Hitler’s course – of course this is true –

But, he sure rocked the world of those he knew!

But, is that a belief we should continue to feed?

 

How low do we need to go before we get to decide –

That we are the ones in charge of this ride?

 

Instead, I challenge every one of us to start right now –

Choose to find positive meaning daily – and just start focusing on HOW!

Shame on Me

 

I think I remember the first time I felt shame inside –

When something happened that made me want to run and hide.

 

I was in a Grade 5 gym class – my first attempt to climb rope,

When the teacher mockingly told me I didn’t have a hope.

 

If instead he would have helped me to build some confidence and strength –

I know I would have gone to any length…

 

Instead he made me feel terrible about myself,

And I shoved any interest in being an athlete to the back of the shelf!

 

And, even though I excelled at everything else at school,

This “failure” made me believe that I couldn’t be “cool.”

 

Sadly, we often take for granted whatever we can do well –

It’s the areas where we fear we’re “less than” that we tend to dwell!

 

At school I had a good friend who wasn’t academically great,

And the teachers made her feel like she just didn’t rate.

 

But she was so pretty, and nice, and as popular as could be –

That she had the best life ever, seemed so clear to me!

 

Years later she told me that she had wished for my life

Because her school days were filled with constant shame and strife!

But our shame was the result of some very different stuff.

 

We know a lot now about how a childhood scar

Often continues to have a strong impact on who we are.

 

Brené Brown explains how “shame gremlins” can have a lifelong effect,

On who we become, and how well we connect.

 

But, though it’s true they play a part in how we learn to relate,

Our old patterns do not have to be in control of sealing our fate!

 

She talks about “whole-hearted living,” and I’ve come to believe

That this is a way of life I really want to achieve.

 

I have the intention, and I’m finding my way,

And I am so grateful for what I’m learning every day!

 

We can all transform our lives once we decide

To take responsibility for being in charge of this ride!

 

It’s called being “at cause” in NLP –

Not at the effect of others – continually!

 

And, really, when all is said and done –

Being the driver of your own bus is way more fun!
