The broken coachPosted by Trudy Inman in Untagged |
Now why would I start my very first blog about being broken? Wouldn’t it be smarter to come out the gate as the resident expert, the one who has it all figured out, as….perfect? Or maybe try very hard to convince you that I am perfect? At least a perfect coach? Sounds good in theory, but you and I both know, I am not perfect, and neither is anyone else. Hence, the need for coaches, and consultants and therapists. Together we can all achieve more and two minds are better than one, right?! You get the idea. So, I start this very first blog with a confession, I admit it, I am not perfect, I am flawed and I have chinks in my armor. Chinks that come from a lifetime of….living.
I’ve been a bit of a gypsy, lived more places than most, had more relationships (marriages) than most and more jobs than most. I tend to subscribe to the idea that the grass IS always greener and I have this deep need to find out for myself. So what have I actually learned from all of this? I’ve learned that happiness comes from the inside. That sometimes, oftentimes your own grass is green enough or even greener than you realized and that no truer words have ever been spoken than “wherever you go, there you are”. Seriously, I’ve traveled thousands of miles, had great adventures, and seen all kinds of wonderful things just to find myself chasing the next green pasture.
