Bringing fire into our lives

When I m coaching and starting out on a journey with someone, I always get them to look first at what they love to do and what brings them joy. It should be the bedrock of our lives, our roots that ground us and allow us to dance in the wind and be flexible yet resilient.

The world knows when there is a fire within us or not. The world knows when our eyes are tired and when we are lacking a fizz, when the fire has gone out. 

Our soul is always a burning fire, however, over time it gets smothered by our minds, thoughts, and fears. We allow ourselves to become them instead of allowing our true essence to shine.

In order to relight the fire and show our true selves to the world and spread our light, we have to go back to our hearts and start to do the things that bring us joy.

I get them to take a large piece of paper and write down all the things that they love and bring them joy. This is where we get our why power from. When the fire is going out we struggle on by using our willpower, which the mind believes is all we need to be strong and tough. However, the batteries in the willpower run out and they run out very quickly when we are not connected with our hearts and our why power.

Why we do what we do is the hardest thing to answer if we are not connected to what we love and if we are not doing what we love, the fire will not be there and the world will see it,

The world is a reflection of us as we continually create what we put out, we manifest our reality. If there is a fire in our eyes and our soul is shining bright, we will attract what we give out. If there is no passion in our hearts and the fire is hidden then we will struggle to attract what we want.

Life is a short journey, let us live it from our hearts and give our fire and light to the world.

What has jargonisation done?

The corporatisation, sterilisation, jargonisation and homogeneity of words used in both speech and written communication…stop…just read that again and look at the words what do they say to you? There is no emotion or humanity in those words.

We use words like actionable, leverage, diversity, disconnected, the long tail, skillage, siloed, uplevel, work-force reduction, right-sizing and the list of these cold and sterile words could fill a book.

We have removed love, kindness, understanding, compassion and humanness from how we now communicate. We are afraid of plain, warm and understandable speaking.

We use words that remove feeling, they are bland, overcomplicated and devoid of a human touch that allows the recipient to feel seen and to feel any warmth towards another soul.

We have removed love from our lives and replaced it with coldness.
