Yesterday I took a fall from grace. I found myself facing disappointment and frustration and chose to allow it to take me to a dark place. I am human and even after years of studying, practicing, and teaching how to choose the positive and create my reality, I stumbled. I tell you this because I do not want to be on the pedestal that I used to hold many of my teachers and friends. The principles and practices I teach are just that, practices. They require a choice to be made, a conscious effort. But the beauty in this fall is the reminder that I will bounce. The tools I have and the choices I make allow me the ability to pick myself up even when I do fall. They allow me to process what happened and see ways to make my practice stronger. And most of all it allows me the chance for forgiveness. It offers me the chance to embrace my perfectly i'mperfect self and move forward. And that is what I am doing today. I'm finding gratitude in this forgiveness.
I'm grateful for all those who showed love and support yesterday. I'm grateful for my husband who challenged me to pause and re-direct my thinking. I'm grateful for this very human lesson and for my ability to bounce back from it. I'm grateful to find forgiveness for myself. I'm grateful to allow that grieving process and now to begin to rebuild what seemed lost. I'm grateful to know that this human quality makes me a stronger coach and a stronger person. And I'm grateful to know that I will create beauty out of this experience.
