What is Your Life Telling
You?
Helaine Iris
The other day I was coaching Emily, a bright and self aware
woman who's recently stepped up to a very big plate - she
wants to take her business to the next level. Her decision
holds the potential for many rich and fulfilling rewards, but
also contains a rather steep learning curve, an increase in
pressure and of course much higher stakes. Interestingly
enough, as she meets her days with passion and excitement, she
also notices an increase in how easily she gets triggered and
upset by seemingly mundane events that throw her off and make
her constantly question her ability to succeed.
Emily is a consultant who works in the education system,
but she's also single and very much wants to be in a long term
relationship. When immersed in her work with others, all she
seems to notice is how happy and successfully married her
coworkers are. Then she feels jealous, and begins to question
her life, as if she's "missed the boat".
When she was describing her experience to me and musing
about how painfully distracting it was, she asked me, "What do
you think the universe is trying to tell me?"
I then proceeded to take a very deep breath and respond. I
said, " the universe...well, not exactly. I think it's you
life." Then I told her while it might make it easier to blame
her confused feelings on a booming message from the universe -
I told her I thought it was her life speaking to her.
I firmly believe every day, your life does speak to you,
sometimes in quiet ways, and sometimes like a 2 X 4 on the
head. In Emily's case, I think some older part of her wants
permission to abandon her audacious dream of an international
career and focus instead on finding the relationship that her
childhood, and culture taught her would be her ultimate
fulfillment. Poised on the brink of success - understandably
Emily is scared.
Learning to listen to your life offers you the gift of
valuable feedback from a very reliable source: YOU! The art
form of life is to discern what the information means and what
to do with it. The opportunity for Emily is to examine her
fears, her old beliefs and what's getting in her way - not to
get caught up believing one choice over the other, marriage
over career, or career over marriage is the answer.
Ultimately, Emily has to find her own answers about what
her life is telling her - as do we all. I believe being
courageous enough to ask the question creates the foundation
we need in our lives to be successful on all levels. So, what
is your life telling you?
It's YOUR life...imagine the possibilities!

Suggested
Reading
Loving Frank by Nancy Horan. Who knew? I found this
fictionalized account of the true to life story of Mamah
Borthwick Cheney, the feminist, intellectual woman who was
Frank Lloyd Wright's muse and lover extraordinary. I was spell
bound by the weaving of this woman's courage and independence
despite the restrictions of the times she lived in. Sensuous,
and vivid in it's aesthetic journey over decades and over
continents these inspirational people led vibrant yet tragic
lives.
