What am I Curious about?
One of the fun aspects of doing a personalized learning journey, like the one I’m going into with regard to personal coaching, is the ability to give myself assignments.
Now, I’m sure many of you reading are saying, “What!? GIVE yourself an assignment? Isn’t life busy enough, and won’t that weigh you down?”
Well my dear readers, assignments you give yourself can be fun, so long as you give yourself fun assignments, and let your interests and “what’s emerging” in you be your guide – not someone else’s “story” or needs.
One of the principles that Julia Stewart talks about in her Free Coaching Class in one of the Coaching Groundwork classes is Curiosity. So I thought I would share with you what I call a “visual report” about “What am I Curious About?”. The photos included are all my own, and hopefully they give you a peek into some of my creative process and inquiry.
So, what are YOU curious about?
“When the boulders of institutions begin to surround you – envelop you – yet no longer serve you – find a “river between” to guide you. Water from this river finds its path easily between and around these boulders. It erodes the rock walls, eventually transforming them as well. Life is nurtured in the waters of the river, as it continues its journey, eventually joining other rivers, and emptying into larger waters.”
My husband and I loved this quote so much that we hung it up on our wall and read it frequently. You have truly sounded some archetypal chord with this one.
More on river imagery:
“The river gives without imposing. It doesn’t jump out of its route to water a tree. The trees choose to grow close to the water. The river is just there. Be there…a stream of love.” – A Quote from Naomi Aldort
