Our Deepest Fear

November 13, 2015 Posted by admin Uncategorized

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? 

You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. 

It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. 

As we are liberated from our own fear; our presence automatically liberates others. ~Marianne Williamson

These words touch me because they resonate with truth. I believe we are born with the knowledge that we are children of God, created in His image and gifted with talents and ability to be an example of His glory. And yet, somewhere along the way, most of us forget or lose that knowledge. Often, life is difficult and we lose sight of our truth in what we were created to be as we battle through the daily struggles. I know that was true for me. There was a time in my life, when things were so dark that I had forgotten my sense of self-worth and I considered throwing away what God gave me, even to the point of throwing away my life. I’m not proud of that moment. In fact, I spent many years trying to pretend it never happened.

But, I’ve been liberated from those thoughts and I’ve come to realize that I haven’t even come close to realizing my potential. With that knowledge comes the unbounded joy of rising each day to realize a little more of my potential and take a few steps or giant leaps to move forward ever closer to fulfilling my purpose. With that knowledge comes a passion for helping other people achieve their own goals, dreams, desires, and potential. It’s why I’m so passionate about coaching. Coaching is the tool that I’ve been given to fulfill my purpose as I help other people achieve their potential.

I know that for a long time I had to take small steps to build up the courage and confidence to quit “playing small” in my own life and start letting my light shine. That’s the reason I created a new coaching program called ASPIRE, a twelve week success coaching program. When you enroll in my ASPIRE program, we will spend an hour together on the phone for our initial goal setting session, where we walk through how to set the right goals to be successful, and how to identify the long term goals for your life and then the short term goals that will help you get there. Then, we create an action plan for the next three months that will set you up for success. We will follow up each week with a short phone accountability session to talk about the action plan, what worked, what didn’t and what adjustments we need to make.

This program is designed to help you set and achieve the goals that you have tried to reach before but haven’t been able to reach without support. As a premier coach, I will help you identify the way to reach your goal. It’s not about a one-size-fits-all solution with me – I want to help you explore the path for YOU to be successful. If, and only if, you are completely committed to changing your life should you consider this program.

I have carefully designed this program to meet the needs of someone who is ready to make a positive change. Make no mistake however, ASPIRE is not for you if you are looking for a shortcut. There are no shortcuts to success, fitness, weight loss, or realizing your dreams. ASPIRE is about carefully determining the path to a goal and consistently working toward it.

I’m only offering a limited number of slots for this program because of the time and energy commitment on my part to help my client be successful. I’m also offering this program at a special rate if you enroll before the new year and you can choose whether to get started right away or wait until January to take advantage of the New Year momentum.  I would normally price this package at $2,000. And, it’s well priced, especially when you look at similar programs out there. Most people would invest far more than that if they could take a shortcut to reaching their goal. What would it be worth for you to achieve something that you have tried unsuccessfully to do before?

There are no shortcuts – but right now I am offering a very special price for this package! Make one payment in full for just $997 (the best deal) or choose three equal monthly payments of $397 each. Of course, you can always enroll later at the full price if I have slots available. I don’t expect to fill all 20 slots immediately, because it’s November and some people don’t have the initiative to improve their life at this time of year. So, there’s no rush to enroll immediately but when you enroll before November 20, not only will you reserve your slot at the best price, I’ll also send you a special bonus series of leadership lessons. These series is six hours of audio recordings where I’m talking and teaching on leadership to help you develop personally and professionally. I’ll also include the worksheets that accompany the recordings so you have a resource to reference as needed.

It’s time to stop playing small and start realizing your potential. I’m giving you permission to let your light shine and start living the life you want. Create the life you want and don’t settle for just a life of average. You have far more potential than “average.” Shine on!
