Here is what I have noticed over the last 25 years of coaching and guiding others.
After you read it tell me if it RESONATES with you — thank you!
Today what could you start doing to surround yourself intentionally with people who share the core values you aspire towards?
If one of the fastest ways to evolve is create a support group of people who are all moving in a congruent direction then what could you do today?
Have you ever considered running as fast and as far as you can from the people and situations who want you to compromise or lower your frequency?
Only you know – is that a possible starting point for you?
Is it possible that the price for greatness is often seclusion – because in seclusion, you connect with the deepest part of your soul and this is where you determine what you stand for. I have noticed when I'm clear where I stand then and only then can I go out into the world and find the people (or person) to stand with.
I love what David Whyte says in his poem Sweet Darkness…
….."if anything or anyone does not bring you alive, they are too small for you!"
Sweet Darkness
When your eyes are tired the world is tired also.
When your vision has gone no part of the world can find you.
Time to go into the dark where the night has eyes to recognize its own.
There you can be sure you are not beyond love.
The dark will be your womb tonight.
The night will give you a horizon further than you can see.
You must learn one thing: the world was made to be free in.
Give up all the other worlds except the one to which you belong.
Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn
Anything or anyone that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.
~ David Whyte

Thanks for sharing this incredible poem! Surrounding yourself with people who go big, think big and push you towards greatness do bring you alive.
