The bare minimum

It was a beautiful Saturday morning. I felt inspired to go down by the river to have a heart session with a client. The sun was shining, the breeze felt amazingly delicious on my skin. I had just come from a workout session with my trainer; and my heart, soul and mind were feeling taken care of.
I lead my client through her session which brought up a lot of triggers for her. She was so brave working through them, and I was so proud of her for being courageous and resilient.
After her session, I suggested some "homework". It was a day later and I received a message, similar to this one:
I had this coach. Before I was with her, I was striving to be an energetic match to the relationship I desired. Trying to become the woman that attracted it. Nothing seemed to really do the trick, and I became deflated because it was one hard lesson after the other. I understand why this happens, but it sucked. She [my coach] told me to stop striving for the best, and instead find the bare minimum - and that changed something in me.
My heart BROKE. There are many coaches out there, and we are not all created equal. It became extremely clear to me, WHY my own personal healing is so important.
This is a very clear example of a coach NOT doing her own healing, and projecting her triggers and hurt onto a trusting client.
THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
Period.
I am obsessive about my healing. If I could spend all day every day journaling I would...but a girls gotta eat (lol)
In all seriousness, by doing my own work, I am writing a contract that I will NEVER displace my triggers and judgments onto a client, EVER. And I am so proud to be under the mentorship of an amazing coach who believes the same.
I asked my client how it felt to accept the bare minimum.
Like settling, big time.
You do not have to settle for ANYTHING in your life... not a job, family, relationships, environment...NOTHING. For a coach to even suggest that boggles my mind.
I believe that the Universe has amazing plans for us. Plans that are full of happiness, joy, love, laughter and yes lessons too. I believe that there is so much abundance available to everyone. And it is under these beliefs that I refuse the idea that the Universe wants us to settle. To live mediocre. To live under "just good enough".
We are meant to SOAR, to fly with our dreams, to live a life that sets our soul on fire with passion and life-gasms. We are meant to EXPERIENCE pure joy that knocks our proverbial socks off. We are meant to love hard, play hard, learn hard, choose hard - the hards that mould us into the high quality feminine and masculine versions of ourselves. To walk the path towards our soul self, and along the way find our soul tribe, and soul mate.
To suggest otherwise seems so icky...it is such a turn off to think that I was put here, to have this human experience, to settle for being "happy enough".
One day, I hope that this way of coaching is only heard of in history books. I hope that all coaches lead themselves through their healing and guide their clients with the highest of integrity. Because the "bare minimum" simply isn't an accepted currency anymore.
