I've been meditating and reflecting on the ideas Bob Proctor so brilliantly lays out in this video for years, and there's not much more I can add so I figured I'd show it to you and let it speak for itself.
I love playing with these ideas and experiencing the truth of them for myself. Once you get this, life explodes with possibility - both personally, professionally. Enjoy!
Striving for passionate imbalance?
"Marketing is not about selling; it's about serving".
I love it when I feel something resonate as truth.
One of my primary goals is to align all aspects of my life -- both personal and professional -- in a way that feels powerful. So I often wondered how I could be so passionate about life coaching AND equally passionate about marketing & consulting (since marketing often gets a bad rap). But that quote made it all clear.
The reality is that I approach marketing consulting as a way of serving just like I approach coaching ...partnering with people to solve problems; clarify a vision; address needs; accomplish meaningful objectives. There are an infinite number of ways to be of passionate service to others -- coaching and marketing are just my favorite two.
I've also given up on the idea that the ultimate goal in my life is to be "in balance" -- to find some never-changing mythical way of life that represents the perfect combination of daily activities to maintain some Zen-like state of being. As I approach my 43rd birthday, I instead try to imbalance my life toward moments that make me feel strong! And I identify and build into my life as many of those empowering moments as possible.
Who knew living a life of "passionate imbalance" was such a beautiful thing! Life is a trip...
