(Principles are basic truths that, when applied, cause success to come to you easier and quicker.)


Of. A simple word often overlooked. Yet, with a powerful contribution.

When you are Of you are with something, part of it, combined, in-sync, blended. But more than that. Those are physical time-and-space connections, head stuff. Of also includes the ephemeral. Such as inklings, beliefs, intuitions, heart, knowings, and gut feelings.

At its core, then, the essence of Of is that you are indistinguishable from that which you are Of. There is no separate-from. You ARE that. It is difficult to understand in words but easy and obvious to experience and know.

Learning and growing provide many opportunities for Of-ness (is that a real word?). You may or may not take advantage of all of them. When you do, something gets ‘better’ for you. Of-ness seems good and right. Desirable.

You know when an Of hits, and that experience is likely unique to you. I’m not sure there are many universal Ofs. Each is personal and tends to be private.

Benefits include feeling more connected to life, less loneliness, and reduced anger. You’ll judge less, see more possibilities, and experience more joy, peace, and freedom.


Coaching Point: In light of this, where do you experience being Of?
