“Completion is an illusion. We’re all works in progress.
The minute you stop growing, you stop living.”
Willie Nelson – from his book ‘Energy Follows Thought’
Coaching Point: In the spirit of Willie…
Watching reruns on the TV
Playing mahjong in the hall
Walk’n ‘round in fuzzy slippers
That don’t interest me at all
Thinking nothing new is easy
And will take me way too long
Stops me now from even starting
That’s the ending of that song
But I don’t have to push to grow
I’m drawn to what is next
Moving action keeps my ego
From having me feel vexed
Stepping off of ledges
Causes new things to show up
Full life is on the edges
Living much more than enough
(Perhaps I should say – with apologies to Willie.)
Where are you still growing today?
