We easily forget this but what happens below the surface is actually more important then what we see on the outside or above the water line. Being a child of NC, born and bred in from the red clay and evergreen pines of NC, the USS North Carolina is an integral part of my history. This old ship has rotted from below the water line and is currently being repaired. The outcome if not fixed…the rest of the ship sinks on top of it and it’s worthless.
Our lives are much this way, what is inside is way more important than the outside. With a society so fixed on looks, status, with our entertainment being built of those who have the right look or charisma, it’s no wonder we’ve lost focus on what’s really important.
In working with clients one of my main goals is to help them see what is driving their responses from the inside.
Two things I want you to remember…
1 – What’s below matters and just because no one sees or understands what is going on internally for you doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter.
2 – Find those who you can lean on and who understand/love you enough that you can share what’s below ‘your waterline’. Sharing those thoughts will resonate with others and you will learn more about yourself and others but the sharing.
Remember, just because it’s on the inside of you, just because it’s below the water line, doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter, in fact, it has more importance in steering your course then you know.
Peace on your Journey this week.
