Inspiration is finite

For years we have been made to believe to look up to people, to have idols, to have people we genuinely would trade lives for.

But slowly or even suddenly, these inspiring people can let us down or even stop inspiring us.

You do what you want, but based on what I see with coachees.

It is often the fuel for their digital attachment and overall comparison. We believe that seeing who, what and how they spend their time will give us an insight into their life. When all this is, are a few minutes a day of someone.

I have seen the same in the coaching industry. The more a coach shares, the more we feel affinity to them, the more we may want to work with them. Again your choices, however, since when is a coach an inspiration? We are trained to be non-judgmental and giving no advice, yet the social media train is making us believe that we must be missing what someone else does have.

I’d invite you to rethink this, because it is futile.

If you want lasting learnings, you need to learn and not be told. You need to be doing and not just be shown. You need to fail and learn to stand back up without having someone there full-time to hand you their hand.
