Your world, the world, is but a model in your mind
Nothing more and nothing less
To play with the world, play with your mind
And become exactly who and what you want to be
Creative, fun, confident, assured, successful, why not?
Our character is determined by the model we hold in our mind about who we are: how we react to the world, how we behave, even how we think. We are not aware of holding and using this model, it's just how we are. But the model is there, and to change how we are, we must change the model.
Our parents' and society's conditioning sets up the basic model, our life's experiences mould it, and it's not easy to change it at will. It's nature's way of capturing and securing values and learning. In this sophisticated world, though, the stability of that model might not be appropriate, we have so much scope now to become what we want, to do what we want.
Coaching is about changing that model, and, with it, you, your character, how you are in the world, your world. That's not the whole story, of course, but much of the basis is in that model. Whether you want to different because it would be more interesting, or different because now isn't good, if the model is approached lightly, changing it can be fun, and the rewards can be huge.
It still takes time and commitment, though, but if you are prepared for the journey, you can change.
