As Bruce Lee once said, “Be water, my friend”…

A few weeks ago, I shared how you can be more inspiring and influential as a coach — especially with your clients so they can see you as a powerful leader who they want to learn from and model.

Today, I want to share three things with you that’ll give you three different perspectives to explore and … an invitation to take a deeper look at what’s really operating behind the scenes in your life.?

These three things can totally affect your day to day, how you coach, and the influence and impact you have with your clients.

These three things are — rock, taffy, and water.

Let me explain.?

If you want to change your life in any of these ways…?

Get rich…

Have an amazing coaching business…

Lose weight…

Get healthy…

Find love…?

Improve your sex life…

Connect with spirit…

Deepen your connection to God…

Or, make any other change you want…

You need to learn to loosen up.?

Don’t be like rock or taffy.?

Be like water.?

The World of Rock

Some people believe the world is hard and set in stone. They live in a world that’s like rock:

“People don’t change.”?

“Things don’t change.”?

“This is the way things are.”?

“This is reality.”?

“This is just the way it is.”?

“This is the way it’s always been.”?

“This is the way it’s always going to be.”?

Life is “fixed” and “stuck.”?

I’m sure you’ve heard (or used) these phrases.?

I know Charlie Brown sure did.

This is the world of rock.?

You may know some people like that, people who are rock-solid in their beliefs that success is impossible for them, or that it might be possible only for those who cheat or cheat the system.?

But if you want to be influential and make a difference in the world, don’t live in the world of rock. You won’t get very far, if anywhere at all.?

Lots of people live in this world of rock. It’s not a fun world to live in. In reality, we all live in the world of rock some of the time. The goal is to spend as little time there as possible.?

The World of Taffy

A step up from the world of rock is the world of taffy. Things move slowly here, but at least they move. Taffy is definitely softer and stretchier than rock, but it’s also sticky and hard to get out of.

Things can change in the world of taffy. People can change. Life can change. The world can change, but it’s hard. It’s slow. It takes a lot of work.?

You can get what you want. It’s possible, but it can take a really long time, and it also might not happen. Success is possible, but getting there can be a long, difficult and slow journey.?

This is the world of taffy. It’s a lot of push and pull but also a lot of going nowhere. Imagine being on a stationary bike. You’re riding and pedaling but you’re not going anywhere.

The World of Water

Then there’s the world of water.?

In this world, people can change. People will change. In fact, everyone is going to change. They may not change the way you want them to, but everyone will change. Some more than others, some faster than others, but everyone changes. Everything changes, and you can get everything you want. Everything is possible.?

If water runs into a rock, does water say, “Oh, darn, I guess I have to give up. It’s over. There’s a rock in the way”??

No.?

Water will either whoosh right around the rock, erode it, or find another path, but water goes where it needs to.?

Water can move fast. It can be a raging rapid, or it can be a still, calm pond.?

Water is intuitive. Water is flexible. Water will change its shape to fit the container.?

When you live in the world of water, life is much more fluid and flexible. People naturally want to help you out. They’re willing to change their minds about things. The world is flexible, and you can get what you want, sometimes a lot faster than you can imagine.?

In this world of water, success is highly likely, maybe even inevitable. Life is filled with miracles and can change in an instant.?

Tune in and be ready.

And like Bruce Lee said … “Be water, my friend”.

Listen to Bruce Lee. Talk about having an impact.

My intention in today’s message is to offer you these three different perspectives and to notice where each of us tend to hang out. We may not realize how much each one of these worlds affect us.?

I invite you to start stepping in, sloshing around and enjoying playing in water (especially if you find yourself hanging out mostly in the worlds of rock and taffy) … and see what shifts!

With all the love in my heart,

Christian
