What's Your Favourite Animal?

My favourite animal has always been the Black Panther

It's always stood out to me as such a powerful way to just 'be'

To learn what I need to learn,

To observe with out being noticed,

To be patient with opportunities,

To be able to do what I need to do,

To get done what I need to get done,

...and to fail and try again, and to fail and try again, and to succeed, all hidden in plain sight... just like a Black Panther

Admit it, you've probably never seen an actual black panther grab it's food, even in documentaries it's rare to have that captured on film, but you know by the way it moves of what it's capable of... because just for it to be alive, as it only eats meat, nothing else, it has to be good at what it does... and it learnt from it's parents, siblings and it's own experience as to what works and what doesn't ...

It doesn't need raving fans around it to confirm it's previous history, it's mere presence is enough to say what it's able to do

Underneath the fur there would undoubtedly be scars of the hardest of it's battles it's gone through to gain it's progression in life, for food, and for fighting of mating privileges and territories... and it's walk and body language will communicate this too ...

I do at times wonder if they have more or less scars than I out of curiosity, and then dismiss it because my life is my life and their life is their life, and there fore no need to compare at all, just admire the strength I see in them, ... and then allow myself to see the strength in myself too, to be where I am today, building our life forwards into some amazing things...

... to allow myself to see the strength in myself required a lot of practise, for once upon a time not 'that' long ago I wouldn't even look in the mirror, let alone a camera... but I am beginning to see it more and more, and allowing myself a bit more appreciation for the scars and the stories they tell...

I do feel stronger than I have felt before

I do feel calmer, more confident, less attached to outcomes, and more peaceful, and therefore getting better progress in the world around me...

A Black Panther is always giving itself it's best self, to create it's healthiest life, for the right to have a healthy partner, to encourage the health of their partner, and for it's cubs, and I do the same, just in different ways

There is no 'one way' to be born and grow towards the end of our life experience, that's the whole point to all our life experiences, to have a 'different' experience to everything else's.

Growth is always ongoing

Energy is always being exchanged in different ways

I'd imagine that a mother Panther would teach it's cubs and partner ways of catching food, and teaching survival and abundance tips that would save them from making the 'exact same' scars to live a great and healthy life of their own for the day they are strong enough to choose their own way, and will not get in the way of letting them make mistakes if they are determined to make them... because technically there is no such thing as a mistake, everything is a choice, and there is something to learn from every choice

Likewise, I can add my experiences to your life experience, to save you the scars that mine cost, and I can simplify all the things I've learnt for you to get the best results out of other professionals that you'll have to network with, and show you all the resources you have available, and how to make more, ... and funnily enough if you're determined to make mistakes, I won't stand in the way of you making them, but I'll make sure you learn every single bit from the actions taken, so that you don't have to repeat the same lesson...

In my younger years if I had made different choices I may now have less scars myself, but I was determined to make those choices and they are mine to own, and to teach from ...

...one last way in which I love the life comparison of the Black Panther is that I live my life with no regrets, just scars of lessons, and the best life experience that I can create for myself, my wife and children and others I share my life experience with along the way ...

I don't 'need' much, just the ability to choose a life experience worth sharing from, not to just 'exist'

I choose to improve my health,

I choose to improve my relationships,

I choose to improve my wealth,

...and I choose to have particular life experiences along the way that include building property development projects, creating robotics and other prototype projects, creating businesses that may or may not work and learning from them, and I choose to coach others that want more from their life experience than they thought they could have previously ... and how to have their health and social circles to support those choices... and I choose to do this in a very different way to most coaches recommendations and so therefore I choose the slower way of building that traction forwards.... but it still works beautifully, as I build a great client base foundation powerfully hiding in plain sight like the Black Panther usually walks through the jungle of abundance ...

So perhaps the question I should have asked people from the beginning of 'choosing to coach' is...
