“Support” – How It Can Save Your Life
Tuesday, August 30th, 2011There’s a way in which t
hings can move along on their own in life and you can be swept along with them. Sometimes you’re coasting that river, other times it may feel like you’re clinging to a rock in that river, or you feel you’re drowning.
While it’s true that some situations can take unexpected turns, you can have more flow in your life where you wisely direct your course where you’d like it to go and create smooth interactions in the process. Being able to do this depends a great deal on your informed and intuitive choices.
When you’re not sure about these choices, wouldn’t getting positive and knowledgeable support to help you with them be beneficial?
Imagine It A true supporter can listen to your dream and picture it with you. They can help you tease out the details of your idea through a question and feedback process, assisting you to have a more complete and realistic picture of what you want. If you’re not clear on your values and goals related to this dream, they can help you to find what you love about it and use that passion. Often a true supporter helps you to see when your head is leading the action and realign with your heart to keep your vision alive.
Take Initiative You may be a great idea person, but not know well how to develop your idea or convert it to a plan of action. An experienced supporter helps you take initiative on whatever part of your process you need to get going on. Just when you’re thinking of taking a break, they’ll help you feel re-energized and empowered to confidently move ahead and take the next step – unless a break is warranted.
Missing Unexpected Opportunities One thing you look to someone else for, and particularly a hired professional who has a particular eye on your progress, is to help you not miss out on opportunities. While you are focused on what’s in front of you and taking care of business, your support person is looking at you and your situation from different angles and may catch just the right piece of information, a contact person, or other valuable resource to send your way. They can help you recognize these leads and build on them.
