Message from Genie
WELCOME TO THIS MAGIC MONDAY MOMENT
Kicking off your week with some thoughts around a favorite Disney quote (because in my world - Disney is life!).
original message date: 12/05/22
Happy Monday!
As I’ve gotten older, gain more experience and work with more unique and amazing people – my belief around the magic of self-awareness and how it allows you to leverage authenticity gets deeper.
With that lens, I really like this quote by Genie from the live action version of “Aladdin”.
I also appreciate that ‘pretending’ to be someone else is quite normal. We grow up with expectations and beliefs of others being put onto us. We experience societal norms and adopt them as our own because we think we should. We get jobs where employers provide us with a list of expectations and preferred behaviors so we can “fit in” and perform to their satisfaction.
And when we live up to it all – we might get accolades, awards and promotions.
Nothing is wrong with any of that…. unless the space between who you think you should be and who you really are gets too wide.
Because there comes a point when pretending loses its excitement. It starts to create mental fatigue. It becomes more difficult to show up as your best.
And the question must be asked….is it worth it?
There’s no right or wrong – but only you can answer that question.
If you’d like some help – set up a free consult with me and we can talk about how coaching might be exactly what you need.
As you reflect – answer this question: What might you gain by creating the life you really want from a place of authenticity?
Wishing you a wonderful week. You've got this!
