Message from Mirabel Madrigal
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: 03/07/22
Happy Monday!
I cannot stop listening to Disney’s Encanto soundtrack. I am a proud contributor to it reaching the popularity status it has! 😀
There are many awesome life messages in that movie. One of my favorite scenes comes toward the end of the movie during the song “All of You”.
It is from that song that I pulled this week’s quote. It is the line that Mirabel sings to her sister, Luisa:
Take a second to read it again - let it soak in.
My thoughts on this quote go in so many different directions – so I’m going to try and keep it simple.
First – I think that the word “gift” can be interchanged with several others words – such as “strength”, “weakness” or “role”.
With that, the biggest take-away is this:
It can be easy to be labeled or ‘known for’ one gift, strength, downfall or role you have. And with that can come specific expectations of you – whether those expectations are imposed by others or by yourself.
As a result - sometimes the rest of you can get lost. Your other strengths, roles or opportunities to stretch yourself where you need stretching can go unnoticed.
But we are all a ‘whole person’. We are complex. We are a cocktail of identities, gifts, weaknesses and untapped interests.
All of you should be honored. And all of you should be brought with you everywhere you go.
One of my favorite parts about the coaching and leadership development work I do is tapping into the whole person. So often – people think we should simply focus on the ‘work self’. But in order to transform in ANY area of life – we need to consider the whole person.
Because all of you makes up your story.
All of you matters.
So please, honor who you are.
All of you.
Do you bring all of you to the things you do? Or do you compartmentalize based on your role or what you're known for? How is or is that not working?
Wishing you a wonderful week. You've got this!
