Leadership Coaching: The Power Of Letting Go
Expand Your Awareness
We all face conflict and confusion almost all the time, in
varying degrees. But there are conflicts and confusion that are life- changing.
According to Deepak Chopra, the key to resolving these perplexities in life is
to expand our awareness. However, we can't expect the level of the problem to
be the same level of the solution, according to him. Obstacles can be
transformed into opportunities if we rise the level of solution in our own
awareness.
A lot of people are stuck, filled with numbness and depressed.
One has to move out of this stuckness and to wake up and take responsibility
for their life. We have to step out of our patterns and be open to new
perceptions. Change happens when we take on a fresh perspective. Chopra has so
wisely said that we can only change what we are first able to see. You have to
be willing to be aware of what you want to change.
Are You Really Seeing The Picture?
But this is tough for most of us because many of us are
oblivious or in denial. We don't always want to see the real picture. Deepak
pointed out that we wear our tinted glasses when seeing what we perceive as
"true". The most dangerous enemy is the one we are blind to.
Perception matters, and life ought to be seen as a sequence of
irregular weather. We have two choices to deal with it- struggle with it or
carry the right gear. Anything can happen. Life, to be truly lived has to be
lived awake, and its challenges viewed as creative opportunities. But it is not
always easy. Change and transformation, as a process, is hardly ever entirely
comfortable.
Feel And Emerge
Life's struggles arise when we tend to go unconscious. We
therefore have to endeavor to bring ourselves back to a place of self-
awareness. Sometimes, struggles can be a gift, rising to make us more aware of
our life's purpose, Chopra points out. Nothing is random when life brings
challenges. The question is, how are you going to meet these challenges? You
can blame or numb out, or you can will to be conscious. To feel and emerge.
See life as something that constantly recycles itself and
evolves at the same time. If we are brave enough to let go, our true selves
becomes clearer in its path to evolve and transform. "Life is like a river
flowing between the two banks of pain and suffering", Chopra says. We
don't have to struggle or grab on to the banks of pain and suffering, but we
can choose to float and consciously let go and be happy in the moment. You can
then expand, transform and evolve, finding yourself in a place without struggle
and your desires within your heart's reach.
