Evolving Involves Eliminating!
The term eliminating is often misconstrued as a bad thing but if you think about it carefully, it really is the opposite. Why would we eliminate something from our lives if it was good for us? I was determined to start coaching by doing things my way. My life purpose was to be of service to others and I felt I didn’t need to change one damn thing about myself in order to make my dreams become a reality.
P.S.A… That was a huge misconception and boy did I learn the hard way!
So, what was I willing to eliminate in order to evolve? Well, let me tell you that the elimination process basically desecrated my entire life as I knew it but it was the best friggin thing that has EVER happened to me.
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” Aristotle
The incidents that occurred during this past year forced me into taking the necessary steps needed to take which inevitably prepared me for this journey. If I didn’t go all-in on my healing journey, the last 20 months would have destroyed me, and not only would there be no Eleve Coaching Services, there would be no Angela.
If we are not prepared to step out of our comfort zones and step into our power then what is the point of living? It took me 30 years to realize this but you know what? I couldn’t have skipped any of the processes otherwise I wouldn’t be who I am today. I suppose some will play semantics by saying, “you could have been so much more by now if you just learned sooner,” but that is not a philosophy I live by. I absolutely respect the views of each individual however, we can’t live our most authentic life by conforming to someone else’s way of thinking.
As a coach, I am here to guide you as you move forward through your journey. I learned that motivating people is just a bandaid, not a cure. I can motivate you for the moment but only you can make the decision to fully awaken into the being you were created to be. Skipping necessary steps and not going all-in on that inner work will stunt your spiritual and emotional growth causing you more pain. It seems scary to even think about altering your entire life but it’s a far scarier thought to remain stagnant where you are. Imagine looking back at your life a year from now and realizing you are in the exact same place, doing the exact same thing.
The relationship that is going nowhere, the fake friendships that are draining you, the foods that are poisoning you, the substances that are killing you…why continue the vicious cycle if deep down you know it is stopping you from elevating to your highest, most powerful self?
My message for the day: stop waiting for the “right time” to prioritize your life/health. THE TIME IS NOW. Your energy is priceless and should be protected at all costs. We live but for a short while on this earth, so why not choose to focus on what matters most? I challenge you to empower yourself to rise above the stigma that your worth is based on someone else’s opinion of you, your job, your looks, your relationship, your past trauma, or how many followers you have on social media. Your value isn't based on any of that. Your value stems from within and your worth is not up for negotiation.
Remember that YOU are your greatest investment so make sure to invest wisely.
Some invaluable advice: BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE.
