Assumptions are Fear, one way or another.

Assumptions are devoid of the present moment.

A life-truth.

Try and imagine a moment-in-life full of assumptions about a person, place or an event. 

Now observe how consumed you were in that thought while you experienced that moment?

Were you really 'Present' to experience the purity of the moment?

Was that assumption but a projection of your fear, your anxiety, your doubts.

What would you do differently next time?

A cue lies in CURIOSITY. 

Might not be easy at first to be curious.  But you can practice curiosity.

CUE : 'What am I eager to know about this person, place or event that I don't already know?!' 

At a higher level you can even cue yourself to look for fun : 'What do I not know that might be fun to know and experience?' 

Sense the release you feel at the thought. Notice how light-hearted you are on your way to the awaited moment!

Try It.

I Will (To Me & my Coachee)

In the place between I wish and I will

I'll meet you.

And ask you how and what

is it that you really wish for.

I will listen to you with my heart and being
and arouse your spirit to meet mine.
The authentic minutes will fuel your sharing 
and power our intention.

In comfort, in concert, in a co-partnership 
of seeking and questioning the whats 
and exploring the promise of the must 
and embracing the energy of the will.

Because I Will is the only truth 
we can be certain of; 
the only truth that we can indubitably cheer on. 
Because I Will is 

the only future that is in our power to control.

We will harness the I Will.
