What your heart knows
Sometimes more than we do
I was leading a coaching group for entrepreneurs, and one of the participants was struggling with uncertainty. There were so many unknowns in her business. She listed them with a precision that told me she’d repeated them to herself many times.
At one point, I paused her. “Let’s set aside these uncertainties for a moment,” I said. “What do you know in your heart to be true?”
Her entire demeanor shifted as I asked that question. Her shoulders dropped. Her breathing slowed. Even through the computer screen, I could sense her groundedness.
I won’t share how she answered (confidentiality and all that). It doesn’t matter.
What matters is that your heart also knows what’s true. Perhaps you’d like to ask it?
This, and variations on it, make such a good journal or meditation prompt when repeated to go deeper ... what do you know in your heart to be true (answer) and beyond that what do you know in your heart to be true (answer) and deeper than that what do you know in your heart to be true ...
Such a good question Robin! I know that I’ve always found a way forward, made the most of opportunities (or created them) and I can keep doing that, even when progress is slower than I’d like - I’ll get there in the end and learn along the way.
