How understanding I'm NOT a FAILURE Changed...
EVERYTHING.
I used to believe deep down that I was somehow a failure.
I was a practicing GP who never quite felt 'good enough' as a doctor, and also a mum of two young boys, who never felt I was 'being enough' as their mother.
I tried to 'fix' these feelings by doing more. Trying harder. Being more. But, the harder I tried, the worse I felt about myself. All I saw were my flaws and faults. All my efforts left me more exhausted, more despondent and more depressed. I believed that I was failing miserably at this thing called life.
I used to pray for greater wisdom and energy. I prayed for a greater capacity to be more, to accomplish more.
Nothing changed.
.... Until I discovered the world of life coaching! Partnering with my coach, he helped me to see that I needed a
different approach.
This was not an outside job that needed more trying or doing.
This was an inside job that needed insight and understanding.
What I needed was a new perspective about myself.
If I could choose to see myself as something other than a failure,
who would I choose to see instead?
