Even if you are not an extraordinary coach, which I assert that you are. Everyone that you met, saw, influenced or were influenced by, thinks that you are better than they. Even the people that you admire think that you are better than they. Even the people that you don't know, like the president of the United States or the First Lady, even Tom Brady of the New England Patriots; Were they to meet you in person, at the very deepest level of their core, they would think that you are better than they. You are an extraordinary coach, for sure. Most of the people in your circle of influence, the people you influence, all the people you're influenced by, most of them think that you are better then they. Whether or not you are better than they is not of concern for this blog, Whether or not you are better than they is not some place you can waste your time if you hope to do any thing fruitful with your life. The point of selling you on the fact that most people that you meet think that you are better than they is to get you present to the fact that most people you meet, you think they are better than you.
Sometimes you find yourself going through all sorts of motions, and gyrations, and actions, and behavior trying to get them to think that you are at least as good as they are. The time that you spend trying to prove to someone that you are valuable to them is time wasted. It's time that you could be using to actually make yourself better. You want to make yourself better, primarily because you're not going to be happy if you're the same as you are tomorrow. You have to get better whether you try to do it or not. It is simply something that you want to get present to. Don't waste your time trying to make sure that someone you admire thinks that you are good enough. They already think that you are good enough. As an extraordinary coach, we want to make sure that you do that for your clients. Have your clients realize that they are as good as they need to be. Have them realize that you are no better than they and they're no better than you.
The only person that they have to compete with is the person that they were yesterday because being better today than you were yesterday is each of our unspoken goals, except for people like me who make it their spoken goals. People that know me well have heard me ad nauseum say things such as, "I am better than I was, and not as good as I am going to be." The reason I say that is another story, but I want you to get present to the fact that you think that most people are better than you. Admit it. Of course, most people think that you are better than they. The whole world is spending a lot of time and effort into thinking that that's not so. They do this by trying to make sure that you think the best of them. You do it by trying to make sure that they think the best of you.
Be an extraordinary coach. Make your clients present to that reality. If you don't make them present to anything else, then you, yourself be present to that reality. When you consider all the things that we do, trying to make sure that the people in our lives think that we are good enough, it's a complete and total waste of time. I end this blog like I prefer ending all of my blogs, that is for you to spend a little time having a good time until next time. As always, if this blog has blessed you, given you any insight, given you any great ideas, I ask you to continue following my blog and share it with your friends and family.
