How am I lighting fires?
Field of Dreams town hall scene |
What am I after in coaching?
What do I want to see as an outcome?
What am I trying to do?
What should we all be cultivating in ourselves and others
Not knowledge transfer. There’s a gluttony of information.
And quite frankly, people who are just smart are pricks.
Not action. People can be motivated to do terrible things.
Action without this is just ants marching (DMB reference)
I’m looking for the spark
That sense of aliveness
The fire that consumes and refined
That primal flame that refuses to submit
That burns away dross and leaves purified gold
That “I’m taking up space” attitude
That “I can be a gentleman” self-control
That “I can be an asshole” self-respect
That playful spirit that laughs at danger
That dangerous soul that smiles
No people pleasing
No nursing old wounds
No victims. For god’s sake no victims.
Leave your masks and insecurities at the door
Be vulnerable and courageous - Speak your goddamn mind!
Let go of people who wont understand you
Be brave
Be bold
Be offensive- for god’d sake be willing to piss someone off!
And have fun doing it
That’s the spark that will light the fire that will change the world
That’s the fire that heals
That can be sober in a world drunk with consumerism
That can be intoxicated on the fullness of being
That can undo the destruction of government control
That can set people free to live, laugh, and love
I want to see, allow, encourage, and grow those sparks
And be lit up in the presence of the fireworks
For the healing of our planet
For the resurrection of the human spirit
For the delight of my amazing kids
For the love of my life
For the thrill of adventure
For fame and glory
Looks something like this

Lord of the Rings Return of the King “For Frodo”
Like the exhilaration of a good fight
Like letting your friends know you’re behind them
Like taking a chance
Like being defiant in the face of defeat
Like leading the charge against gates of hell, smiling
Because so many of us have lost that loving feeling (Top Gun reference!!)
Top Gun - You’ve lost that loving feeling
