The Ugly Duckling - Embracing Your Wholeness

As a life coach, the most important thing I do is to enable people to accept the fact of their wholeness. Perhaps the classic example of the struggle to find wholeness is depicted in the poignant fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen: "The Ugly Duckling."

In this evocative story, Andersen describes the pain and yearning of a misplaced soul searching for love and recognition. Accidentally born into a family of ducks, a newborn swan appears gangly, ugly and gross. He is shunned by family and friends and becomes an outcast who is ashamed of his differences. Finally he meets beautiful swans who not only recognize and accept him as one of their own, but  embrace him as the most beautiful swan of all.  At this point, the ugly duckling overflows with the joy of fulfillment. He has, what is known in spiritual terms, arrived home.

This simple tale actually expresses the experience of not only my clients, but is true for my own story. Many assume that  there is something missing or wrong with them. They initially expect a Life Coach to give them answers or advice. But my job is to reveal to you the fundamental fact of your wholeness. My role is to help you access your own answers, arising from your natural, beautiful, and brilliant self.

Once you see that you are the beautiful swan, transformation begins to catalyze. Why? Because your perspective shifts from the paradigm that something is missing, to the empowering realization of  your wholeness. When you taste this kind of independence  you open to the joy of life,  making changes and taking risks you could/would never have otherwise conceived possible.

Until next time,

Stay Strong and Live Boldly.

Life is very short.
