What’s Missing?

November 29th, 2010 by Kathleen

We ask ‘What’s missing?’ in numerous contexts in our day to day conversations.  We consider the question in reference to solutions to problems, in evaluating what we have and don’t have, and in making decisions to proceed or not in any variety of circumstances.  However, it is rare for us to stop to determine what exactly we think that ‘missing’ element would provide.  When we get underneath this question the answer can be both intriguing and extremely useful.  This asking requires us to dig below the service to recognize what it is we are really after.  It shows us the degree of impact of that thing or condition that is ‘missing’.

Applied to our unique contribution and our living brand this idea is critical – it is the difference maker.  Why? – because what we experience as ‘missing’ is access to that QuintessentialYou quality or characteristic that is of significant importance.  We know it internally and once we recognize it, we are compelled to express it externally.  Allowing exploration and articulation of what our ‘missing’ would provide holds a clue to discovering an aspect of the Blueprint that is the essence of who we are and the contribution that is ours to make.  So…. the answer to the question: If we had it, what would our ‘missing’ provide? ….Now, that is useful!

What Will It Take?

“Whenever we do something that fills us with enthusiasm, we are following our legend.  However, we don’t all have the courage to confront our own dream.”..Paul Coelho, The Alchemist

What will it take to raise this courage in the world – to deepen this yearning and confront that we are designed for our dream beyond what we can reason?  What will it take for us to gain such intimacy with ourselves that we come to know that dream and collaborate with the Blueprint that is the source of our most compelling expression?  What will it take to stretch this promise of fulfillment beyond ourselves to others and the world?  What will it take to be fully responsible for having our world show up fresh and new?

What movement would have to catch on to have us express the living brand that is unique and natural to each one of us?  What will have us realize that this IS the genuine,  most important, and greatest contribution we can make?  What will it take for us to give this most fundamental contribution – the living brand that is QuintessentialYou?  Will you join this intimate group and its quiet movement?
