However, I think I'm using the term "context" more broadly than Adrian - I use it to include both your environment and the mental filters that you apply to that environment. ...
They need to reshape their context first. ...
BTW, to me, your difference of opinion with Adrian is largely because you have such an expansive and empowering context (probably both external and internal) that the boundaries are hard to see. Adrian, OTOH, seems to have a context with a lot more constraining boundaries than yours.
My context is closer to Adrian's than yours but I'm in the process of trying to expand their borders. |
Keith, I believe that the constraint itself is an illusion, and you do have the power to dismantle the illusion and see that the constraint is nothing but a ghost. I also believe, because I've experienced over and over again in my coaching, that BREAKTHROUGH is possible -- you don't have to go through a linear "life lesson" of reshaping your context first, and then see unlimited possibility in your life. Rather, it's possible (and a lot of fun!) to recognize that the constraints are self-imposed, not externally imposed, to see that you can have ANYTHING you want, and then to choose from the infinite menu something that inspires you, right now.
