What is self-coaching to me?
What will I do over the next 6 months?
Endings
Everything ends badly; otherwise it wouldn’t end.
~Cocktail
The end of a melody is not its goal.
But, nonetheless, had the melody
not reached its end it would not
have reached its goal either.
~Human, All Too Human
Transitions

Transitions
Change is situational. Transition is psychological.
Transitions start with letting go of what no longer
fits the life stage you are in.
~William Bridges
Transitions
To become something else, you have to stop
being what you are now… Even though it
sounds backwards, endings always come first.
~William Bridges
A transition,

not just a change
A transition
What are you letting go of?
What is ending for you?

Everyday life poses demands & I am not saying
that we should ignore those we do not like.
I am saying don’t sweat the small stuff & most
of it is small stuff.

Exhortation will not suffice to change anyone.
What is needed is a concrete strategy of
behavior change.

Habits

Habits
Could the young but realize how soon they will
become mere walking bundles of habits, they
would give more heed to their conduct while in
the plastic state.

Gratitude
A little while & you will be nobody & nowhere,
nor will anything which you now behold exist,
nor anyone who is now alive.
