Self Reliance by Ralph Waldo Emerson has been re-released by Seth Godin's Domino Project: Do You Zoom.
This version includes quotes relative to points made by Emerson as well as his original text. Here are a few excerpts:
Emerson:
"It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion;
it is easy in solitude to live after our own;
but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with sweetness the independence of solitude."
"Do your work and I shall know you.
Do your work and you shall reinforce yourself."
and a contribution in the same chapter by Pamela Slim:
"We look for ourselves in many places -
meditation retreats, personality assessments, Twitter rankings.
But the best place to find the reason why we were put on earth is in a private moment immersed in our craft. In that sacred instant, we see without a reasonable doubt that we were made to create and contribute."
I coach to empower - we all deserve to be exactly who they are, do exactly what was meant for us, feel alive and make a difference on our journey. Coaches are guides for others to uncover their truth. It's a calling I've known for a long time.
Thanks for pausing here today. I hope you'll consider leaving a comment or send me an email:
