Community-Driven: The Seventh of the Seven Cs of Spiritual Coaching

Nothing we do occurs in a vacuum. Yet all too often we can lose sight of the world around us, as we work hard to realize our own goals and dreams. It's true that in order to make a difference in the world we need to be able to make a living, but sometimes making that difference gets put off time and again, as we strive to ensure our own security and success.

The amazing thing is that if we accept that no one is an island, than we have to accept that we are always already involved, in deep and interconnected ways, with the world around us. By making that involvement intentional and deliberate, we open ourselves up to the world, and enable an exchange of powerful energy and support.

We also step more fully into our own power and purpose and global citizens. By taking responsibility and accountability for the communities we call home, we effectively become part of a global team working to make this world a better place, for ourselves, for all the species that call this planet home, and for many generations to come.

Practice Tip, Part One: This week, give yourself permission to carve out some personal time to refresh and revitalize yourself. Find a place that soothes your soul, and allow yourself the time and space for a personal retreat, whether that be for a few hours, or for a few days.

Once you've done that, take a moment to design a way that you can incorporate a similar form of personal retreat into your daily, weekly or monthly schedule. Taking good care of yourself ensures you will have all the energy you need to contribute in powerful ways to the many communities you call home!

Practice Tip, Part Two: Take a moment to reflect on an issue you're passionate about, or a need you see in one of the communities you call home. Find out if there's already an organization doing great work on that issue, and if there is, call them up and find a way to get involved!

If you can't find anyone doing something to address the needs you see in your community, then it's up to you - call together some kindred spirits, and make it happen!

Calling All Coaches

Wind To Thy Wings

In each issue I will highlight a resource I think you'll find powerful and uplifting. If you have a suggestion for a book, movie, album or other resource that you have found significant in your journey, and would like to share with others, I would love to hear from you – email your suggestions to adam@dailydivine.com!

Today's resource comes from an amazing story I heard on CBC Radio (Canada's national public broadcaster) about Tribe Wanted, a community that is both a virtual online community, as well as a real island community in Fiji, designed and built in partnership with a local indigenous tribe, and with environmental sustainability as a bedrock belief of the community. To read more about this fascinating project, and perhaps even to join the tribe, visit www.tribewanted.com.
