The Shadow Coach
The Shadow Coach If we hide so much away from the rest of the world that we have to have a huge amount of energy to keep it hidden, all our focus turns to fears of being found out rather than the joys of being discovered through our talents. - Donna Karlin
The Shadow Coach “There are some that only employ words for the purpose of disguising their thoughts”. - Voltaire
The Shadow Coach "We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves". - Francois de La Rochefoucauld
The Shadow Coach I love this. It's more than getting out of your comfort zone. It's the perception of where 'safety' lives even though it doesn't.

There are people who I will never encounter in a restaurant. That's because when these people go out for dinner, they go to chain restaurants. These are the tourists in New York who seek out the familiar Olive Garden instead...
The Shadow Coach "To confront a person with his shadow is to show him his own light. Once one has experienced a few times what it is like to stand judgingly between the opposites, one begins to understand what is meant by the self. Anyone who perceives his shadow and his light simultaneously sees himself from two sides and thus gets in the middle." - Jung
The Shadow Coach "The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice there is little we can do to change until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds." - R.D. Laing. Are we so good at hiding our Shadow that we no longer pay attention to it?
The Shadow Coach "A human being is only breath and shadow." - Sophocles. Every time I read this quote, new perspectives come to mind.
The Shadow Coach "Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see." - Martin Luther King Jr.
The Shadow Coach Some of our greatest learning experiences come from our shadow sides when we interact with those closest to us...especially family. What comes up from the past that just won't go away even if ...especially if it's no longer valid or who you are?
The Shadow Coach I love Anthony LaPaglia's comment when he said "Acting is the cheapest form of therapy. You have to go into parts of your psyche you're not comfortable with." How often do we look at parts of ourselves that we struggle with then park and try to hide away?
The Shadow Coach "Don't forget that I cannot see myself -- that my role is limited to being the one who looks in the mirror." - Jacques Rigaut
The Shadow Coach "People who linger in the shadow, leading unfulfilled lives, would burst into the sunlight of Possibilities and Power. (were they to make the effort to examine "who they are", and 'what they're really about')." - Laurie Beth Jones
The Shadow Coach "As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being." - Carl Jung
The Shadow Coach "Because everything we say and do is the length and shadow of our own souls, our influence is determined by the quality of our being." - Dale Turner
