When are you most yourself?

What are you doing that makes you feel happy, expressed, and one with the world?

Perhaps it’s teaching, solving problems, or creating – maybe you excel by building one-hour workshops that meet three times a month, and then run them for 30 minutes with questions and answers.

You are flying high as a creative! You are in your element doing this strategic and heartfelt work.

Here’s the crucial question:

How can you maintain this state of dynamic tranquility even when challenges arise and things seem overwhelming, making it difficult to reach the things you want and love doing?

It’s a question we all have, and we can improve our approach by learning how to balance happiness with challenges.

Our core strengths and authenticity remain intact; they do not disappear during hard times. No matter what the question or trouble may be, you still have the ability and experience, the success of doing work where you are most yourself. Challenges do not make that fact and truth disappear.

For me, being my most authentic and happily expressed self happens when I’m coaching a person on their career and life. I’m focused on helping another person create the change they most desire. And when I feel pressure, worry, irritation, or anger, I work to release these troubling feelings by focusing on quick solutions, just as I would when a person I coach is stuck or frustrated.

The answers are always close by. Even in turbulent waters, there is calm. Even on cloudy days, the sun still rises.

It takes effort to learn how to rework stress and disruption, but it is not impossible.

What choices work for you to be your best self even while the world is shaking you up, rattling your door?
