A client of mine said “I knew you’d have the answers.” I responded I don’t really have any answers, just perspective.
I had a chance to sit down with Cory Hindemit of Vale Advisory and discuss all things coaching, waking up, and what inner work looks like.

Mostly what I observe in media and out in the world is eyes closed individuals locked into their illusionary cycle of victims and villains. Endlessly debating about who’s right and who’s wrong. Never awakening to the truth there is no “wrongness.” Only truth.
Trauma is just another version of being stuck. It’s possible to complete your past by doing serious critical thinking and deconstructing. Does that bring up emotions? Sure. They must be felt fully and released. Then the dream of the past is complete and gone.
The most acute addiction you suffer from is approval from others. It’s worse than any narcotic that ever existed.
It’s worth asking yourself: what’s the nature of your relationship to the universe? Or do you even think you have one?
In my line of work the questions matter. The one question that seemingly cuts through the noise the most is: what do you want?Here’s an excerpt for the book Spiritual Warfare that nails it in regard to the questions about starting the waking up journey.

One of the few ways I can almost be certain I'll understand something is by sitting down and writing about it. Because by forcing yourself to write about it and putting it down in words, you can't avoid having your say on the subject. You might be wrong, but you have to think about it very intensely to write about it.
In the world of planning, strategy, production, if you’re somewhat intentional someday might just turn out to be today. But of course upon further examination, time is simply an illusion and there is only this moment; that is now.

The tools of language and thought are of real use to men only if they are awake—not lost in the dreamland of past and future. But in the closest touch with that point of experience where reality can alone be discovered: this moment. Here life is alive, vibrant, vivid, and present, containing depths which we have hardly begun to explore.
Definitely the most compelling vision/strategy I’ve heard for addressing the homeless situation in America, and accompanying addiction and mental illnesses. @shellenberger youtu.be/5nSBmftZ1qU
It's refreshing to see companies embracing a full range of options for mental health for their employees. This is a positive step forward.
