Why mass, light, and heat?
Life.
If we want growth versus stagnation or decline, we need a central value and priority that enlivens us! For many, it's money. But how does money fair against the following descriptions of a life-generating center?
We need our center to enable us to see what's really going on in the things that matter most - what is happening with our souls, the souls of those we love most, and the connections between us.
We also need our center to energize us to believe and love our families through thick and thin - to be motivated to work through and overcome the most significant challenges to growing intimacy, generativity, and integrity.
If our center does not do those things, it is likely running on codes of scarcity:
- "There's not enough." (time, money, resources, opportunities, etc)
- "More is always better." (especially money)
- "That's just the way it is." (scarcity is the universal, eternal, presiding truth)
Lynne Twist goes into detail in her book, The Soul of Money.
In contrast to scarcity, she also identifies and explains the life generating code of sufficiency:
"Sufficiency is an act of generating, distinguishing, making known to ourselves, the power and presence of our existing resources, and our inner resources. Sufficiency is a context we bring forth from within that reminds us that if we look around us and within ourselves, we will find what we need. There is always enough."
Question is does our center encourage us to live out this belief?
If it does, we are freed to grow towards the maturity of wholeness, where we can experience life abundant, regardless of how much money we have or don't have.
It really boils down to what we subconsciously, instinctively believe about ourselves - we are not enough / we are enough.
What kind of center is driving your soul? Your family? Your organization? If it's scarcity, health and growth are likely lacking. If it's sufficiency, I'll bet there's blessing and thriving!
A coaching partnership creates structure and commitment to give time and attention to discovering and developing your desired center to achieve more of what matters most to you. Book some time and let's chat!

Over this past year Cecil has been a great source of encouragement and clarity in helping me break down how to pursue my goals. I’ve never been more aware of the inner workings within myself and they so often directly correlate to the outworking of my goals. From areas of pursuing professional growth, straightening relationship, or achieving balance and rest, Cecil has been consistent in helping me realize the obstacles and the simple steps necessary to overcome them. I highly recommend Cecil in his coaching as I know he will be a great source of encouragement in helping anyone reach higher goals and success.
