Go Where The Kites Go
I get asked this all the time, "Is there a point where this gets easier. This personal growth thing I mean"? Fair question. Honest question.

Here's a big challenge we face everyday. Just being here. Just focusing on what we are doing and try to get the most from it.

Change is like the elusive rainbow. We know they exist but it's all but impossible to watch one form. In a group coaching session we were talking about one component from the program, which is what I call "Current Moment Consciousness" or improving the ability to focus.
