Allowing for Quiet Success

A poignant thing just happened  - my son Hudson took his first steps. It happened quietly and softly [while I was distracted watching the Olympic games] but the implications are huge!

It's a massive milestone not only for him, but for us and what it means in terms parenting a child that will now want to walk everywhere! It made me reflect on how this massive achievement came quietly and almost imperceptibly. I've watched it building up for months with pulling himself up, insisting we walk him around to-and-fro holding his hands and (in the last couple of days) intentionally holding only one of our hands.

This massive success came from many small achievements that were rehearsed and practised. It was a process that took the last few months. And then without thinking "I am going to take my first steps now" - this little human just did it. He allowed it to happen. This incredible feat came gracefully and without pomp and ceremony.

What this teaches me is that we can achieve really big things in life if we focus NOT on the achievement itself, but by breaking it down into it's components and rehearsing THOSE things. If we simply trust the process and ALLOW success to come naturally - we may surprise ourselves by achieving big things quietly and with grace.

"More than just titles, being a clinical educator and life coach is Dr. Lalani’s passion. I know for certain that his unique qualifications; experience and communication skills will change the lives of many" Dr KP
"There is a huge amount of anxiety around our licensing exams. The coaching I received helped me to get into the correct mindset in the days before the exam. It really helped me to shift my focus  to ensuring that I was eating, sleeping, and thinking in a way that would allow me to perform my best." Dr BT
"I owe one of my jobs to Nadim. Just prior to the job interview I was feeling overwhelmed and lacking confidence. I called Nadim and he coached me for the interview. As we talked, his coaching really helped me put into perspective my skills, experience and vision. Having Nadim help me with the big picture put me at ease and I felt calm and confident going into that interview" Dr MW
