We do an exercise in TeachingHorse called the "cloverleaf". The premise is, as you walk away from center and turn back towards it time after time, you essentially draw a cloverleaf pattern with your steps. The purpose is to discover how you return to your path when you have lost sight of your next steps. In this way, we learn to place our attention, and to CHOOSE (not KNOW) the way, thus gaining clarity once more.
In working with the CPP team on this activity yesterday, I asked them to practice by coaching me through it. I was asked - what is my center? What does it represent to me? I pondered this, and determined it was purpose. As I build my own businesses, my purpose is help others align with the best version of themselves and achieve their goals.
I realized that as I walk this path of entrepreneurship I need to pause each time, consciously returning to center and resting at purpose to reconnect before moving to my next "leaf" full of emails, marketing, meetings, planning, building events, fixing fences, caring for the herd, and so on.
What is your center, and how is it influencing your environment and those around you?
