Are you a Jedi Master of Human Potential? – Part 4 – There is no chaos, there is harmony.

The Jedi Code – rules governing the actions and principles of the Jedi Order:
Emotion, yet peace.
Ignorance, yet knowledge.
Passion, yet serenity.
Chaos, yet harmony.
Death, yet the Force.

These days it’s easy for us to see the world as a chaotic and disconnected place. And many of our coaching clients struggle with the uncertainty this causes. The Jedi however realizes that all things are interconnected and interdependent, in an infinite cycle of ups and downs. And so does the coach. By keeping in mind that infinite possibilities are always present, and our questions and observations hold this lens up close.

Coaching is a practice of non-judgment, of acceptance that in every life there are challenges. Like the Jedi, we can use the Force or our higher power to interpret and understand even the most painful of life’s events. And learn from them. Failure, disappointment, and disagreement are inevitable. It’s the price for being an earthling. The Jedi and the coach does not deny that terrible things happen; they merely hold that this is simply another part of life.
