One of the
concepts that has had the biggest impact on me through my personal development
journey and was presented to us in our first session of coach training and also
came up again at a recent workshop is the idea of living above the line. When
you are living above the line you become the cause of your life however if you
choose to live below the line you are choosing to live your life as a victim.
Ownership
Accountability Champion
Responsibility
Excuses Victim
Denial
When I first saw this idea it occurred to me that ‘yes I have been choosing to live as a victim’ and I decided then that I didn’t want to continue doing that. It isn’t as simple as just deciding and going out and living above the line forever after, when we or in this instance I, have been programmed for years to blame others, make excuses and live in denial. Procrastination, which the workshop was about is the perfect opportunity to excel at making excuses and continues to provide me with challenges every day. This blog is evidence in itself, for me anyway, that I am making an effort to live above the line and I encourage you to ask the question ‘Where do I most often live?’
