The Kettle
As a young child, one of my favourite things was my mama’s red kettle.
She would fill it with water, place it on the stove, and then I would sit and wait patiently for it to reach its boiling point. It would start to bubble a bit, and then hiss a bit as steam started to escape from the spout. Then as the water started to bubble furiously inside the kettle, a magical thing would happen. The kettle started to whistle.
I remember creating an image in my mind, of the angry water, trying to find a way to escape. Finally, when it was angry enough, it would magically find the smallest little hole to escape through. But the water was too big to fit through the hole, so it had to magically change itself into steam, so it could squeeze through the little hole. And once it had started to escape from the kettle, it would share its joy by whistling a tune, for all to hear.
Just like that little red kettle, when we find ourselves in hot water, we struggle and struggle to figure a way out. We can feel the pressure building. We KNOW we need to find that little hole. We know if we can see a little light, that will be the way forward. We KNOW it will help to release the pressure we feel inside. If we could just let the steam out, we could then convert the steam into energy.
My CLARITY 1:1 session is just like the little red kettle…
It will help you to release the steam, and turn that steam into energy, helping you to think clearly and calmly, so you can gain CLARITY on your situation, and find a way froward.
