Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Bhaktivedanta Coaching Newsletter Coach devotees who care about getting better. There are plenty of them. Don't waste time with those who don't care. Devotees should be proud of trying to get better with the help of coaching, not ashamed of it. It sends a big message to other devotees when the top leaders are trying to improve. The best thing you can do to help other devotees get better is let them watch you try to get better. The challenge in personal improvement is not making sure that devotees understand the practice of Krsna consciousness; it is making sure that they practice their understanding of Krsna consciousness. One assumption is that they don't understand the practice. The reality is they've all read the same books, but they don't practice their understanding. The challenge is doing - not understanding. A good coach will tell you: "If your effort to change doesn't come from your heart, you will just be acting like a phony. I have no desire to help someone be a better phony - and play silly games. Take the high road. It's not my life, it's yours." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
