Your mentor/coach/guide can only take you as deep as they themselves are willing to go.

Your mentor/coach/guide can only take you as deep as they themselves are willing to go. 
.
If we want to experience true healing, we must be willing to dive deep into the shadowy wounds that are holding us hostage in pain and dysfunction.
.
Often times (not always), this requires a guide/mentor/coach to walk beside you and hold a candle whilst visiting these dark caves within ourselves. 
.
Although, many mentors are not willing to enter this cave alone. They are unwilling to explore these areas within themselves. They fear the shadow. 
.
Some want to float along the crystal clear waters basking in the warm sun where it’s safe and cozy, whilst tethered to an anchor. 
.
They won’t call you out, they won’t hold you accountable, they will most definitely not hold a mirror up to you... because they can’t do this themselves. 
.
This is fine, dandy, warm, fun, easy and cozy. You might gain a few new tools to add to your tool box and such. You might shed a tear or two along the way, but will you experience true intimate healing? 
.
Is this what you really want? 
Do you want to coast through life with zero accountability? 
.
If you want RADICAL CHANGE, 
If you want to experience BLISS,
If you want to experience PEACE, 
If you want to live in true ALIGNMENT, 
You must be willing to dive into that cave. 
.
Choose a mentor/guide/coach that triggers the f*ck out of you. 
.
Choose a guide that does not fear their own shadows. 
.
Do not be afraid to ask your coach how deep they go in their own healing, before choosing to work with them. 
If they dance around the question... there’s your answer.
