The Power of a Pacer

I went for a hike the other day. My hiking partner pointed out various things along the way. "Do you see those wild flowers - they are fairly unique to this type of soil." "These berries are actually edible." What was amazing to me was how suddenly more aware I had become of my surroundings. It was not so much that I had a knowledge gap, it was that I had an awareness gap. In our lives, awareness must precede change. Awareness is probably best accomplished not by someone telling us something but facilitating our discovery of something. We have a program called CorePacer that takes this very approach. We all need individuals in our lives who can simply come along side of us and help enhance our own self-awareness.

The next time you take a walk - take along a friend and help each other explore what, perhaps, the other may not have noticed before. You may be amazed at what you uncover!
