Persistence – The Competitive Advantage
As a professional coach and organizing consultant, I deliver solutions for my clients that help solve their most complicated needs.
I am often asked, what is my secret when it comes to helping my clients achieve their goals.
The answer is always the same – persistence.
Some may view persistence as a logical consequence of one’s inner competitive spirit or inability to give up. Yet, if we take a look at persistence from an emotional state that causes us to act, we can learn a lot.
Persistence – The Competitive Advantage
You see, people assume that we are creatures of logic, but we are not. We are creatures of emotion. When a client is in search of a solution, I must first recognize their initial desire is being fueled off of emotion. Logic is the secondary desire.
As with any solution process there are peaks and valleys. That’s part of the journey. But what most people find frustrating are the feelings they experience along the way. Feelings associated with wanting to give up.
There are times when terrific progress is made and then things may come to a screeching halt. A crisis may occur, roadblocks may pop-up, or you may simply feel discouraged.
As your coach and consultant, this is when my competitive advantage taps in to remind you of what you set out to do and why you set out to do it. To remind you of your initial desire so you can feel the emotion once again.

Simplicity Beckons Me…
Simplicity Beckons Patricia Diesel
Simplicity Beckons Me…
Why does one seek to create more yet want less?
What motivates us to acquire things only to release them?
Why do we work so hard but have such little time to play?
What makes us initially keep something only to let it go?
In answer to these questions, we may wonder…
Is it the perception we have on life?
Is it our belief system that we were told?
Do we get to a point where we then shift our value system?
Do circumstances force us to change?
Please know this…
Simplicity is a state of “being.
It is a process that beckons one’s soul.
It becomes an undeniable quest to pursue.
Question for you…
Does simplicity beckon your soul?
With Love,
Patricia Diesel
The Beauty of Life
“If I could make a wish for you, it would be that you would “see” all the possibility there is for you. All the beauty that life has to offer.”
I remember someone saying this to me when I was feeling “out of sorts” many years ago. At the time it sounded so magical to me. Something that I wanted to believe in, yet so out of reach for me.
“If life is so wonderful and magnificent, why did I “feel” the opposite?” And “Why did my life “feel” out of control?” These were just some of the questions I would ask myself.
It felt impossible for me at the time to “feel” anything other than my pain. The continuation of my pain only created more pain. Doubt, fear, abandonment, all of these emotions seeped into my “being.” I felt emotionally crippled.
What I didn’t realize at the time was the more I would dwell on my pain, the more deeply I would “feel” the pain. I had no idea that the more I continued to put my focus on something, the more it would manifest.
My quest began for answers. I needed truth, facts, discoveries – anything that would give me hope for a better understanding of myself. The deep desire to learn more consumed me because I wanted to “feel” better.
Deep within me, I knew that no one could find these answers but me.
As my journey to know “me” started to unfold, I began to realize that stumbling into the world of coaching was indeed no coincidence. It was part of the beauty of my life’s purpose and plan.
Coaching has and continues to “be” such an instrumental tool for my personal and professional development. The context of coaching breeds understanding, acceptance, empathy and countless gifts.
Within the framework of coaching pleads powerful questions. Questions that beseech one’s soul for answers. Answers that help you “feel” better about yourself and your life.
I now “see” the possibility that life has to offer and the supremacy of manifestation. With this wish that has come true, I can no longer deny all its’ wondrous beauty.
Leave A Legacy
Perhaps there is no greater question we could ever ask ourselves in life but this:
“What is the real purpose to my life?”
We want our lives to have meaning and direction – we want to believe that all of our hard work mattered in the bigger picture of life.
In other words, we want our lives to count for something – wouldn’t you agree?
Well, I have to tell you…
The most rewarding part of my job is when a client tells me that they want to get their “life” in order because they don’t want their legacy to be full of “stuff” their family can’t make heads or tails out of.
They realize that when everything is all said and done, they want to leave behind something that matters – things that tell a story about their life experience.
Most people want to share these memories with their family and friends in a way that is uncomplicated and simple to follow.
The challenge with this however, is most people never get to clearing out their spaces and putting things in order to leave a proper legacy.
Then of course, their loved ones left behind have to deal with whatever trail is left – trying to make sense of it all.
Of course, this can range from important documents and legal matters to years of family collectibles, etc., which in essence costs excessive time and money and let’s not discount our “energy.”
During Tuesday’s Tel-Class I am going to share with you why it’s so important to get your “stuff” in order and show you how to begin the process that will honor and respect your wishes.
This is going to be a thought provoking class, so please come prepared to take notes and ask questions.

Worry About Today Only
Although my Mom was never big on having “one-on-one” conversations with me, she somehow always managed to share her unspoken thoughts with me in other ways.
I recently came across a clipping that my Mother gave me many years ago from the columnist “Dear Abby.”
I am eternally grateful that even to this day… I can still hear her…just when I need her the most.
It goes like this:
“There are two days in every week that we should not worry about, two days that should be kept free from fear and apprehension.
One is yesterday, with its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed, forever beyond our control.
All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday. We cannot undo a single act we performed. Nor can we erase a single word we’ve said – yesterday is gone!
The other day we shouldn’t worry about is tomorrow, with it’s impossible adversaries, its burden, its hopeful promise and poor performance. Tomorrow is beyond our control.
Tomorrow’s sun will rise either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds – but it will rise. And until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is yet unborn.
This leaves only one day – today. Any person can fight the battle of just one day. It is only when we add the burdens of yesterday and tomorrow that we break down.
It is not the experience of today that drive people mad – it is the remorse of bitterness for something which happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring.
Let us therefore, live one day at a time!”
(Amen Mom – Amen.)
A New Way Of Looking At What’s Important
A New Way Of Looking At What’s Important
It’s interesting to me that what we think is important may not necessarily be high on the roster list of things to do. Yet if we perceive it to be so important, why do the important things usually get done last and everything else gets pushed to the front?
I have noticed that most people tend to think if they address the small tasks first, that once they get that all out of the way, they can focus on the bigger task at hand. When actually, the opposite is proven to be true.
Delaying the task that will have the greatest impact on your day or your overall goal is like sitting and watching a frog that you know you have to eat. It doesn’t’ pay to do this all day.
Yes, you heard me right –“Eat The Frog.”
The concept is this:
If you know that the first thing you have to do each morning is eat a live frog, you can go through the rest of the day with the satisfaction of knowing that this is probably the worst thing that is going to happen to you all day.
And…let’s just say you are really busy and you have two frogs before you, well, eat the ugliest one first.
Well it made me laugh when I first heard about this and it became a big splash for some of my clients who were struggling with procrastination and prioritizing effectively.
Enjoy!
