​Reflections by Laurel Elders, Founder & CEO

Michael Tucker, the Senior Partner here at the Institute, shared another piece of wisdom in his latest video message from Saudi Arabia. For those new to following his adventure, Michael was offered an Executive Coaching position in Saudi Arabia and relocated this year. We are featuring a few of his messages, especially as they relate to cultivating Integrative Intelligence and also expanding into a global perspective.

I’ve posted Michael’s powerful message below. After watching, I invite you to consider the coaching prompts that follow so that you can deepen your path of integration.

The Three Phases of Your Soul’s Assignment, by Michael Tucker:

I appreciate Michael’s message this week because I realized that each time I distract myself with TV, with the Marjon app on my phone, or FB, I am squandering the gifts I’ve been granted in this lifetime. 

The definition of squander is to “waste something” valuable. I decided to move from squandering to pondering.
What happens when we can sit with ourselves? Our gifts come to life. Our purpose gets enriched. The unresolvable resolves. The unhealed, heals.

One of my most cherished metaphorical life lessons is found by learning more about ducks. Those of you who know me are probably thinking, “Oh not the ducks again!” Yes, the ducks again. Why? The lesson we can glean from ducks is one of the most valuable life lessons for optimizing our potential.

Ducks float because they preen their feathers. They apply an oil slick that allows the water to repel off the top feathers. Should the down feathers beneath get water-logged, they could sink like a brick. I saw this wisdom at the heart of Michael’s message. What do you need to do to rise above the drowning noise?

For me it is a spiritual practice and morning workout. Now I’m adding less TV time, more pondering and space to build my gifts. When we elevate our gifts, they elevate us.

I invite you to sit with Michael’s message as an invitation. What phase is your soul in? How can you go all in? What helps you remain elevated?

“And if you do this with these phases of your soul’s assignment when you leave this place, this plane – when you transition - you will know you have lived a life that is worthy of you.” So that you can become the most “authentic powerful version of yourself”, you are invited to “master art of going within.”

Michael reminds us to: “Heal deeply. Create boldly. Serve powerfully.”
