Thanks for bringing up what Jesus was trying to say. I didn’t want to turn the blog entry into a Bible lesson – but when I researched it I was fascinated by how the original quote was trying to convey a rather different message.

Jesus used the saying slightly differently as I understand it – he was saying that others would be asking, “If you save others, why don’t you save yourself?” Not understanding that he wanted to sacrifice himself to save others …

I saw it in action in the CTI trainings and was astounded at how well it worked. Given how much of a miracle each of us are that we’ve grown from a tiny cell and managed to walk, talk, and feed ourselves – there must be some truth to the statement. But often it’s so much easier to experience our own and others deficiencies.

Thanks so much for advancing the art of coaching, Lyssa, especially in the software world!

Now,as a coach, just holding that thought and treating people that way has shown me that people really are naturally creative, resourceful and whole. And, they always have been.

It’s a miracle!

Thanks for bringing this thought to clarity for me, Harold.
