Leadership & Executive Coaching - by Nermeen Edrees

Everyone made it into the picture. Well… almost everyone.

Funny how something can be technically "there" and still not really be seen.

As kids, we learned to build a puzzle by starting with the frame. As adults, we’re often handed the pieces without one. So we call it chaos.

But chaos is just things falling into place.

You don’t always understand the moment while you’re living it.

Sometimes, you need to walk a little further before the pieces start making sense.

Life is only understood backwards.

You plan. You prepare. You do the work . Yet, you know you’re not in control of everything that happens next.

Hold the direction....let go of the wheel.

The road less taken takes you to the same place…just with a different view along the way.

"...smooth' is boring but 'textured' was interesting, and the scar meant that I was stronger than whatever had tried to hurt me." ~ Jeannette Walls, The Glass Castle

Some marks don’t need to disappear. They remind us where we’ve been, what we’ve learned, and how much we’ve grown.

Not every crease is damage, some are evidence of becoming.

There was one chair. Nobody said it belonged to anyone.

Someone just sat down first.....and somehow, that was enough.

Funny how rules sometimes appear only after someone breaks them.

It didn’t slam....It barely even moved.
Just a little less open every time.
