Our best coaches are often our boss, our partner, our children, friends who tell us things straight, the person who honks at us while we’re driving, and, ultimately, all the people who make us “lose our nerves.”
Welcome, challenges! Welcome, coaches! Welcome, difficulties!
You can ask someone you trust, saying, “You’re going to be my ‘therapist,’ and you’ll do exactly what makes me angry”; in other words, you reach an agreement with that person for them to act as a kind of “coach.”
