5 life lessons from Zia

As some of you know, I recently got a dog, Zia. She is a strong support pillar for me, both literally and figuratively.
Figuratively, in my coaching, a support pillar is someone or something that exhibits or reminds you of certain qualities that you need to remember, because they are important to you expressing your full self. ​These qualities are innate in you, whether you recognize that or not, because otherwise, you wouldn't be able to identify these qualities in others.

So, what have I being reminded of from Zia, my support pillar?

1. Be unassuming
2. Be firm
3. Be forgiving
4. Be thankful
5. Be alive in the present

What/who is your support pillar, and what do they want to remind you of?
