The Art of Moving Above the Line

By Rejoice Kur

My name is Rejoice Kur, my passion for coaching evolved over the years with the persistent drive of intense curiosity of what lies beyond the hurdles of life. To recognize that the desire to peruse and live a fulfilled life is an incredible force depicted in our journeys and ordinary narratives.
As I stated earlier in the introduction, my journey had responded the calling. So I developed a program based on the ‘above the line and below the line thinking’ model called A Journey To Personal Mastery.
I offer one-to-one online coaching sessions using this model as foundational. There are a number of models that would be integrated accordingly and where appropriate in your personal journey and business. I encourage you to book a session, and make the commitment to you.

INTRODUCTION

Imagine a time in your journey in life when both success and failure become attributes to your mental attitudes. That is actually the reality of life and a state of realization. This hypothesis is coherent with a model called above the line and below the line thinking. This model was put forth by Carol in Walking the Talk as far as my search could find. I came across the model when I joined the International Coaching Institute in 2021 to have a certified attachment to a journey that had begun before its realization. I got more perceptive of how it applies to most areas of our everyday life. The unfolding of its application had what would shape so much of my perspective of how I respond to life.

When I was a very young girl growing up in Wau town of the Sudan, in the early 1990s we used to go the Catholic Mission in our neighborhood to get teaching for the Holy Communion. In one of the evening I was so pleased to meet one of my lovely cousins who happened to be at the age to beginning learning the catechism. In our childish play she flipped my dress. I was totally embarrassed. The options for me were either to quarrel with her for the embarrassment which would be a family fighting each other, or to just let that go
