My Son, the Life Coach

I went for a walk with my son today.

He talked about a friend of his who is struggling with wanting to go to college.

His friend wants to take a year off to explore.

Drive across the country; take trips to other lands.

He is told by others that he shouldn’t waste his chance to go to college.

Just suck it up for four more years.

Then my son speaks up to his friend.

It’s your life.  What do you want to do?

Is it true you’re wasting your chance to go to college?

Isn’t college available at any time?

There are many ways to learn.  College is just one way.

I’m here for you, whatever you decide.

I’m so glad I am a life coach.

I’m so happy I’ve been bold enough to teach my son about how to question his thoughts.

I’m so proud that he will have this skill for the rest of his life and is sharing it with others.

Where there is desire, there is a way.

I hope his friend follows his heart and finds joy in the adventures he seeks.
