Staying True to your Highest Desires

I had a big dream.

I’d been dreaming about it for YEARS.

I read, I studied, I planned, I prepared, I meditated.

The universe received my dream and laid out the path.

It wasn’t easy.

It wasn’t fast.

It didn’t go the way I expected it to go.

I carried on and did the work.  I kept taking action, one day at a time.

But right when my dream was going to come true, I panicked.

I worried, and fretted, and discussed, and obsessively thought while wringing my hands.

I made a pro and con lists.  I conferred with others.  Many others.

I was paralyzed.  The dream stalled.

Then I remembered the true meaning that initiated the dream.

I reconnected with the initial feelings driving the dream.

It became so clear again.  So simple.

I had to do one more hard thing to get to the other side.

I’m now on the other side.

It is all that I dreamed it would be.

If You’re Gonna Invest, GO ALL IN!

When I first entered the world of life coaching, I participated as an observer.

I paid more than I thought I could.

I listened to others get coached.

I listened to others practice coaching.

I held back.  I let the others do the work.

I let the others share their stories and be vulnerable.

I learned, but I didn’t change.

Then I tried again.

I paid double what I paid the first time.

I participated more.

I talked more.

I went the distance and got certified.

I grew.  I learned.  But I still didn’t fully change.

Then I tried again.

This time I went all in.

I paid double what I paid the SECOND time.

This time, I was the only person being coached.

I still didn’t have to show up for myself if I didn’t want to.  But I did.

It was hard.  It was painful at times.  But I went all in.

I didn’t change.  I TRANSFORMED.

I am no longer the person I was before.

I am stronger, braver, and bolder.

A warrior of my own life.

Go.  All.  In.

Got Problems?

When we are faced with a problem, it feels like the problem stands alone in isolation.

We tend to think if we can just solve this one problem, life would be perfect.

First of all, life is one long series of problems.  The only person who doesn’t have problems is a dead one!

Problems are meant to happen.  They allow us to think, create, struggle, learn, solve, and conquer.

The problem is not the problem.

Believing we shouldn’t have problems is the problem.

We resist.  We fight.  We ignore.  We struggle.

We magnify the problem by resisting that it exists.

The way we are approaching the problem is our problem.

Instead of resistance, try approaching a problem with enthusiasm!!!

Welcome problem!
So glad to see you again!
How can I help solve you?
What would make this problem even better?
If that won’t work for you, we’ll try something different until we get it right!

Our problems require quality customer service.  They are our problems, after all, right?

Give them the best service possible.

Go above and beyond your own expectations.

You’ll blow your own damn mind!
