What are YOU waiting for? Three reasons to get out of bed in the morning …
18/8/2015

Ever fantasised about winning the lottery?  Of course you have … the house, the car, the holidays … and then what?

 

Once we get beyond the shopping spree, have you ever given thought to what you’d do then?  Most people spend more time writing a shopping list than they do thinking about what they really want out of life.

 

A number of clients have come to me to help them discover this after life-changing experiences: Tsunami, airplane crashes, car crashes and worse. Suddenly they realise how precious life is and want the very best from theirs.

 

Most people don’t take the time to think and write it down because, whilst it sounds easy, it’s a tricky thing to do on your own. Once we get into that delicious place of “what if?” negativity kicks in: suddenly there are so many reasons why we can’t, shouldn’t, couldn’t. We feel blocked, frustrated, disappointed and give up with the process.  This is where the trained coach can gently guide us through this mine field and bring us back to our authentic selves, untarnished by negativity.

After peeling back the layers of doubt and disbelief, we get to the very core of what is important, a unique blueprint of what a person really wants.  There are many, many things and usually we pick out the top ten.

 

In the eleven years I’ve been coaching there are three themes shared amongst most of my clients.  All slightly different and unique to the person I’m coaching and yet a common thread:

1. People:  having time with the people that matter in their lives.
2. Time: to explore – places, learning, expanding horizons.
3. Life of Meaning:  giving back in some way, making a difference.

We don’t have to win the lottery to do these things, we can just make a conscious choice to start, it’s all about being on purpose.  So make that call and get your people together.  Get that book on Thailand out of the library.  Go out of your way to help someone, every day.

 

Little by little you’ll realise you matter, you grew, you made a difference.  What are you waiting for?
