THE MOST DIFFICULT THING ABOUT
desireS
IS JUST LETTING YOURSELF
HAVE THEM.
I get it ā weāre grown-ups.
So many responsibilities. So many demands on our time, money, and energy!
With all that we have to do for other people⦠for our jobs⦠and for our familiesā¦
Who the HECK has time for themselves?
Moreover, who has the audacity to want BETTER for themselves?
Especially if weāve already got our bases covered ā secure home, reliable car, loyal partner, decent health⦠maybe even a couple weeks vacation or a lake house somewhere in there, too.
Thatās awesome! If youāve got all that great stuff, by all means, count your blessings.
But when youāre done with all that counting, how about doing some good old-fashioned imagining?
You knowā¦
Daydreaming.
Fantasizing.
Or what we coaches like to call creative visualization.
FOR A DESIRE TO BE AUTHENTIC, IT ALWAYS HAS TO START FROM WITHIN.
I donāt care what you call your own āintentional daydreaming.ā I just care that you start doing it.
Our coaching process will always start out with you imagining the āsomething betterā than what you already have.
Because I donāt believe in EITHER/OR.
I believe in BOTH/AND.
Meaning, we can be BOTH grateful for what we already have ā AND we can give ourselves permission to go after something more.
Because if Iām not mistakenā¦
something good PLUS something more seems like it just might add up to something EVEN BETTER.
Not ābetterā in the sense of keeping up with the Joneses.
Not ābetterā in servitude to obsessive perfectionism.
THIS IS about you, feeling better.
(And better⦠and better⦠and better⦠all the time! Remember: love is limitless.)
Not just ābetterā on vacations, or big holidays, or the one time in the week when youāre finally allowed to collapse in exhaustion.
Iām talking about YOU feeling better⦠every day.
Thatās because every day you fulfill your commitment to your desires is a day you get to demonstrate your own strength, love, and commitment to yourself.
Youāll be seeing yourself in a whole new lightā¦
ā¤ļøāš„ Powerful.
ā¤ļøāš„ Confident.
ā¤ļøāš„ Self-respecting.
ā¤ļøāš„ And above all, loving.
That last one will be important to remember every time you try to wriggle out of your coaching process because you feel guilty or selfish about going after your burning desires.
But let me ask you: are you really doing your loved ones (or your job) any favors when youāre relating to them from a place of depression, anxiety, boredom, or deep loneliness?
FeelING good ABOUT YOURSELF is the MOST LOVING THING YOU COULD DO FOR those you love.
And you will! Feel good about yourself, that is.
Because wonāt just be in a serious relationship with your partner⦠your family⦠or your job, anymore.
To some extent, those are always going to be moving targets of fulfillment, because they exist totally independently of you.
Youāll be in a serious relationship with the most personal and authentic part of you: your desires.
Youāll be respecting and honoring yourself by believing in your own capacity to get what you want.
And youāll be living your own personal love story every day, as you overcome your own fears, blocks, and challenges on the road to experiencing the powerful momentum of love and fulfillment.
Look, I know that youāre a grown-up. And I respect that youāre always going to be the expert on your own life!
As your coach, I come to you as an expert on the process of fulfillment.
Getting hung up in doubt about either of our roles in this coaching process is the only potential barrier to getting what you want.
