How many times in life have you had the chance to do something new, something different, something you’ve always dreamed of doing, yet you’ve told yourself ‘not yet’? Why is that, do you think? What holds us back from finally saying ‘yes’ to ourselves? What is it about our belief of ourselves that holds us back from taking the chance to create a new life for ourselves and our loved ones? Why do we tell ourselves that we don’t deserve this chance? You know, when I look back on the number of ‘not yets’ that I’ve made in my life there’s certainly been a few and if I had a dollar for each one then I’m thinking I might have been quite well off by now J. So, when I finally said YES and decided to take the chance by taking on a journey of professional life coaching I know now that it’s all going to be fine. It’s not been the big scary step that I first imagined. Instead I discovered this new world of learnings and experiences that have changed my life forever and now I know I will never look back because I have finally found my true life purpose. And it’s opened up this world of community support and sharing and generosity that I hadn’t realised was there. To stand on the edge of this new world and then take the step forward has been the best gift I have given myself in years. And that’s a bonus, don’t you think?

Life’s funny sometimes. I know of people who have lived their life in what I call ‘the waiting room’. They’re waiting for something to help them make the decision to take the leap of faith that they have always held themselves back from. By sitting in the waiting room they have put their dreams on hold and are waiting for something to help them step forward. And I think it’s about the magic pill that will make it okay to step out of the limbo. And that magic pill may help instil more confidence, perhaps more belief that it can be done, perhaps it’s simply deciding to say ‘yes’ to us for the first time ever, whatever the reason is, we are waiting for something that is apparently elusive.

And maybe, eventually life becomes impatient with our indecisions and presents a moment in our life that is more a crisis point. The purpose being to force us to realise that it’s time to move out of the waiting room and take a step forward into our dreams. I call this our special travel voucher, our permit to take a chance and follow our true purpose, our true path, our truth. It’s our shake up to recognise and realise that we’ve had what it takes inside us all along. That we are unique and the world is waiting for us. And when you think about it, the magic pill is really not magic at all. It’s actually us. It’s our belief that we can do this and that we will be okay. And allowing that inner adventurer that is inside us step out and say ‘now it’s time’. And part of that for me has been the decision that I made to take on a professional life coaching journey. And I’m glad that life has given me this gift, has given me this opportunity to create the life I have dreamed about and finally I heard the message. Finally I said yes to me. And my greatest joy is being able to lead my clients to this realisation as well. You and I know that the waiting room is full and it’s time to step forward and create the life that we deserve to have. And as a result, what we do, what we create, can make such a difference to all those that we connect with. And my message to you is this…your travel voucher is waiting for you just outside the waiting room. When you’re ready, it’s time to cash it in and enjoy the ride!
