Until we start working the plan towards our goals and dreams, we don’t know what’s really going to work and what’s not. You have to constantly check in and assess where you’re headed, what you want, what’s working and what’s not.
This is a truth — I’m so incredibly passionate about. One that’s also gotten me chastised by people who believe it to mean I won’t push people or hold them accountable.
With my coaching clients and foundation members, I will never push or force them to be anywhere other than where they are right now. Sure, I’ll dive in and figure out what’s blocking them, if they’re really in need of more time or if they’re procrastinating, or if there’s something else going in, but I will never make them feel like they’re “falling behind” or create an added layer of unnecessary stress in their life.
Whether you’re setting out to rediscover yourself, find your passion, build a business, create a fulfilling relationship and everything in between, this is a journey. It takes time, patience, trial and error, exploration and experimentation.
You will hit blocks. You will trip up. Other things will come up. That’s life, it’s inevitable. The difference is knowing whether or not you’re using these things as excuses to avoid taking steps forward and feeling uncomfortable.
Even when our plans get off track, we are always right where we are supposed to be. Do you believe that?
Sometimes, no matter how much we prepare, we end up somewhere different than we planned to travel. Life’s Big Adventure Bus takes an unexpected swerve down a side road and we are left staring like spooked travelers out steaming windows, chasing the scenery for road signs, fumbling for our GPS.
Or maybe we had everything to do with the unexpected bend in the road. We forgot to change our clocks; or we had the wrong day; or we were detoured by our own clumsy mishap and found ourselves following blinking arrows, trying to find our way back to the road we planned on taking.
I know you know what I am talking about — it seems to happen almost every day, right?
I see our daily experiences playing out like rows of dominoes, falling down in lines, sometimes staying the predicted course — other times taking a spotted turn we did not see coming, and toppling over carefully placed schedules, with an ongoing, purposeful clicking and running that continues as life unfolds. Each domino — each experience — affects and lays trails with all of the people and happenings that it connects with and with every person and event that they connect with, and so on.
