every day i get to do this work is a

celebration...

this was my answer to a great question today! today was a very coaching intensive day, not that this should be a surprise since i am in fact, a coach! but i was coached by two different people today...great thing about getting this coaching is that it's helped me become clearer on some things i need to do and it was also great to talk about some of the 'stuff' that's been going around in my head - stuff about my business that is, and stuff i probably needed to talk about earlier than today...

anyway i digress! so at the end of the 2nd of these sessions (the 2 sessions were with 2 different coaches) my 'coach' asked me how i was going to celebrate when i reached my goal - and what i said is this: "every day i get to do this work is a celebration....sure i could buy a book or some nice shoes or perhaps even treat myself to something material, but really, every day i wake up and am able to do this work is already a celebration" and by this work i mean coaching, counselling, helping people lead happier and more fulfilling lives....and it's so true!

i am truly fortunate and priveleged and i try not to forget that - and sure i have bad days, and sure there are days when it's not all coming together how i'd like, and other days when the people i think i might work with don't work the way i do so i end up feeling frustrated etc...but that's normal right? when you are setting up a business this is all normal stuff..but i don't let that stuff get in the way of the fact that i am living my dream...

every day i work with people, every time i have a positive impact on someone's life, every day i get to work with who i want and pretty much when i want - what more could i want?

actually in my work space probably only one thing: more clients! coz then i can do more of what i love :-)

and in my personal life, well, in time, and when i'm ready (and i'm on the mend) to meet that special someone - that special man who will love me for who i am and what i'm passionate about, who will lsupport me and look out for me, who will be on my side, who will be there for me and let me be there for him, to share my life with (and by life i mean my life and the things in my life that are important to me), to live my life with, to explore the world with, who holds my values dear to his heart (coz they are his values to), who cares about people, who wants to make the world a better place to live in, who gets that success isn't about money but about fulfillment and meaning, who will have integrity and passion and dreams, who will value a life shared, who is loving and can be loved, who is capable of great feeling, who is kind and compassionate, who wants to live a meaningful life...

i could go on, but i won't - i'll continue to refine what it is that i want and i'll continue to hold onto the dream that he is out there for me somewhere - and i'm not ready yet but i know that one day i will be....
