Patience VS. Procrastination...

Patience vs. Procrastination...

Which is it for you?

• Are you waiting for someone to see your utter brilliance at work and give you a promotion?
• Are you waiting for the phone to ring with your dream job offer?
• Are you waiting for someone to start your dream business for you?
• Are you waiting for that lost love to see the light and come back changed being everything you wanted them to be?
• Are you waiting for another to rescue you?
• Are you waiting for somebody to take responsibility for the pain they are causing you? How long are you prepared to wait for them to change?
• Perhaps you are waiting for just the right time to start that diet or take up an exercise regime?
• Are you wishing away pain and grief?

Sadly, there is no magic wand…
but there is magic...

Trust me, I've been there. I've willed someone to "rescue" me from my life and myself; a kind of living hell of unmet expectations and dashed hopes.

Wasting years of my life in a “holding pattern” believing it would somehow work itself out if I could just work harder. I waited for my world to change, but it wasn’t about working harder, it was about working smarter with a focus.
 
I can't tell you how many times I questioned why things weren’t just magically happening and kept pushing myself harder thinking I needed to do more.

That was until I decided to change my approach.

I stopped expecting the world to say to me I see how hard you work, you should have this and then hand it to me

I took a step back, stopped all activity, refocused, clarified my vision and started digging my "escape tunnels" instead.  I changed my focus and turned up the creativity. 

When I quit waiting for life to deliver and focused on my plan, the wonderful things I dreamed of eventually came to me.
 

Out of a place of gleaming hope and zero fear, I found the courage to gain additional certifications and launch my business which is now a career I adore.   I couldn't have done a lot of this without life and business coaching.
 
It gives me chills to think what life would've been like if I hadn't had bothered?  If I'd left it to chance?  If I'd given up?

...and the definition of luck?  
It's when preparedness meets opportunity.

Here are some "coaching"  questions to get you started:

• What does your vision of reaching your goals look like to you?
  
• How different would your life be if you achieved your goals?
• What actions would you have to take to overcome obstacles or stop making excuses?

Something else to think about…

I love your passion, your determination and your eye on the outcome, but it is vital to live in the now as you follow your dream. 

You can't put your life on hold until you drop the dress size, meet your dream date or take over Apple.  The journey is as important  as achieving your goals.  

Patience must mean that you enjoy your life in its fullest while holding your dream deep in your heart.
 
Take one step at a time, tell friends, create a community, do what you have to do to get there.

Enjoy and be grateful for each day and never ever give up!
