There is No Place to Get To and Yet There Is

Talane’s Coaching Tip for the Week


There is No Place to Get To and Yet There Is


You can give up striving because there is no place to get to. This is it. And the reason I can say that now with some authority is because I have “arrived” and didn't even realize it over the past three and a half years and might never have realized it except that I happened upon the sketch I had drawn up of my ideal life that must be over 10 years old. If you aren't enjoying the journey to get wherever you think you need to be, then you have really missed the boat and need to seriously consider a very different journey. Some things we sign up for just aren't as glamorous in real life as they are in an ideal life, such as that horse ranch that might look good on paper, but may not be so enchanting when you discover just how much work those horses require.



Now, that being said, there is a point in life at which you have put in place foundations that make a huge difference. This is the point at which you may feel secure, safe or you breathe a sigh of relief. For many people this comes when they have bought their first home or apartment and feel that they have a base that they can now call home. For some it is having 1 to 2 years worth of savings in reserve so they know they can weather most misfortunes that might blow their way. For others it might be when they find the right partner to share life's ups and downs with. In the coaching work, we help all of our clients build a strong personal foundation for their life which includes: having a financial reserve to cushion the bumps in life; having plenty of love from friends and family; completing the past so that you are free to create the future you want; getting rid of the petty annoyances in your life; getting past struggle and out of survival mode; getting your personal and emotional needs met so they no longer run you; discovering your top four values and orienting your life around them. This creates a rock solid foundation from which you can really enjoy life fully and is well worth working on. It might take a year or two to create, but is a worthy goal in and of itself simply because of the peace and strength having such a foundation will give you.





Enjoy!
