I remember a conversation from long ago…
At the time I was dangling a few of my toes into the waters of professional coaching
Talking with a friend (who was good enough to pay me to coach her in those early days)
I asked her…
What time do you want to meet next week?
She replied
My boss said I am free to talk with you any time I want to
I smiled
She owned her own business
With her risk came her reward
She was free
Hearing her, I knew I wanted that same in my life
I wanted my life to be
UP TO ME
Free
In the days that followed
I imagined myself having a coaching business
Living where I wanted to live
Working when I wanted to work
Playing when I wanted to play
Playing a lot
Allowing lots of money into my life just because I like it
And loving the work I do with people
I thought about this today
On a Monday
As I sit with my coffee and look out my window
As I play with my son
When much of the world is going off to a job
I am in no particular hurry
After all the day is mine
Like they all are
I’m glad I had that conversation with my friend all those years ago
I’m glad I heard what she was telling me
Living your dream is really just about making decisions
And I think anyone can do it, if they really want to
