Feature Article: No
Regrets
It's
hard to believe the first month of 2004 is almost over. I haven't
done everything I have envisioned this month, yet. Not quite enough
time if I want to live a peaceful, unhurried life.
Recently a client of mine asked how I get everything done. I had
to tell her that I don't.
The only way to live a life that you love, is to make choices.
And some of them will be hard. But, in order to make those choices,
we need to know what is important to us. No, not what is important
to your parents, your co-workers or the PTA.
You are the only you there is. If you are not doing what you were
meant to do, who is doing it for you? It's up to you. For example,
I am not a good cook. I don't do bake sales. My kids rave about
how good so and so's mom's puppy chow is. I smile and give them
a quarter to get me something. Now my kids are older and if they
want to participate, they bake while I oversee. You have got to
taste their peanut butter kisses!
It's a hard pill to swallow, realizing we can't do everything we
are asked to do or even everything we want to do. Not all at one
time.
Action Plan
Picture yourself at the
end of this year. What is the one thing, that if you don't do, you
will really regret?
_________________________________________________
Now you have a focus. Write it down somewhere, where you can see
it often.
What will you give up, in order to do this?
_________________________________________________
I plan on making my own choices this year, not have everyone else
choose for me. And I don't plan on regretting what I really want
to do.
Resources
Take the Goal
Rush Challenge- It will help you brainstorm goals, then focus
on the most important ones. I printed this off and am working on
it now.

COACHING TIP
"Before you commit to something, make sure it is in alignment
with your goals, purpose, or values. Don't commit out of fear of
saying no."
