Stretching thin

It is funny how life moves so fast past us but nothing ever seems to get done!!! I have so many goals at the moment but each day things just get moved to the next day....at the moment I just cannot seem to see the end of the tunnel.

Life is like that though.

Every day we wake should be taken as a blessing and for this reason I should really not be complaining. However, why am I always feeling like my goals are just too far out of my reach. It is funny, when I started training in the International Coaching Academy I was a little lost. I knew I did not want to work in my existing profession full time but I did not know what I wanted to do, I also knew that I wanted to build my resume service as this was something that I enjoyed doing but I really had no idea how and finally I also knew that I wanted to become a coach but was petrified of taking this step. Finally a friend pushed me into making my decision and that was WHY JUST NOT DO IT ALL!!! I listened and here I am.

Here is where I outline why I am titling this blog as stretching thin. Thanks to the motivation that I have found in starting to follow my own goals - I have never been so busy. From working a standard working hour, then training an hour at night and then picking up customers for a couple of hours I am starting to look forward to my next long holiday....however I have never felt this much energy before. Yes I get tired but I can still find the time to do everything that I want to and then plan the things that I cannot do.

I found a great quote recently taken from Captain Andy of the love boat: " The lucky folks are the ones that get to do things they enjoy doing. Such folks are lucky because they have more energy, more happiness, less worry and less fatigue. Where your interests are, your energy is also. Walking 10 blocks with a nagging wife or husband can be more fatiguing than walking 10 miles with a sweetheart"

This is so true and this is now where I place my mind when I wonder where I am getting all this energy from. My heart is now directing my mind and for this reason I am lucky. I am lucky that I can follow my heart and I am lucky that I have reached the point in my life that I am comfortable enough with myself to be able to set my own goals and know I have a plan to keep them.

If there is 1 thing that I have learnt in the last 6 months that would be something I would like to leave you with is this, people who place themselves in action will be guaranteed to achieve something, those that wait for a better time will never find that better time.
