Many times in coaching, I come across people who might need my help, but they just aren’t ready to take action. Some of them have absolutely no clue about what they want to achieve and are merely moving from one day to the next trying to survive (and not just financially either). These people are going through their days doing the things they are “supposed” to do (ya know working, paying bills, taking care of their family etc.) and while they feel like something might be missing, they have done very little to figure out what that is. They might be fearful of what is waiting on the other side or simply have forgotten what it feels like to dream again. These are the people who do such a magnificent job living in the moment for what it has to offer, while not thinking too far ahead.
Then there are the dreamers, the visionaries, and the self-development seekers. These are the people who are always working toward something. They have an idea of what they want but may not know how to get there. They are excited for what the future may hold, but they are stuck in fear, anxiety, or lack the confidence to move forward. These are also people who feel that something is missing and are ready to find out what that is. They dream, they envision, they imagine, and more often than not they have stars in their eyes for that moment when they finally feel like they are living their purpose and enjoying the journey of growth and evolution.
Both of these groups are stuck in one form or another, but the latter group feels the pull to move forward into the unknown. They are willing to risk leaving their comfort zone in order to see what else is out there. They are ready for that first step and many times that first step begins when they reach out to me to find out how this coaching thing works. Their interest was sparked just enough to make them wonder and imagine what they can accomplish with a little help.
Have you ever thought about what category you fall into? Both groups have their strengths and regardless of where you may fall, you too have a wealth of potential that you can use in this life.
The question is, when you feel that pull and you wonder what might be missing…are you willing to take the steps to figure it out?
Here is what I have learned since taking the leap of faith into my dreams.
- If you feel like you were meant to do something more than what you are currently doing…you are probably right.
- Taking the leap is far more exciting than scary
- All it takes is a simple, tiny step to get the momentum rolling
- Once you are on the path, the pull gets stronger and the inspiration that follows will remind you to just keep going

Thank you so much Sue. I agree! We all have things we are meant to do and many more that we want to do, but so many people are fearing even that simple first step.
