Beginning to See
A New View
About six months ago, I was talking with three of my coach friends from Connecticut. We’ve been “meeting virtually” on a monthly basis for many years and long before Zoom existed. I was in the midst of giving an update on a project that, for a variety of reasons, was taking longer than expected. I was very eager to have it done, however on that day, a more patient me provided this report:
“As I work on what’s necessary, I’m beginning to see what’s possible.”
As I work on:
what must be done first but I wish were done already,
what isn’t always that exciting to do,
what has some tedious components,
and what I thought would be done by now,
I’m beginning to see:
more than I could have imagined before I did this piece of work,
more than I thought would be possible,
something that is different,
and better than I originally planned.
This year, in addition to writing my goals on paper, I felt the need to see them in a bigger context, so I decided to create a vision board. I now have a colorful board hanging on a wall in my office that illustrates how I imagine my coaching business will evolve. In another room, I have a second vision board depicting some of the elements that bring me the most joy in my personal life and how I see those expanding.
