It’s YOUR life!  Paying attention to your journey is one of the most important things that you can do.

I often see coaches telling people how important it is to set goals and strive to hit them.  They teach to plan every moment of your day and work, struggle and grind it out. I do believe that having goals is essential.

I do believe that if you don’t have any idea where you want to go or what you want to do, you will spend your time spinning your wheels.  Goals, plans, and good habits are a must for living the life of your dreams.

However, I don’t believe in is planning every second of your day—rushing here, rushing there thinking that the person with the most on their “to-do” list is the most important.

What I have learned from helping many people and also living my life is that life happens while you are making lots and lots of plans. If you are too busy to experience what is happening, you miss everything.  I have learned and teach all my clients that the journey is the most crucial part of your goal.

Have you ever wanted something with all of your heart?  You worked for it, struggled for it, and put all of your thoughts and energy into getting it only to find that once you got it, the thrill of having it was gone?  Yes, you got it, and it was fun for a day or two or maybe even a week. But….The big thrill was gone, and you were on to the next thing that you wanted. This is how life works.

We came to this planet to joyously expand our lives.  We will always want more, and that is okay.  That is how it is supposed to be.  The problem comes when you don’t allow yourself to enjoy the journey along the way.

The truth is most of the thrill in reaching your goal comes from the journey.

It is vital to slow down a bit and feel that thrill.  Feel the little wins. Allow yourself to marvel at what you see, feel, hear, and smell.

Allow yourself to enjoy the moment, each moment.  Enjoy the people you meet and even the lessons you get the opportunity to learn.

Take the time to see this world for the extraordinary, glorious, marvelous, magical place that it is.

Learn to do what you do because you are passionate about doing it.  Do what you do because you can’t not do it.  Feel the pleasure in the steps you take.  Stop and smell the roses.  Allow yourself to enjoy your life, not struggle through it.

You are so very loved, cared for, watched over, and prospered at all times. Learn to trust the process of life.  Learn to appreciate all of it.  Remember how precious your life is.  Now go ahead and set your goals; the rewards will be in the journey to reaching them.

I am sending you all green lights.
