Have you ever stopped and asked yourself if your hopes, dreams and goals for the future are actually yours?
When we buy a picture frame, it often comes with a stock image holder that’s meant to be replaced.
Sometimes I feel the same is true for our lives. We get handed this life and we’re told we can fill it however we want, but that we forget to take that placeholder image out and end up creating goals for ourselves based on the placeholder – not necessarily what we deeply desire.
As an example, as a coach I find when I talk to other coaches, all of our goals and dreams sound the same. We want to build out variations of the same ‘funnel’s and offers’ and do variations of the same things – even though we are vastly different people.
It got me thinking that sometimes what we think we want is just really heavily influenced by what others we admire are doing, and then assuming we need to do the same.
But we don’t.
We get to be our own people, who do our own wild and beautiful things, we just need to slow down, lean in and listen to ourselves more. We need to be willing to think outside the box, leave what isn’t working behind and move towards what feels right for us.
A lot of us base what we work so hard for, around what we think we’re supposed to want, do, become and have. We need to learn to let go of those things, and reunite with what is meant for us – and only we can figure out and know what that is.
That is what we are diving into on this week’s podcast episode. Check it out here if you want to listen. I also go into some ideas on how to create the things we desire (financial freedom, security, meaning, purpose) without having to follow someone else’s path or idea of success.
Remember that this beautiful life is yours and you get to decide how you live it. That includes what you create, how you run your business and what you do to generate income for yourself.
I believe in you!
