"When something intolerable is
in my life, I head for the water.
It leavens me in some way.
Some middle-most part of me is soothed and silenced by it."
Alice Koller

Against the Odds

"If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.  Vincent van Gogh

What if you did today, the very thing you have been longing to do? What if today was the day you didn't hear excuses, didn't see roadblocks, didn't feel fear? What if today ... you were the person you needed to be to do whatever you wanted to do?

It may be hard to imagine getting from where your are now to where you want to be. You might be afraid of how your world might change. Or, you might feel angry that you are being reminded, once again, that there is something you "should" be doing. 

We are continually facing the message that there is more out there for us to do and that if we are not doing what we "should" do, we are missing the boat. I fully acknowledge that there is more and always will be more we might do or might want to do. What I also know with absolute certainty is that people don't often do anything until a catalyst sets the wheels in motion.

For me, a recent friendly competition with a colleague helped me "find" the time to write nearly 40,000 words for my upcoming book. After months of stalling and writing only a few hundred words at a sitting, I was amazed at how committed I was to getting the words locked in. I'd been hearing voices that said "You don't have anything new to say. It's already been done." For a long time I listened.

Then one day I just wrote. And ... the voice was silenced. That doesn't mean it isn't trying to be heard every now and then. The difference is that I know exactly how to stop it's chatter. I do the thing that feeds my soul. The truth is that we can turn this switch "on" whenever we want. For those times when we need help, Life Coaching is a powerful catalyst for change.

Question of the month: “What will you do in these next precious hours to stretch your canvas?"
