About 11 years ago I left a home I was visiting at and a storm began to pour water from the sky.   I felt a little like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, who found herself lost.  The rain came down so fiercely that I made the wrong turn.   It was dark and I was indeed going slowly.   I did not have GPS or a “Yellow Brick Road” to follow.  At first there was no awareness that I was heading far from my destination.   In fact, it wasn’t until I realized that the little I could see was totally unfamiliar.   The time had come to turn  the car around.

It was a good decision, because I’d still be going the wrong way.  We do that in many areas of life.   We either figure it is too late, we are totally unaware, or we don’t want to know we made a bad decision.   That can be with our occupations and having invested time in a field we don’t like.   It can be with our weight going either up to high or having lost way too much to be healthy.   It can be in driving somewhere new.   Or it can be with our education in learning that the money it cost or will provide doesn’t serve us well.

Going the wrong way means there is a consequence.   It can be a financial consequence that sets us back like having to pay off a school loan without having a job.   It may be a health risk by having made a bad choice in the diagnosing the disease correctly.   Often the consequence is loss of time and talent or even years of our lives in a bad relationship.  

Many of these issues can be resolved with support from a good mentor or coach.   They cannot do the work for us or make the impossible happen, but they can help one clear out their thinking and advance forward.   They are in a sense, the GPS in life.   They are the map for a lost direction or for clarity that something else can be done.   If someone is truly ready to listen and is open to change, anything is possible.   Our attitudes are the first line of change.

Peace for you day.  Let it be one of delight!  If you need a coach or want information, please connect here with us at www.lindagullo.com
