A Taste of Spring

Hi everyone. Once again, here in the big apple, the sun is shining gloriously, the birds are chirping and the chill of winter is on the way out. What a treat to actually walk down the street without boots and a scarf. The last few days have brought lots to ponder as I spend time talking with people and hearing their concerns and challenges. If anyone reading this is not receiving my newsletter and would like to, please let me know. It offers current and relevant responses to address and move through to the other side of this storm.

In the spirit of coaching and my intention in blogging is to both share my personal "story" and some coaching for readers, here's today's thought.

In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.” - Albert Einstein

How about, for today, think of one thing that feels difficult to you. Then, stop listening to that voice, just for a moment and have a conversation with yourself. Pretend that someone very dear to you has come to you with this challenge. What would you tell them? How would you support them? Would you do your best to make them feel worse about the situation?

Of course not! You'd go a bit deeper, provide empathy and understanding....

Then, I invite you to think about one thing....just one thing that's an opportunity about the situation. The opportunity could be as simple as learning patience and having faith. You don't have to like it..You just have to see it! "What you can conceive and believe, you can achieve"..Napoleon Hill.

Go believe! Because you can.
