READY FOR THE "BIG CHANGE" YOU NEED?

READY FOR THE "BIG CHANGE" YOU NEED?
Got something this morning that said something about holes and drills and that people are not looking for a drill, but are looking to fill a hole.
This was a very good reminder for me; both of that hole that was in my life some 15 years ago, and what it took to fill it.
I had hit a point where my frequent unhappiness finally drove me to the realization I needed a big change in my life. Relationships of a personal nature were headed south, work gave me no boost, and it was just that....work. I did not like looking at that person in the mirror. After 46 years on this earth, and many "good times", it was not a great place to be at! I know many others hit the same point; most want but are not ready for "THE BIG CHANGE".
I have seen many come to this crossroad in life and succeed. I chose today in both my personal life and career to focus on success. I study it in the lives of others and in what has happened in my own life. Part of change for me was expanding my formal education to a place where I could professionally coach others. Where I wanted to go and do came crystal clear after reading a book called "Half Time" and spending a great deal of time in meditative soul searching.
When the light came on and direction clarified as to what THE BIG CHANGE might look like, it was time for the hard part....ACTION.
I had been in a rut for so long I really didn't know how to take the needed action, and like an underperforming athlete or musician, I needed someone to help and push me through the action phases of change. Once I got rolling, momentum based on successes took over, and I found my need for an outside push lessened as I grew within.
I hit a point where I knew I needed BIG CHANGE in my life. I did not like the life I had, and became ready for change. I got the external help I needed and took action, and in taking action located that something inside of me that has allowed progress to occur over an extended period of time, and learned, and continue to learn, from the successes of self and others.
There are a million books you can read on turning it around, what the qualities are of successful people and what success looks like. There is only one way that will allow you to achieve what you read. Simply put, get committed deeply then take action.
There is no one "right" way once you are ready for BIG CHANGE. Having walked the talk and having worked with and learned from hundreds of others, I have learned very few do it alone. Wonder why just about every high performer and goal setter and achiever has a "coach" in their lives, an external mirror? Do you need BIG CHANGE in your life? Are you ready for it and importantly are you ready, truly ready, to take action? If the answer is yes then take action and contact me (www.hopeserenity.ca) and as a sounding board and with no charge, let's see if my experience can help you design an action plan for you.
