Lisa - thanks for your thoughts. when i met you at sobcon, i got the sense that you are a great coach - and that you take that grounded in-your-face-but-still- compassionate approach to coaching. and you're right - this comment really should be a post. it's lovely in its images! chickpea - the next post in this series is called "what to do when you don't know what to do." i'm hoping it will help. my sense is that you're not alone - but at least you walked away from what you didn't want. that's step one. now you just have to move on to step two!

AND, i do know that at some point, I have to pick one of those songs and finish it. that's the simple truth. one path for a few years (in MY world) is better than lots of paths never taken. (my friend rebecca trained to be a personal chef - then she became one and lived in manhattan with a crazy rich family. now she runs an upscale hair salon in asheville and she does my hair. (she gets credit on my DVD for my hair and make-up!) she says she'll eventually leave that and become a mid-wife. each thing she has done, she has committed to completely and fully. but she did have to choose one thing and go for it. you're right about being young and having time. AND you'll be surprised at how fast 10 years will fly by. (also - i recommend getting the book "the wisdom of the enneagram" and reading the chapter on the number 7. you might be a seven. if you are, then you have to allow yourself even more space and kindness about this stuff! sevens LOVE lots of different things!) hello rhiannon – hmmm, there’s so much in what you wrote that i want to respond to, and i don’t know where to even begin. i’ll try to address it in a future post. i think it’s absolutely GREAT to pursue many things, to have many different songs going at once, to want to have a restaurant and hang out in the woods.

So thank you. As for this post, I'm happy to say that I've officially stopped lying to myself recently. Having put an end to that, I've dived into the process of sitting with what I want and knowing - sometimes forcing myself to believe! - that the way to get there from here WILL show itself. Some days this is much harder than others, as what I want seems so far out of reach and I have no idea what the steps from here to there look like. But I'm still sitting and believing that what I need will show up if I keep seeing myself already there and communicating that vision with the world at large! :) Hi Christine,

Yes, absolutely true. We all know what do we want but sometimes we deny ourselves our feelings on what we want because we thought we did not have the choice to choose. This is what it happened to me and my ex-job until I fully acknowledged that I have right to feel happy again. I am happy to share my story in return for an insipiration for anyone out there who feels they are stuck in their job: http://secretofunlimitedprosperity.com/date/2007/05/12/ Remember, we all have the power to make a choice in life. When we acknowledge this power, we will be able to acknowledge what exactly we want in our life too! Cheers Karen Christine

I left my safe, in many ways enviable, job in 2005. I knew it wasn't right for me and it was swamping my life, so I handed in my notice with no real plans, only the hope that with a little time and space, inspiration would hit me. Two years on, I'm none the wiser (and a good deal poorer financially). I really don't know what I want to do. I don't feel that I'm afraid. I have nothing to lose going all out for anything. I just can't hit on something to go all out for. If you have any suggestions, I'd be sooooo happy to hear them. Love your blog! Christine,

As a coach myself (I like to say completion catalyst), I am grateful for the NO BS appreciation you have for your work with your coach, and the rigorous, take no prisoners challenge you've offered your readers. Really stunning. What hit me most is Rhiannon's comment--trying to decide what to do. Just the word decide, if you dissect it, means to "cut off." Our fear in deciding is that we will cut off some other opportunity or path if we decide on one thing or another. But there is an expansive, beautiful grace that happens when we choose a particular direction and commit to it, and I would say it has more to do with physics, than woo woo granola. When we prune a tree -- decide for it, if you will -- our cut indicates a possible direction for next growth, and next growth and next growth. All along the way, the tree heals its original pruning, gathers strength and energy, and grows in the direction indicated by the cut. It's still branching and blooming and leafing and rooting and growing in every other direction, but the pruned spot has a specific focus and intent for a while. So, I say choose, young 26 year old! And everything, absolutely everything, will open up and say, "come get me!" I think I should have written a post... Christine, I am nearly clapping with yahoo woots!
