It's about the journey and not the destination

Have you even noticed how some people are rushing around so focused on arriving at their destination?  They somehow think that arriving will be the answer, what they dend to miss out on is the what I think is the best part and that is the journey.  All the little things that happen along the way.  Today I choose to help a friend and collect some brochures and deliver them in time for an urgent mail campaign.  The round trip was 170 miles, along the way I experience 4 seasons of weather and the most beautiful patterns in the sky following the mini storm and admiring the greenness of the trees and nature as I drove up the motor way.

Along the way I had the opportunity of learning some more as I just cannot get enough of Susan Jeffers.  About 3 years ago I got involved with Forever Living Products before I took my two year gap years.  Today I popped in to the product centre as my brother requested me to buy some Aloe drinking get as the doctor has given him the news that he suffers from IBS.  Well three years ago I was trying to get and everyone to use the products as they do work I was amazed and pleased with his requests.  This gave me the opportunity to think of re-visiting the idea of getting actively involved and had a chance to speak to Maureen the centre manager who kindly gave me the details for the ladies of head of events as I enquired about doing on talk on Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway® written by Susan Jeffers P.h.D as I am one her licensed trainer now. 

Arriving at my friends it was so refreshing to be greeted by her loving dog and the birds sound different to where I live.  Just to reflect and thinking that for over a decade my life was on the road doing anything up to 800 miles a week.........how did I do it?  I am so excited with all I have to do to get my workshops booked but am really trying to enjoy my unique journey of taking one step at a time and not focusing on the destination or outcome but to let it go and just be fully present!  So what ever you do - do it with all your heart I find it so much more enjoyable and remember what you put out there into the universe in what will come back to you!

Yesterday was my last day of my coaching course and at the end of course many students asked the tutor where to from here?  Does the college offer anything else?  What else to you teach and where?  The tutor replied. "I would love to do more."  So I asked, "So how can we help you do that?" He went to explain that we need to write into the college and request or enquire.  I then suggested since we had just filled in feedback forms to write our comments on there and promptly got up picked up the forms and handed them back to the students which he seemed very grateful for. 

I then enquired after most of the students had left of how I could get involved with teaching or speaking at the college and he kindly gave me the name of the lady in charge as well as his number so who knows we might work together in the further!  So I will keep you updated of how and where this goes.




Many Thanks
