Self Check: Are you already where you want to be, but just don't know it?

Coaching can be quite an amusing business. I just got off the phone with a potential client. She told me she felt honored to speak with me because I am doing what she wants to do. She categorizes herself as a "global citizen" and wants to become a global life coach. Then she proceeded to tell me about her wonderfully inspirational plans to someday - in maybe 15-20 years -  have a non-profit organization where she can be living out her purpose. Problem is she thinks she'll need money to buy a building for her organization.

After listening closely to the projects she is currently working on and how they match up perfectly with her values, purpose and non-profit's mission, I asked her something like, "So, why will this take you 15-20 years?? It sounds like you've been living your purpose for quite some time now. YOU embody all that your non-profit org is supposed to be about. What is stopping you from having your non-prof NOW?"

After a long pause, which was probably the "shift" sinking in of bringing a 15-20 year goal into the possibility of the PRESENT MOMENT, she said something along the lines of "Nothing...I could do that now....I AM doing that now..."  WOW!

It is amazing, and yet amusing, when clients make that big shift! I am wondering how many other people out there are already doing what they want to be doing in 20 years, but just can't really see it?

Amazing!!
