All Change...
I am sure most of you have heard the expression 'a change is as good as a rest?'. Well, I believe it is true but for change to be effective on a personal level it needs to start close to home, with ourselves, starting from within. I decided to venture on a new path not just to change but to become a better version of myself. I wanted the change to strengthen and increase my own knowledge so I was in a position to be able to help others. To do this to the best of my ability, I first needed to understand myself better. And what a journey that has been...
"Your life does not get better by chance,
it gets better by change" Jim Rohn
Last year I qualified as an NLP Practitioner, this year a Counsellor and as of late, a Wedding Celebrant. I now define myself as the three 'Cs'... Consultant, Counsellor and Celebrant. What I had not envisaged however, was a 4th 'C'... a car-crash! This very recent unexpected event became another 'C'... a challenge. The real test was my own handling of the situation... Was I going to crumble, or to cry? I did neither. Instead, I have become more focused and more determined.
I truly believe that my own personal training has given me that strength to focus on the positives and as a result, I choose to conquer! For whatever reason this chain of events has occurred, it was now a question of choice! Having a conviction to succeed is what separates the wheat from the chaff. And this is a rule that we can apply to everything that happens to us in life, every single day.
To have courage is the greatest gift you can reward yourself with... If adversity strikes or you 'fall off your horse', and it happens to us all from time to time, then the best thing you can do is get straight back on the horse, focus and carry on. Things that happen in our lives for whatever reason can be a huge wake up call. At these times it is worth remembering to cherish all and who is around you and never forget your childhood dreams and always remember in life those words... you can! It really is as easy as ABC! I am looking forward to my new chapter and if I can be of help to you, contact me and let me help you to create your new chapter... Your life is in your hands.
