I love that look people get when you hit on a topic that “lights them up.” Do you know the look I’m talking about? It’s the look they have when they talk about something they’re passionate about doing, seeing or creating. When you have a conversation around this topic with these people, it seems as if they “come alive” with enthusiasm, energy and excitement. When they talk about IT (their new business idea, a new product they’ve found, a new direction, perspective or outlook) they simply glow, their entire demeanor changes and their enthusiasm is simply infectious. So this leads me to a question I have for you.

What lights YOU up? What makes the time fly and your spirit soar? What is it that you’re passionate about that no one needs to motivate you to do because the desire for it comes easy? What is it that would be considered your unique gift, strength, talent or calling? Are you a great baker, do you have a green thumb, are you an incredible organizer, a compassionate friend, a fantastic listener? What do you do that others seem to struggle with and for you it comes easy?

There’s something you are uniquely qualified to do (yes YOU!) It’s your specific gift that’s waiting to be unleashed and shared with others. Do you know what it is and are you sharing it?

While everyone has a gift to share, over the past nearly 20 years coaching hundreds of women, I’ve seen time and time again how those gifts are often buried under layers and layers of fear, doubt and insecurity. For some, the thought of pursuing a passion, new direction or dream is nothing less than terrifying. They instantly think about what others will think or say, how they’ll be perceived, what will happen if it doesn’t work.  They bring up all of the other excuses like “I’m too old” or “I’m too busy”. They don’t trust that they can their ideas are worth of time, energy and effort.  They don’t trust themselves to stay with it long enough to bring those ideas to fruition.

Others are focused on surviving versus thriving and their greatest goal may be nothing more than getting through another hectic day. For this group, it may be easier to sleepwalk through life rather than “rock the boat” by questioning the choices they make, the quality of the relationships they have and to be honest with themselves to determine if the lifestyles they’re living are satisfying, fulfilling and meaningful to them.

This year is quickly winding down and a New Year will soon begin. The opportunity it presents is equivalent to the Ultimate Monday (you know, the day where the new eating and exercise plan usually begins?)

Sure you can enter another year without a plan, strategy, or goals, but you know what the definition of insanity is, right? It’s doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result! What would it look like for you if 2010 was the year you finally started pursuing that dream, getting your body back into shape, exercising regularly, taking the time to do what it takes to improve your relationships with those you love?

What if 2010 was the year you stepped into your greatness-recognizing how magnificent you are and doing something with your talents? What if you took that idea for a product or service and turned it into a business? What if you finally decided to say “no” to the things that zap you of your time and energy, leaving you more time to say “yes” to the things that bring you joy?

You see, there’s nothing more exciting than pursuing your passion and living your dream. Giving up all excuses as to why you can’t (trust me, I’ve heard them ALL) and realizing that the only person ever really stopping you is…you.

So if you’re ready, I’d love to help! Let’s talk (either by phone or in person if you live close by in NY) and discuss how you can make 2010 your best year yet! Since I’m practicing what I preach, 2010 will be a big year for me to build my speaking career but I’m still privately coaching a handful of motivated and dedicated clients.

Will you be one of them? If so, click here to find out more about what we’d cover in our sessions and choose the one that works best for you.

Do you want to get started with a one time session to create a personalized game plan for health/fitness/wellness success? Would you rather have a long-term coaching relationship? Would 3, 6 or 12 months do the job?

I’m looking forward to working with you and inspiring you to become your personal best. Are you ready? (That was a trick question-of course you are!) Click here and get started now.
