“Your journey has molded you for greater good, and it was exactly what it needed to be. Don’t think that you’ve lost time. It took each and every situation you have encountered to bring you to the Now. And Now is right on time.”– Asha Tyson
Often times I hear clients or friends asking, “when do you know it’s the right time?” They are often weighing their choices, trying to make a decision, like whether to stay or to go, from a job or a relationship.
And that’s when I pick up my magic 8 ball…wouldn’t it be great if we had something so definitive like that toy? But how many times have you played with a magic 8 ball and when you didn’t get the answer you wanted, you shook it and tried again?
So often I talk to people who try to find their answer in items like magic 8 balls, horoscopes, psychics, or by polling their friends and family. And “life coach” is one more person they ask for the answers. But my job is not to tell you what you should do. Rather than spend all that time searching for the answer in others, I recommend going within yourself. I believe we all have the answers we need inside. It takes getting quiet and listening, maybe journaling, and paying attention to what people, places, activities and things really make your heart sing. As a life coach, I have learned from amazing teachers and have some great tools to get you in touch with that inner wisdom, and I can support you on that journey. But you decide what the destination will be.
So if you’re going to flip a coin to make your decision, ask yourself – which way do you hope it lands? And if the “right decision” could truly be determined by a coin toss or a magic 8 ball, would you follow it’s direction? What’s really holding you back?
Maybe Now is the right time. Maybe there’s never a “right” time. What do you want to create in this one, beautiful, amazing life of yours?
