Volatility

2/28/2012

So, it's only Tuesday and already it has been a volatile week in the land of Peace And Joy. Yesterday I learned that a very exciting coaching engagement for the summer is not going to reach fruition with the client I had in mind, however, it could happen with some other client and for an even longer period, so I'm keeping it all in perspective... But it definitely qualified as a disappointment. On the flipside, today I visited a good friend and her twin 2 year old girls who came to me with arms extended when I said, "Can I have a hug?" which is something that even my nieces don't always do! And I got to join them for a walk along the Battery Park esplanade...which is very pleasant and the whole experience made me feel I was on holiday.

Ah, the up's and down's of life. I continue to accumulate evidence that disappointment is an inescapable part of a life well-lived. And that's the idea, isn't it? I'm someone who likes to say things like, "If you're gonna go, go!" and, the more sophisticated quote, "One cannot discover new seas without consenting to lose sight of the shore." If you're really going for it, really trying to grow into your destiny, and not just "phoning it in," disappointment is part of the cost of doing business. 

In that wonderful 1989 movie, Say Anything, Lloyd Dobler pursues the brainy but very attractive Diane Court. His friends warn him that she is out of his league and that he is likely to get hurt. To their warnings, he exclaims, "I want to get hurt!" That's the spirit, Lloyd. Go get 'em.

    I have been a devotee of all things inspirational since January 2005 when I first read Wayne Dyer's book "The Power of Intention." This year has been full of change and growth for me. I hope that something you  read or watch on this site will strengthen and encourage you! Let's begin this journey together!
